On this episode we cover the history of build a figures, an innovation certainly popularized by Marvel Legends from Toybiz to Hasbro.
But their history does go farther back and seems to have it's roots in Japan with a few smaller companies and McDonalds.

The first BAF was Mr. Potatohead 1949.🔥🥔🔥 You even had to buy the potato separately.

nope. because is the same matter for the robot that you assemble. a BAF figure means that you have your own figure and another figure that came out from pieces put together only if u buy the whole collection. e.g.: you buy Spider-Man and in the same box you have a Lizard's arm that you could only use with other lizards pieces and not with the Spiderman you bought.

The Figure Swapped Figure was one that I actually wanted, and I already had the one that had been Swapped but I only got it for a BAF Piece, so I swapped the figure back to where it belonged, it was technically Used but at least it wasn't a total disappointment to find on the shelf.

Also they have a bunch of translucent variant figures as well, I know how much you like those translucent figures Dan.

I also have to buy the " newer" Omega Red, ( I have the old one, no need to upgrade) just to finish Sauron. FIDDLESTIX!!!!!!!

And that's why I love Combiner Wars. You can just mix and match everything. I wish Generations Selects would release more combiner figures. I still need Skids, Tracks, Sideswipe, Grapple, Thudercracker, Soundwave and so many more. I couldn't care less if each base mold was used 20 times each, it's what I always wanted from my Transformers since G1. And besides, maybe Combiner Wars takes place in an era like Animated where all Cybertronians share protoform types and that's why they all use the same molds.

That initial Galactus wave is still my favorite baf line. Even though a few of the figures were "meh" to me, I had to have that Galactus. (Toybiz had me right where they wanted me.) It was worth it though. And back then, it was pretty easy to snag the whole set. Sometimes all at once. And the bafs were bigger. Heck, sometimes the baf today is smaller than the figures that the pieces came with. (Jubilee, Puck, Hit Monkey). Definitely more in it for the company, than for the consumer. Whereas the older big bafs were more symbiotic for both parties. Hasbro still has me where they want me though. Especially if its a good baf like Kingpin or the new Apocalypse baf. Now days though I can just buy the completed baf on ebay, if I find a good deal and I'm not crazy about all the individual figures.

The concept started as a way to get us bigger figures. Now it's selling us Lebowski Thor. I look forward to the inevitable "six recolors of one character" set that builds one figure that you ACTUALLY want. Also, fun fact: there's six figures to a set, but 8 figures to a case. When the aisles overflow with one or two characters, it's because there are LITERALLY twice as many of them as the other figures.

First thanks Dan for being a GI Joe fan and doing that episode of WOJM. Second, come on, the distribution of those MASS Device dvd sets was so bad most of us never saw the legendary crystal emitter part. Yeah sure Hasbro re released the figures in a make-up-call set, but that emitter never saw wide release. Most Joe fans bought dvds we had already and the umpteenth version of Duke in anticipation of a full Macguffin! Instead all we got was a sad off scale base for our Weather Dominator(s) and a cart for our Cobra trooper to push around. Bugger is bound to be the fourth GI Joe holy grail

The only downer is if you want one or two figures and have to figure out what you want to do with the baf piece that could have been extra accessories. This did create a secondary market for the figures without baf parts and for the baf parts themselves.
@ReconFigures

Great video! It's certainly a great strategy to get an extra figure as a reward for buying them all, but to those of us who still cherry-pick (due to financial reasons and/or personal preferences), it feels like it's a punishment. Honestly, I wouldn't mind paying for some BAF's whole, if I could avoid buying, say, more than half of a particular wave, but of course, I don't think companies would want to do it that way. But at least now there are trading communities so that's been helpful.

Just a correction: Matchbox Voltron Lions and/or Vehicles did not come out until 1985. Voltron was originally named Golion, and Golion did not arrive on US shores until 1982 in the Godaikin line. Unless you lived in New York or LA in late 1981 and picked up the Popy Japanese Box Golion sold in only 1 store in NY, and 1 store in LA, until the Godaikin line came out in early November 1982. In late 1984 World Event Productions (WEP) acquired Golion, changed the name to Voltron, and right before Thanksgiving 1985 had Voltron marketed by Matchbox into history with WEP’s immortal cartoon😊😊

I guess because the Droid Factory came as a complete set, is it merely a spiritual forefather? I'm guessing it eventually spawned some of the parts for the Build-A-Droid set, yes? I had the first run of the Droid Factory when I was a kid. Got it for my fifth or sixth birthday. What fun that set was... until the parts got lost!

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty figures from McFarlane Toys consisted of 6 action figures, each coming with accessories and a exclusive figure part to build up a exclusive 7th figure... the figure in question is Metal Gear RAY !!!

I think all toy dept employees at retail stores should watch this video. When a scalper buys all the Marvel Legends , removed the BAF parts, then returns them, and they go back on the shelf because the employees are oblivious to what's going on.....😡😡😡

I have yet to _ever_ complete a build-a-figure or collect and connect figure... I can barely afford a $20 figure, most months. Let alone a whole wave. So, I dunno if I ever will.

@@cjdunham7979 That's great! I've had the nickname "Pudding" for over 25 years. It's been cut in half over time. My circle of friends and I are all around the half-century mark. Some call me "Pud", some "Ding"; it's been an interesting evolution! Hell, some of my acquaintances from that early time never even new my real name!

This exact business model is the reason I own two shitty Marvel Legends serpent society members and a Malekith, but tbh I’m glad it exists because even though I just want a Thanos or a Cull Obsedian, it gives me excuse to buy multiple figures I was hesitant on and some of the figures I would never have bought in a million years but find my self pleasantly surprised by the quality and coolness of the figure such as a living laser figure and a Citizen V figure who I’m glad I now have in my collection even though I never said to myself that I wanted them in action figure form.
