Ken of Mattman's HOMAGE to HASBRO & TOYBIZ: Dragon Man B.A.F. series

HOMAGE to HASBRO & TOYBIZ: Dragon Man B.A.F. series

In an effort to pay tribute to the marketing strategy of Hasbro's last few BAF series, I have developed the following line. Its premise is based on offering a large figure that most people know and want whose components are available only by purchasing several characters no one would otherwise buy or characters that have already been made while ignoring better known and as yet unmade characters. I am also borrowing the strategy from the old Wal-Mart exclusive Giant Man series of incorporating a needed component in a variant. The actual choice of Dragon Man honors ToyBiz for their Fantastic Four Series that was rumored to actually contain Dragon Man and Kang. ( I believe this was a direct-to-scalper limited offer, since I never saw, or met anyone who saw, these figures anywhere other than a collector shop or on E-bay.)
 
The series and distribution:

Texas Twister includes the head (1 per case)

Shooting Star with holstered guns includes the left arm (1-2 per case)

Shooting Star with drawn guns includes the right arm (1 per every 35 cases)

Crossfire includes the tail (1 per case)

Therak includes the left leg (1 per case)

Antro includes the right leg (1 per case)

Arachne  (packaged with her head facing you) includes the  left wing
Arachne (packaged with her head turned to the side) includes the right wing) (there were some production and shipping problems on this figure and so currently there aren't any in circulation)

Drax, who is probably the only figure most people would want, includes the spleen ( was supposed to be 5 per case, but due to the Arachne issue, we made it 6 per case )

To get the Dragon Man body itself, just mail in a Proof of Purchase for all of the figures and an unretouched digital photo of the complete Ronan the Accuser series on the pegs of any KB or TRU in NJ. We'll even throw in a spare Sentinel tentacle.
