That will come in time. Especially now that the Roboskull has proven people will back a 6in compatible vehicle. If a indie team can do that for just over 200, Hasbro can do better for the same cost.
I'm talking about individual special figures like Zartan (not BAFs though). |

Yeah it's one of those instances where letting some IP "theft" go is beneficial. Hasbro is never gonna touch Red Shadows stuff, but it shows that there is an appetite for 6 inch vehicles. Curious if they might go the route of having bigger vehicles compatible with multiple scales. Maybe do a hiss tank that can be piloted by one Classified figure or multiple 3.75 figures. I'm sure most wouldn't complain about a big hiss tank

Got our Pulsecon promo box, including Zartan.
I know Zartan's been out a bit, but I've stayed away from pics and discussion. I like to treat my figs like movies, spoilers, etc. So, Zartan's color change is pretty cool, was a nice surprise! Hasbro Pulsecon 2021 This Weekend – Quick Look at Zartan and More!

I received Barbeque today, great looking figure. When he initially came up for pre-order where I buy most of my figs, I decided to pass on him - as I didn't really like him as a kid, in spite of him being one of my first figures. I quickly changed my mind, seeing as how the figure was really well done and looked exactly the way an updated ARAH design should look, but by then it was too late - as he was sold out within a day. But about 10 days ago, they got a new batch up for order - and this time, I did not hesitate. I was surprised to get him this fast though, as I thought his release was supposed to be late November.
My only complaint about this figure is that it should have come with either a removeable mask or an alternative head for him. |

Hasbro owns the IP and per Bobby Vala's recent point that it's shoddy that Hasbro includes so few accessories when they aren't having to pay a licensor fee, they should have included an alternate head. They do it literally all the time with their Marvel Legends and Power Rangers figures, so why not here? |

I think some retailers got BBQ 'early' because they were willing to pay the fee to ship by air and then obviously pass that cost increase along to the consumer. I got mine weeks ago through The Chosen Prime and although it was $40 I had to have it and I don't regret the purchase.
