I feel like the default should always be a fairly neutral expression, and then if Hasbro decides to include an extra head, they can do a more specific expression. Not everyone likes to display their figures in "action" situations, and it looks awkward to, say, have an Avengers display, with Thunderstrike randomly yelling.

Exactly. Nightcrawler should have been the standard for all figures.

I would have prefered an updated version of Holocaust insteadColossus, but if life gives you lemons ...

It would be nice if Hasbro included at least 2 head sculpts with every figure. One neutral, one character specific expressive. At the $23 price range and the embarrassing lack of accessories it wouldn't be out of the question. Just look at how fans of the Fortnite figures are gonna get hosed after Hasbro takes over. Not only are the prices going up from $18 (yes, Jazzwares is doing their best to remain steady) but there will also be a reduction in articulation, a massive reduction in accessories, and certainly an elimination of multiple face portraits as well. And the excuse that a BAF piece offsets the budget that would have been used for accessories isn't even there for that line. Believe me, if Hasbro could include any more less than they already do and think they could get away with it, they most certainly would. As a matter of fact, in the face of the Falcon Cap Finish-A-Figure and is what's looking to be a Doc Ock FAF on the No Way Home wave, I'd bet the farm that its just a matter of time before all BAF's turn to FAF's and all larger figures will be done in theDeluxe format. Mark my words. They're already setting the ground work to see how we react and also, everyone who settled on the most recent so-called Maestro figure has given them the signal as to just how much we're willing to take in regard to how many time using and reusing the same old large bucks.

Yeah, they really need to include neutral expressions.

Colossus looks good- Hasbro just needs to stop with giving figures heads with more specific expressions like this, unless they're also going to give us an alternate head with a more neutral expression. With the retail bumped up to $22.99 per figure, and a decent amount of re-used tooling, a second head for the BAF would seem like an easy add.

Looks really good.

The only thing I see wrong with that picture is Blink needs a new head...everything else looks AWESOME
