So I have been reading suggestions all day, idk if this is outthere, but has anyone thoug of abilities for our action figures? Yes their cool, but there's really no use, it would be awesome if they gave a HP boost or DMG, maybe even heal? - Just a suggestion :)

    No it wouldn't. Because they are intended to do nothing, and were added into the game accordingly. If they actually offered some sort of in game effect then you'd have to completely rework the whole system.

    They were intended to be useless toys, and they should stay that way.

    I am completely fine with them being cosmetic only. They're not supposed to have any inherent 'use'. They're just collectible action figures.
    Plus, giving them a use of some kind, like some kind of passive augmentation that you suggest, just means that then everyone has to have one. And then it's another goofy thing taking up screen space.
    And then you have to worry about what action figures do what and to what kind of degree.... No, it's really just asking for trouble.
    I wouldn't mind if they were a bit more animated. Maybe they pose or dance or emote or something, if left idle for a second or two.
    But as far as providing in-game, tangible bonuses? Please, no.

    The one and only thing I could think of that they could do is collect orbs for you. So if you have one out and something drops a health or damage orb, the toy would run over and get it for you.

    Even then it would have to be a rather limited range, like say 10ft from your character and no farther.

    But nobody ever uses them...at least I don't see anyone. Do like the emotes idea too. Awesome orb idea also :D

    It's been said that dev's hate, don't like, any additional effect on powers (Power Replacer..). And it's been brought up with AF's before.
    More emotes for AF's would be awesome. Only couple of the actually do something. And Therakiel being the only one who actually has a voice and some oneliners.

    I'd rather they just give the action figures the ability to keep up with the player.

    Totally agreed

    They should have idle emotes, or if you stand close to someone else with a figure out, the toys should "pretend" to fight (possible with their skill animations)...They are action figures, we need to play with em.

    Hero action figures should fight villain action figures within a certain radius. Get enough together and you have a tiny toy brawl breaking out. Don't need to track damage or HP or defeat/wins or anything for them, I'm not advocating a pet battle system, basically just using the animations for cosmetic purposes to get the toys to do more.
