The 4 Epic H.A.C.K.S. Core Wave 1 Figures — Ranked By Awesomeness

Boss Fight Studio’s 1/12 scale Epic H.A.C.K.S. line isn't just selling action figures—they're handing collectors a toolkit. With 30+ points of articulation, cross-figure modularity, and staggering accessory counts, Core Wave 1 sets a high bar for 6-inch sci-fi and fantasy figures. But which release gives you the most bang for your $39.99?

Here is how all four releases stack up from great to undisputed goat.

#4: Amazon Warrior — Pride of Ares

The Amazon Warrior takes the bottom spot on our list, but don't let that fool you—this is a masterclass in modern toy engineering. Where many manufacturers struggle to deliver slender female figures without sacrificing joint integrity or articulation range, Boss Fight Studio nailed it.

What Makes Her Worth Adding to Your Ranks

• Flawless Articulation: Keeps over 30 points of articulation intact, complete with deep rocker ankles that keep her stable in aggressive combat poses on or off the included stand.

• Striking Shelf Presence: The detailed bronze-gold armor pops against her skin tone, with darker trim on the weapon handles and subtle wear detailing that suggests real field experience.

• Loaded Arsenal: Comes packed with a spear, sword, bow with quiver and three arrows, a sculpted shield with gold trim, and a removable Spartan helmet with a distinctive tail design.

• Troop Builder Friendly: The inclusion of an alternate un-helmeted troop head and three sets of interchangeable hands allows you to pair archers with front-line sword-and-shield guards without your display looking like a sea of clones.

#3: Delger Bat — Beast Tamer Warlord

Delger Bat claims the #3 spot by combining brutal fantasy barbarian aesthetics with pure army-building math. Designed to project power through raw force and beast mastery, this warlord gives collectors unmatched setup hierarchy right out of the box.

What Makes Him a Force Multiplier

• The Math of Army Building: Armed with three distinct heads—the primary Warlord, an alternate General, and a gold-masked soldier—purchasing five Delger Bat figures unlocks 15 unique character combinations before you even touch his weapon loadouts.

• Modular Barbarian Gear: Includes a barbarian helmet, separate hair piece for helmetless displays, a decorative shield, a knife with a sheath, and a primary combat saber with its own dedicated sheath.

• Built to Swap: His heavy barbarian armor plates snap on and off cleanly without leaving stress marks. Swap his ancient weaponry with futuristic sci-fi gear from other figures to create time-displaced warlords.

• Dominating Silhouette: The contrast of metallic gold masks against rugged armor catches shelf light beautifully, giving his gold-masked legion an imposing, cohesive look when ranked up in formation.

#2: Roxy London — Freelance Peacekeeper

Taking the silver medal is Roxy London, a figure that captures classic pulp-adventure nostalgia while delivering legitimate dual-character functionality. Sourcing custom gear across the galaxy to hunt space pirate clans, Roxy serves as both a hero lead and a generic troop platform.

What Makes Her a Double Threat

• Instant Character Conversion: Swapping her primary human head for the alternate robotic sculpt instantly transforms Roxy from a lone freelance hero into one of her own mechanical helpers—making her the ideal base for building a purple robot assistant army.

• True Aerial Mobility: Features a functional jetpack paired with a stable figure stand, allowing you to pull off authentic zero-gravity pursuit poses that most 6-inch figures can't handle without third-party rigs.

• Deep Space Loadout: Equipped with a space helmet, a planetary rebreather, a blaster pistol, a combat knife, and a tactical belt featuring integrated holsters and sheaths that hold her entire kit during non-combat stances.

• Cross-Genre Potential: Her jetpack, rebreather, and space helmet cross-fit seamlessly onto ancient warriors and barbarians in the Epic H.A.C.K.S. universe for cosmic time-travel scenarios.

#1: The Dark Hand — Space Pirate Clan

Claiming the crown as the absolute best figure of Core Wave 1, The Dark Hand Space Pirate Clan figure is an unmatched showcase of modular versatility. Built around a narrative of extreme genetic modification and technological augmentation, this figure delivers more distinct display configurations per dollar than any rival release.

Why It Takes Gold

• Unrivaled Customization Kit: Features three distinct head sculpts—a standard humanoid pirate, a cybernetic head, and a mutated alien form—alongside swap-out digitigrade lower legs for non-humanoid builds.

• Nine Pirates from Three Figures: Buying just three Dark Hand figures allows you to mix and match heads, human vs. digitigrade legs, and gear to create nine entirely unique pirate raiders with zero visual overlap.

• Heavy Armaments: Comes stocked for galaxy-spanning terror with a laser cutlass, twin blaster pistols, a disintegrator rifle, a spiked close-quarters knife, a dual-holster belt, a tactical bandolier, and an environmental rebreather.

• The Ultimate Antagonist: Delivers dynamic villain representation that directly complements the rest of the wave, serving as the ultimate faction anchor for your space faring and time-traveling heroes.

The Final Verdict

Boss Fight Studio delivered a flawless opening volley with Core Wave 1. If you are looking for rank-and-file fantasy troops, the Amazon Warrior and Delger Bat offer incredible structural stability and troop math. If you want pulp-sci-fi flair, Roxy London gives you two characters in one box. But if you want the absolute pinnacle of what the modular 1/12 Epic H.A.C.K.S. system can achieve, The Dark Hand is an essential pickup.
