Holy Henchmen, FTC Goons
I see a Robin outfit on the Riddler Hanchwoman. Who's with me!
Some days you just can't get rid of a ... SHARK!
Re: Holy Henchmen, FTC Goons
Looks like FTC was planning on bringing back Action Jackson, judging by the Goon heads.
It's a shame the bodies on this whole line are so poorly made, if they could hold a pose without falling apart they would have been a lot more appealing to me.

Re: Holy Henchmen, FTC Goons
The Action Jackson heads killed it for me. At that price it'd be good to get head sculpts that look like they belong in the line. These just look cheap. AJ was fugly in the 70s.

Re: Holy Henchmen, FTC Goons
The Catwoman henchmen might be worth it for the wardrobe... if I could snag 'em on sale.
Re: Holy Henchmen, FTC Goons
yeah, I'm going to wait out FTC parting them out or selling just the suits

Re: Holy Henchmen, FTC Goons
I eventually caved and got the Penguin and Catwoman sets last week. It's hard to see in the packaging, but you also get three rubbery bowler hats and three leatherette cat hats. I will do some head-swapping, I think. Miss Natural Resources (Finella), in the Penguin set, has a very nice gold swimsuit and sash, hidden from view, and the fur coat is great, but I want to use the very nice blonde head for a different custom (Flamebird of "Titans West"). Miss Natural Resources has shorter hair in her episode. (Ditto, Miss Iceland, in the Mr Freeze set, has the wrong hairstyle.) Eenie's top is nice and I was thinking of putting her into Finella's gold boots, instead, and some gold tights. I had been planning to make an Eenie custom anyway.
I had already made a single River Rat custom, using a hoodie from another figure, and i made lots of Penguin G.O.O.N.s (using the four "Three Stooges", and a Lex Luthor for barefooted Octopus), so I tried to stay a little reserved and not be completist about the new Riddler, Joker and Freeze sets. The Joker's G.O.O.N.s are not exciting enough, even on TV, to custom (hence I made a custom Verdigris the Martian instead). I think I'd prefer Mr Glee to berets and vests. I actually had to look up Mousey and Queenie online to remember them and compare their costumes and hair. At first, my mind was confusing Miss Iceland with redheaded Glacier Glaze/Emma Strunk, and I was thinking of putting *her* into the fur coat.
A great idea, FTC, but I would have loved to see these sets earlier. Amazing to think they got done at all! Overall, I was excited.
If FTC is looking for another fun set, not necessarily exactly from the show, I'd love a set of arch villains in b/w prison stripes (such as worn by Ma Parker and Zelda - and everyone in that "Brave and the Bold" episode). That was a missed opportunity for the "Dr Cassandra" prison-break sequence.
Very surprised that Jockey Penguin never showed up. That would be magnificent.

Re: Holy Henchmen, FTC Goons
Wow! Personally I think that these don't look half bad! But I wish that FTC would make a second penguin set with the pirate goons from the movie, with Kitka as the moll!

Re: Holy Henchmen, FTC Goons
Currently on their website are alternate versions of these packs, replacing the moll with the villain then henchmen work for. Supposedly limited to 25 pieces each worldwide.

Re: Holy Henchmen, FTC Goons
Ha-- Action Jackson wasn't the best looking guy in the action figure world, but then again neither was GI Joe.
I think Captain Action got all the doll ladies.

Re: Holy Henchmen, FTC Goons
I like that red head Riddler Moll in a Robin outfit. She has a certain "GLOW" about her. What a way to GoGo
What color would you call that hair:
Light Red, Dark Red, Brunette, Dirty blonde?

Re: Holy Henchmen, FTC Goons
Shouldn't Miss Iceland be blonde? Seems like a silly thing to miss.

Re: Holy Henchmen, FTC Goons
Ian,
She looks great!
I got the costume for molly, but need custom gloves and boots as the set that came with the costume connects to nubs at the ends of the legs and arms. Otherwise she looks great.
