I love that Diamond are leaning into their Kato range but we seriously need The Green Hornet to accompany these new busts and figures! Fingers crossed!

Yeah, as a character, whether on radio, the comics or the Dozier series, Kato loses a part of his identity without the reason (the lead character) he's in the "business" at all. Further, if these are not prototypes, but images of the actual figure, its not impressive. As i've mentioned time and again, I wuld rather see a Hot Toys version of the two, with the expectation that they would make a better version of Kato than Enterbay.

Imma guess they're just doing Kato-- since they never did a GH Bust to match the Kate one, correct? It puts someone interested in a pair in a tough spot;

1- Buy Kato with the hopes of a GH release down the road, when that doesn't happen now you can have a figure you don't really want.
2- Hold off and see if they announce a Green Hornet to go with it, then chase the secondary market for a Kato figure to go with them.

I guess we're lucky Tonto was never played by Yul Brenner or we'd have the same trouble with LR merchandise.

A pass for me, but if they'd done GH too I would have bought both of them, and the busts too.

I'm on the fence about this. If they make a Van Williams Green Hornet that I'm in and I'll buy Kato.
