That said, much of my consternation and chagrin related to the absence of the Goons revolved around how easy it would be to sculpt a new head, throw it on whatever body, and send it to mass retail. Now that they've pretty much exactly executed what I'd imagined as a reasonable fix with it also being easily deliverable to fans, I'm more than willing to put my more persnickety wants to the side.

The consolation that makes me quite ok with army-building this somewhat dialed-in effort (outside of my initial and considerable desire to army-build whatever iteration materialized from the initial Toy Biz tease) is that Hasbro's created a concession for collectors in that army builders are generally 15 bucks on Pulse. At least Hasbro feels these figs shouldn't retail at full price...actually, 16 pounds is roughly 20 dollars, so maybe I should wait before speculating. Hopefully, these will be priced in a similar fashion to the Hydra and Aim goons.




Please, if you can, remind me what was rumored as being a part of that speculative wave. Was there any projection as to what a Howard wave might include? Red Sonja??? This is a thing that, were it to happen, would make me a very, very happy camper indeed.



Just to piss you and everyone else off. Hasbro has a much more profound sense of humor than you've given them credit for...

Now cut that out! Using them fancy ten dollar words, you're makin' us all look like schmucks!
