With the new album out and fond memories of the show on Saturday mornings and after school, I've been considering a set of FTC Monkees figures.
The problem for me has been, which ones to get?
As much as I like all the variations, I don't have the budget or space for them all. Monkee Men were always favorites when they appeared on the show, but the red shirt "band uniform" look just screams "Monkees" to me.
Puttin' some thought to it, I think I've hit on a combo solution that covers the FTC variants in a nice set that would represent the show as I remember it:
Davy - Red tux version (since he was dressed up for the ladies and his red coat made him stand out from the rest of the guys when in a tux)
Peter - Red band shirt version (because FTC took the time to catch the detail of his belt being rotated so his buckle's over his hip)
Mike - Also red band shirt version (it just seems more Mike than the tux or Monkee Men costume)
Mickey -- Monkee Men costume ('cuz he was always the silly one on the show)
Any thoughts on that as an assortment? Suggestions?
