    I was excited about the idea of these, until I saw that none of them come with proper hats or headgear (bowler hats for the G.O.O.N.S.--which FTC already makes-- or 'Mousketeer'-styled hats for Catwoman's henchmen, for instance), and the heads are all inappropriately 70's-looking, in-stock head sculpts. I didn't have high hopes, but I figured they'd at least be screen-accurate. Might be better off waiting until they part out the uniforms, throwing them on some of the Three Stooges or Monkees, and cobbling together something a little closer to what we'd see on screen.

      I hear you on the heads, but look closer, the hats are there in the packages.

        They cheaped out by using the bugly Action Jackson heads. There are so many other heads that they could have used!

        Although the IG heads seem to have had that horrid eye color problem corrected.

          Oop! You're right, thunderbolt! Okay, that makes me feel better about them. Thanks for pointing that out.

            Wow! I am really surprised how quickly these arrived, I thought there would be a long wait like for the Catwomen. The costumes are great, but I just cannot afford or really have the room to display all these sets. I would like to initially get one Catwoman and Joker henchmen.

              hey said the "proper" hats...they do come with hats,the question is are they the right ones?

                the only ones they'd have to make from scratch are Catwoman's so more than likely.

                  I'm assuming the Joker's men are making due with berets? Because FTC hasn't produced ivy league caps that I know of.

                    I figured it was the stooges golf hats minus the pom pom? And I see the variant Egghead has something that would work

                      I'm looking at the female Catwoman henchmen and am seeing Giganta minus the red hair more a Catwoman henchperson

                        Still concerned.I bought the penguins Goons set and I can't tell if the hats are bowler hats or dress hats....Wish FTC would take better pictures.It's not that hard to do.

                          Yes exactly, it's a beret, which is their golf tam-o-shanter without the pom. They used it on Sandwich Eggy, too--incorrectly. It's also, in black, used properly in the Mad Hatter's Octave Marbot disguise.

                          I'm surprised FTC hasn't swiped and recast the 1/8 Sideshow Werewolf of London cap. That would work and be useful for other customs.

                            I really thought that Pussycat was going to be a part of the Catwoman set and I'm a little bummed out that she's not.

                              look like bowlers to me.
