    66 Batman penguin goons on S-types

    Well, I managed to get these on S-types and of course what a world of difference. The set does come with 3 bowler hats.

    The pros- They look great on better bodies and after you fix them up a bit

    Cons- This set is over-priced and is a HUGE disappointment is you plan on staying with these FTC bodies.Floppiness all over with these.

    They gave the GOON shirt to that crappy skinny body, So if you plan on making your own GOON using the G.O.O.N shirt, you can pretty much forget it. Still working on it,but it doesn't look good. Haven't fixed the female Moll

    Edit- I managed to get the GOON shirt on- Yes! Now I need to order black pants to make this work- Thanks FTC, more money spent

      actually the heads don't look bad at all once the hats are on...the eye masks and hats cover up alot. Of course,you miss the point of the post and upgrade

          Thank you for sharing, looks good! I just want only one of each henchmen set, but FTC may not sell or part out that way,

            Hopefully in the near future you can get the clothes for the henchmen separately, then you can do one of each
            with your own head choices and bodies, but make sure masks and hats fit properly on the head you choose.

              The masks should fit on any head because of the elastic band. The bowler hats are a tight fit. Anything bigger than these heads likely will not fit. Will FTC sells these pieces separate?...maybe,maybe not.I will say if you plan on buying G.O.O.N shirts,it's not east getting the shirt on the regular bodies since this was sewn to fit the skinny body (which is awful). I wish FTC would stop using it.

                sure they do, AJ heads are a really poor choice and really don't fit in with the rest of the 66 line. I was wanting to see these out of the box. As far as the "upgrade" that doesn't interest me. The masks won't help with Joker's or Catwoman's henchmen. Also, the Penguin set is inaccurate. The henchmen that were in the episode with that moll were Shark, Octopus and Swordfish.

                  The Goons were generic "side actors" ...do the heads really matter that much when the heads and masks mostly cover their faces? They fit in just fine. Sounds to me you need something to complain about so you won't spend the money.

                  As far as accuracy, The henchman characters that hung around Penguin were indeed named Hawkeye and Sparrow, plus G.O.O.N (look it up).So it's not inaccurate. (The black gloves are inaccurate)

                  Out of the box,the figures are not good, but after putting them on the S-type, it changes the game as it always does.

                    Actually Hawkeye and Sparrow did wear gloves and masks, but the G.O.O.N.s did not wear masks or gloves. In fact, I think only In Penguin’s first 2 part episode did his henchmen ever wear masks.

                      I bought all the sets (minus Mr. Freeze) and I love them. I do hope at some point they add the parts on the site because I would love another GOON (even if on the skinny body) and then I would make up my own Mr. Freeze henchmen.

                        here read it yourself


                        Hawkeye and Sparrow were in a different episode.

                        I would spend the money if they were accurate, since they aren't 500 bucks saved.

                              I've been holding off on these thus far, and likely wouldn't switch bodies if I got them. Kind of defeats the idea of them having three different builds, but I know the thin body is sorta floppy, so I can see some folks not being crazy about that one. The AJ heads on all really do bring the sets down a lot; I likely wouldn't change bodies, but I'd be very tempted to change some heads.
