    as a kid I loved having villains for the heroes to fight. I don't understand why the villains are always left behind. Green Goblin was one of those figures I never had as a kid and always wanted and he was one of my holy grails.......now that I have him he is one of my favorite Mego's.
    I also always loved Joker and Riddler. they were great scults and costumes and people for Batman and robin to kick the crap out of.

      Can you imagine the meeting between Marty, Neil, and the designers
      looking over the artwork Marvel sent them?

      Marty: "Captain America is selling good. Why don't we make a
      Super Foe for him? Who's his biggest bad guy?"

      Neil: "That would be the Red Skull. Joey - did Marvel send us
      some art for him?"

      Joey: "Yeah Neil - it's right here. Basic green jumpsuit, black
      boots, and a big swastika on the chest."

      Marty: "A what? Are you kidding me? There is no way this
      company is making a freakin' nazi! Anybody else?"

      Joey: "Well, there's Batroc the Leaper. He's french and fights
      with his feet."

      Marty: "Oh well - I guess Cap will have to fight Dracula and
      the Mummy."
      I was going to say why not Baron Zemo but I'm sure a figure of a guy with a purple rag on his face would have met with the same results. Of course who knew in the early 80s Hasbro would give G.I. Joe a bad guy with a blue rag on his head. But that's neither here nor there.
