        There's something very warped and misplaced about making assassinated presidents into monsters. Don't agree with this one. The sculpt is good for a regular version though.

          Agreed....I'm surprised there isn't a removable section of the brain

            Umm, well, the clothes are really nice. That's Kennedy? Doesn't look like him or the Phantom of the Opera. Face looks more like an undead. I still wish you guys the best of luck with them even though they are not to my tastes. I do have to ask though, some of these could be considered maybe skirting the lines of good taste, any worries about complaints from the individuals, families or estates?
            You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

              I have to agree with everyone, I don't see connection between Phantom and Kennedy

                  Yeah, I must admit I don't see the appeal of any of these figures. Since the company is named Heroes In Action, why not make the presidents have Super Hero alter egos and package them with Super Hero costumes under their clothes instead? Maybe if they come with an extra non-monster heads in case customers want to change them into regular people they will catch on? Many of these have really drastic alterations to their faces to make them monsters.

                  If you could fill in some of Kennedy's crows feet at the edges of his eyes and repaint him nice you could get a nice regular custom out of him. Pose him with Cap. America or an Avengers or Invaders customs. I would buy him for that purpose. It's too bad you can't do that with the other presidents being released.

                    Non-monster versions do seem to be part of Heroes in Action's plan.

                          There will be regular, non-monster versions of all of the presidents.

                              Perhaps the connection is that even though nearly 50 years have passed, Kennedy's legacy is so strong he is still roaming the gallows of the WH. And honestly it was Kennedy's "organ playing" that led to the Civil Rights movement which in turn led to the electing of the first black president.
