    That would be Brig. Gordon.

    They could always do Kaleel, PantherMan, Satyr Buck, Brig. Gordon, Hugo - the android prison guard, the War Witch Zarina, Varek, Cmdr. Royko, Traybor, Saurian ....
    Of course, you would have to alter the uniform a bit.
    Bugler, sound the advance.

      I'm really curious about the female figure sculpt. What often puts me off, where female figures are concerned, is the "bare arm" look, which might be a problem in the case of Ardala. I really hope we'll eventually see a bare arm that doesn't look like a "robot arm" with many exposed joints. I actually like the male ZICA body sculpt in this regard, and Tiger Man looks great bare-armed. So I can't help wondering what's in store for the ladies.

        I just hope that the arms on the females don't look like puny little sticks.

        As per Buster Crabbe: I WANT ONE!

            Craig, are you planning to give the Wilma and Ardala heads rooted hair? On one hand, this would be real "retro style", on the other hand looking at other figures, it never turned out really authentic in the past. Take the Mego Uhura for example. The head doesn't even slightly resemble the actor and and the 9" Uhura head by Playmates wiith molden on hair is a much better likeness.

              Putting doll hair on these figures would be a mistake.

              Put me down as a vote for a basic variant of the Guard though. I don't need two Bucks.

                The generic head sculpt I'm having done for the female Z-Body will be a test of how well the factory can do with rooted hair. If they can pull it off, the plan is for Wilma and Ardala to have rooted hair.

                  Sometimes, sculpted hair doesn't convince, either.
                  I have female figures that look like they have a wet towel slapped over their heads.
                  Then again, my rooted hair bionic woman looks like she just put her finger in an electrical socket.
                  Very tricky to get right....

                  The hair, that is, not putting your finger in a socket....

                        Wave 2 is sounding good. Here's my wish list for future waves:

                        Buck (Rafael Argos disguise)
                        OD-X
                        Dr. Huer
                        Kaleel
                        Joella Cameron (Markie Post)
                        Pangor
                        Jen Burton (Jamie Lee Curtis)
                        Hieronymus Fox
                        Female Twiki (Booty Booty)
                        The Legion of Death (Kellogg, Quince, Sherese, Varek)

                            If it saves you money you could do Wilma and Ardala with sculpted hair in this series. Wilma had her hair up to wear the fighter helmet in the film. Ardala had to have her hair up to wear that horny head-dress also.

                              I like the idea of a rerelease of the Guard. Army building is big in the Action Figure hobby and I appreciate the extra work done for a favorite figure.

                              And you know collectors will buy it.

                                I don't know how I missed her being on the show, but she is awesome. She'd be good for an Electra Woman custom, too.
