poachers and cavemen would be my villainous sugestions. wth odd mixes of the
current rogues. but definitely as "force of nature" mini-fig enemies, (ala the
mummy and achoo), there should be cavemen, reminicent of islanders and indians.
the downside would be what we all know the caves would be made of... but the
shaggy hair piece would be fun, and the weapons would be great, dark grey stone
spears, axes, bones, and of course, clubs. and if we were really lucky, ... a
cavewoman!
