YES! I CAN'T STAND HAVING SO MANY JOHNNY THUNDERS! I *wouldn't* mind if his
torso was a little more standard, since it could be used in a lot of places,
but he's got a pistol right there! And I don't want Castle peasants or Town
shoppers or whatever to be sporting pistols... just doesn't work.
As for the professor, I personally don't have TOO many yet, but he's still
annoying-- his face most of all. He looks continuously surprised!
As for the turban wearing peasants-- most definitely! They could use tan or
brown Ninja hats or the old pirate 'swabby' hat. If it weren't for needing
these, you could even make your own with the Qui-Gon Jinn/Young Obi-Wan
torso and some tan pants! Too bad they haven't done it though... As is the
existing characters are virtually exactly the same (give or take a backpack)
from set to set... it makes for a very boring theme.
