Heads that are way too specific are good for me, so long as I don't have
multiples of them. eg Storms' faces (both Princess *and* Gail :)

That's not what I meant. I like clones too - to a certain degree. I wish TLC
would make "clone" soldiers that each had a *different* face... or at least
some had different faces. Like in the FK for example.

Well... there are quite a few different ones. Like the baggie torso, the armor
torso, and then the whole dark forest line had other torsos.
And, IMO, having color differences is MUCH better than just clones. Gives a
bit variety, etc.
