Are these a good idea in general, or best used sparingly?

If you are building an orc army, I would say - stock up.

I figure that you can accept these heads as just one more special piece like
beards and hairdos, or worry about the juniorization and spudification of
minifig heads.

I wouldn't worry about it too much - I think that we already saw noses with the
native american figures, so I doubt they will have them sticking out anytime
soon.

I wonder, will Lego confine these special heads to extra-human species like
giant bunnies, lycanthropes, droids and other golems, yodi,  Gungans and
goblins?

That would be my guess.

Will they cross the line and put a real protruding nose where an ordinary
painted yellow head would do?

Let's hope not :)

  Re: What do you think of Goblin heads?
 
(...) I was just looking at Jon Furman's rendition of Tolkienish "goblins" (with the goblin heads) and "orcs" (with mummy heads and mostly wolfpack hoods). In general, I don't like the one-piece heads because they defeat the very strength of Lego: (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jan-02, to lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.general)
