Mars Toys - Bob the Goon

[darth dennis]

If Bob steps in front of Newmar Catwoman I'm going to have a serious issue...

Has anyone done a run of custom 1989 Joker goon jackets?

Nope. I tried my hand at a full custom figure years ago and I think I topped out at three. I could no longer find the bomber jacket to turn into a Goon version.

I always wanted that figure of yours, Coco.

I do hope Mars uses real hair on this one. Doubt it, but it would be better.

That hair really sells the figure and since his hat can be permanently attached it’s relatively easy to put some on the sculpt and glue the hat on over it.

Maybe they could do a two-pack: small goon + tall goon.

Include three heads for the small goon (Bob, smiling Bob, + Asian goon) and two for the tall goon (Lawrence + the dude Batman slams into the bell)?

The accessories could be pretty great. The silver candelabra, bucket of ice + champaign, maybe the Caesar bust that gets defaced, the painting Joker stops Bob from slashing, Lawrence’ boombox, etc. Throw in Joker’s flamethrower lighter + a flame effect.

That would be a dream come true.

lol , wow isn't this a fantasy?

I think he wears black leather biker gloves.

I think Lawrence has boots similar enough to pass without including an extra set.

To be honest, what would be genius if they just release the sculpts/clothing/accessories only and let the buyer just get a stock body and can make the squad however they want, that would be the way to present these guys. I hope y’all are listening Mars.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Fun to fantasize about but I really don't want a goon squad of six characters all dressed the same.

Just Bob would be more than enough to represent.


Again, though the '89 love is refreshing, let's move on to Penguin and Catwoman... and Max Shrek...

Or Carrey Riddler and TLJ Two-Face...

Or Freeze and Ivy...

I get the vibe at Mars might be the one company that gives us Clooney Batman figures.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I do love that Mars appears to listen to what buyers want.

 

[Mondragon]

This is one of those figures I am unreasonably excited for while simultaneously thinking I must be insane to even consider getting it.

Bob the Goon is Legend, he has so much presance even those who know it's unreasonable and insane, still want him.

Always ready, loyal & able...

Fearless

And not above taking one for the team...

Bob the Goon was legend!

You missed getting Bob by just a few months and only $12,500.00

Curious the HT prototype jacket seems a bright purple? Is that the correct color for the jacket?
Most the clips make it and the whole goon squad jackets seem darker?

Got to give it up for Bob the Goon, he sells that set...

 

[Stryker2011]

Tracey Walter is such an underrated character actor — the guy could play anything — that adding him to the collection is a no-brainer.

 

[Bgnyc007]

The love was always there for Bob back in the day I had this figure.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I still have it, somewhere.

Really excited for Bob and I’m hoping he comes with lots of accessories.

When they also do Lawrence (wink, wink), I’d love to see an accurate Crown boombox, Tommy gun, spray paint, and candelabra.

In the meantime, I guess I’ll continue working on my placeholder Lawrence until this is available.

 

[a-dev]

To be honest I don't have a huge amount of excitement for Bob but if he comes out well as the other 3 '89ers did I can see myself buying him.

This’ll never happen, but…

Lol, the Goon museum accessories pack?
I guess I never noticed till now what Bob was doing the whole time, while everyone else is busy destroying stuff, until the Francis Bacon painting (which should be included) he is stoped from destroying, Bob is just taking notes?

I guess for the article they are going to write?

Yup, definitely needs that painting. Updated.
