Dr Mindbender- what is your opinion.

I feel Dr. Mindbender is a key part of the Cobra hierarchy yet he is the only Cobra leader not already made or confirmed to be made. From reading over the boards i don't find anyone discussing wanting to get a dr. mindbender figure. So i wonder if most of you find him as important as me. I think he is equally as important as major bludd or zartan or destro, especially since they made serpentor.

I think they have to make him, he was pretty predominant in the comics and the cartoon, and I am confident they will.

I think that a lot of folks want a 25th Dr Mindbender. I personally wouldn't mind having him standing next to Serpentor. His personality was a little too much to handle at times in the cartoon, but from what little I remember of him in the comics, he was certainly better.

I'd buy one up in a heartbeat (though I'd prefer him to be the classic '86 version). I never had him as a kid and he's definitely interesting enough to make a great figure. A comic pack of him and classic Seprentor would be awesome.

There are definitly enough existing parts to do him with very little trouble. they really would just have to make a head mold and mabee new web gear. I loved him in the comics. Especially toward the end of the marvel run when the commander killed him in the freighter but he left the commander instructions on how to revive him. Later the commander had his body percilating in what looked like a bacta tank in the basement of Destro's castle and then he brought him back to life. Way awesome. I remember during the joe/transformers g2 crossover he was soaking in a bathtub of ice when he had to wrap a towl around himself to battle scarlett. I guess the ice tub was part of his recovery process. Does anyone else remember that particular story arc?

Wasn't that a Mindbender clone in the Joe/TF crossovers?

Definitely need a Mindbender. I'd prefer the DDP version, but I'll take whichever. I'm certain he'll pop up in this line somewhere.

I think it was a clone as the original died in the freighter. I wonder how they infused all the memories into the clone. Then later in the DD run when mindbender was working for the coil i wonder if it was the same clone or if they cloned him again. By the way i think that the whole mindbender serpentor and overlord running the Coil organization was about the sweetest thing DD did with the comics
