I totally agree. And, hopefully, Hama has attained some semblance of self-forgiveness*. It was a different era, I'm sure he did the best he could with what (and who) he had to work with.
Oh, and Tess Trueheart (1990 "Dick Tracy" movie figures) is another really notable absence. Though Playmates did produce The Blank, and she's amazing (even if she more closely resembles
Harpo Marx
than Madonna**). Although, rather expensive/hard to find (since The Blank was apparently never released in the US).
