I'm more of a fan of his, because of his integration with other figures, like serpentor, and the BATS...he's a nice conecting piece in the JOE lore.

I was never a fan of Mindbender until I started reading the comics a few years ago. While still not a "fan" I do have an appreciation for him and his role in the Cobra.
As far as getting him in figure form, the only way that would work is if he was in a comic pack with a more popular character or desirable troop builder. I could do without Crystal Ball unless they gave him a very updated look and also packaged him with a more popular character or army builder.

As far as I'm concerned, no evil organization is complete without a mad scientist and his whacked out inventions. There are just too many story possibilities available. The only thing he really lacked was a maniacal laugh, but he had a monacle and moustache to twirl, so he gets a pass there. |

Well, to be fair, its "one" version of Serpentor, and a couple of cheesy half-assed repaints.

They certainly should make a Mindbender. His exposure was way too high in the comics and cartoons for him not to be. (The pun about his costume was intended)
Once they make him they won't be able to resist doing multiple versions. So, fans of the calssic and fans of the lab coat should be happy. imho |

Always kinda thought Mad Scientist were like shrimpy weirdos, not Bulged out Monopoly guys. I think of mindbender kinda more like this guy, but bald, and moustached. |

I liked him as a kid - even with the ridiculous get up, and like him now, but do think he needs a wardrobe update. The whole evil dentist thing works on so many levels. You could use him to do a Marathon Man dio, a Monopoly Dio, a Clue Dio, or pretend he is Teddy Fucking Roosevelt! I tell you his potential is endless! Unlike that crap Trakker figure, anyway.

as a kid he was one of my favorites. I loved the toons and he was a huge part of season 2. I'm surprised he hasn't been made yet.
