Sounds like there are other options though from Games Workshop.
Except now I see those are from 1987 and super expensive.

The “Micro Universe” range is also about the right size and contains a lot of iconic monsters. It’s kind of at a nice price point between the two.

I ran across some cheap facehuggers minis at Walmart yesterday. Made me wonder what a facehugger design could look like. Anybody have some neat ideas?

Yeah I've seen some write-ups for most of the Alien figures...I think LO is working with a former Hero on that if memory serves me...

Could also work potentially for Dream Crabs I think

I believe that was a streaky thing.

That's who I was thinking of...

Just to show that I'm taking the "Don't start a faction before you have experience" advice to heart...here's a faction leader...

The Chief

Spoiler Alert!

NAME = THE CHIEF
SECRET IDENTITY = NILES CAULDER
SPECIES = HUMAN
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = SCIENTIST
PERSONALITY = TROUBLED

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 4

LIFE = 4

MOVE = 4
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 2
DEFENSE = 3

POINTS = ???

PATROL LEADER
After revealing a numbered Order Marker on this card, instead of taking a turn with The Chief, you may take a turn with up to two different Troubled Unique Heroes you control or one Unique Hero you control. The Chief cannot be one of the Unique Heroes.

PATROL MANIPULATION
Immediantly after revealing a numbered Order Marker on this card, you may reveal an "X" Order Marker on the card of a Troubled Unique Hero you control. While there is a revealed “X” Order Marker that figure, it adds 1 to its attack and subtracts 1 from its defense. For the rest of the game The Chief's personality is Manipulative, regardless of what is listed on this card.

WHEELCHAIR ARSENAL SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 4. Attack 3.
Once per round, if The Chief did not move normally this turn,The Chief may use Wheelchair Arsenal Special Attack.
After The Chief attacks with this special attack, he may move up to 4 spaces. During this move, The Chief will not take leaving engagement attacks from the defending figure.

He should kind of feel like a dark Prof X, so that's what I went for. "Manipulation" represents him whispering in somebody's ear to get them all riled up. However, once he does that, the rest of the patrol sees his true colors and stop synergizing with him.

I just wanted to get this guy out there as the missing piece in the Doom Patrol puzzle. I'm really excited to see what Changeling looks like to see if the rest of the Patrol needs to be adjusted, so I'm waiting (im)patiently for that release.

For Patrol Leader if you put a certain clear sight space restriction on his control (which is what Prof. X. does and is probably a good check on the power) you don't have to mention that he can't be one of the heroes.

Do you feel a space restriction is absolutely needed? He’d probably be communicating through some sort of radio or device, so thematically it wouldn’t make sense. It’d be nice to avoid it if possible.
