The Toymaker was already a memorable villain for hardcore fans like me, but putting him back in the mainstream was awesome. I was concerned about Neil's take being too different to Gough's original, and while it was, he definitely made it his own in a way that fits perfectly. Nostalgia tells me that Gough is still my favorite, but Neil's Toymaker is sure giving him a run for his money.
