In the peer review session one of my feedback forms has raised an issue that the other one hasn't. One says that 10 characters in a mix and match book isn't a substantial enough brief while the other doesn't mention anything about it. I had thought it was substantial as I've never designed villains before or attempted a mix and match book and I'd rather not give myself too much work to do as I don't have a lot of time to do it in and it'll take m a while to design each character. However I see his point that 10 may not be very many, even though I liked keeping it with the top tens I originally sourced them from, he's suggested printing little bio's or stories about the villains on the blank side (which I was hoping to keep blank to not overcomplicate) that can be mixed up as well as the characters. This would be good because it would add another layer to my work and make it a little more interactive and informative but it would also have some complications as I hadn't wanted to print double sided and each section won't be even as the head will need the least room and the legs will need the most. I had also planned on mixing up the characters from the start to show that they're meant to be played with. Although it could just be that I'm getting stressed about timing so I should investigate it anyway and then if I don't have time or it doesn't work out I can drop it further down the line.
This is the diagram of his proposed idea that he very helpfully drew for me on the back of my feedback form
