I love Hoppy. In my opinion, William Boyd was a genius businessman. The merchandising of the Hoppy image was brilliant. My favorite Hoppy piece of memorabilia was the Hopalong Cassidy pillow (silk-like) http://www.tvtoymemories.com/Hopalong_Cassidy_Pillow.html
He made well over a million dollars a year, with the merchandising rights from the Hoppy items.

P.S. I can’t believe there are more people interested in Hancock than this.

I’m really looking forward to this.

While it could be interesting to see them return Bill Cassidy to his galoot roots, it won’t exactly be original or new.

Every action hero of the last two decades seems to have been a rough talking, attitude plus anti-hero.

I’m just bored with anti-heroes.

I’d really love to see Cassidy done as a clean cut, humble, William Boyd-esque kind of guy who kicks the crap out of a tought talking, dirty, no good varmints.

I’d like to see a squeeky clean guy beat up the badass for a change.
