My primary crew is Collodi, and I'm looking for suggestions as to what I should add next. My current collection includes:
1 Collodi
4 marionettes
4 wicked dolls
2 stitched togethers
2 teddys (1.5 Collodi/weaver widow actually used both of them most games, so it's not as redundant as it might sound)
1 Weaver widow
1 arcane effigy
1 brutal effigy

I was wondering if anyone had experience running his new henchman, or any of the other effigies. The other effigies seemed to not pack the punch of burning/healing attacks, but I admit there could be something I missed.

I'm not a Collodi player myself, but the ones I have dealt with tend to like having a pair of Coryphee (which can't form the duet in a Colodi crew) and Vassilia (well, a proxy of some sort).

I have yet to run across Collodi, but that list of models look really nice for a Dreamer crew.

The thing that most of my Collodi crews run off of is that he has an upgrade that allows puppets to take 2 dmg to gain1 ap, and another that allows him to spread effects on him to his crew ( only the ones he wants) so all of the puppets throw out burning, have 3 ap, and heal on successful attacks, while being the cheapest significant models in the game. I feel like the coryphee are fairly expensive, though if people like them there must be a reason (probably quick scheme running). Hmm might have to look into that.

I have thought about building up a dreamer crew because of the shared model list, and it'll probably be the next crew I pick up

Coryphées dude. You may not be to actually find them, so proxy them out of regular mannequins or something else. But coryphées are devastating, and in this edition Collodi can take them. Coryphées.

Should I look into 2 of them or will one suffice? Also, what is it about them that makes them great?

Is it as scheme runners?

For a 50ss match, I'd be looking at (dependent on scheme and strategy obviously) something like:
Collodi 2 upgrades
4 marionettes
2 coryphee
Brutal
Arcane
Weaver with summoning upgrade.

They're boxed in pairs so that's likely how you'll get them, and they've got all sorts of high accuracy, speed, and defense, paired with decent damage

Not having the cards for the coryphee, quick question. Can they benefit from strum/fated, because those tend to be my go to upgrades
