Those IGs are a real disappointment, absolutely hate the color schemes.  Definitely tempers my enthusiasm for the set somewhat but hopefully the remaining figures are better.

And the third one is up:



Meh. The 2nd was the best IMO.

At least the body is suppose to be new.

This guys weapon is awful and the colours all look too bright.

[NeoDragonKnight]

hmm if they are going to make their coats non black they really need to make the helmet nonblack...

At first I thought the opposite, that the yellow mask was the mistake and the whole helmet should have been black. But you're right, neck down nothing else is black. I think the red's a nice shade that looks so bright because of the light colours around it.

[NeoDragonKnight]

ya, if they had changed the grey hilights to black i think it would have worked out much better.

looks like a duck head.

did you hit the right vowel on your keyboard?

[morgardee]

Why didn't they name them differently from each other? We got three different Iron Grenadiers and they all have the same name. The first guy should be something like "Arctic Iron Grenadier", 2nd should be "Heavy Gunner Iron Grenadier" and the third should be "Destro's Elite Iron Grenadier" or something (anything) that separates them. I wonder what the files cards look like on these guys.

[NeoDragonKnight]

Correct me if I am wrong.  I think the desert set was the same way, Id have to check when I get home.  The Chem-warrior and Flamethrower were both called "Troopers" and then in the file card their speciality would be Flamethrower infantry, biohazard specialist or something like that, so Id imagine these IGs would be similar. 

[Sundance]

the threads on Serpentor's Lair say they're called "Iron Grenadier", "Elite Iron Grenadier" and "Iron Grenadier Heavy Weapons Specialist", which i think they got from the CC site. i'd imagine the stands all say 'iron grenadier' because it's cheaper to make (say) 2000 stands with that on than to flatulate about making 500 with one thing on, 500 with another thing on and 1000 with something else.

This is better:



Just a reminder, here's the original:

[Scramble]

Who knew Accelerator Suit parts could be used so well?

I like this figure, I think the vintage homage was the better way to go than an update. I think the colours of the IGs in the set were an even bigger mistake, though. A general in purple and gold leading men in grey and red?
