That coat on Mindbender makes him look like he has no neck.

Zap and Budo would have been great additions.  I could less about another repainted Bat.

Mindbender doesn't look anything as in the movie. Not surprising  :)

Nano Bat would've seemed rather logical in the sequenece of releases since they had already released a Neo Viper with a neon plant before. But agreed, who needs a neon Bat, right? ( Right? ::) ) . Right  ;D

Zap and Budo look great but the color scheme and the pain apps on Budo look awkwardly bland (but that's also my impression of most of Modern Era Club figures)

Thanks for posting. 

Zap is actually a cool figure, though I'm a purist and he would not be my Zap.  But, I would change the head and put him in the collection for sure.

Budo is awful, awful.  It's not Budo, it is a lazy (and the Rock means lazy) kitbash of Storm Shadow and various ninja parts.  Really lazy kitbash.  I picked up the Krexx Budo sculpt on Angelforge and that looks great.  That's Budo!!

I want to like Mindbender, but the style and scale of the parts really clashes. I love the idea that he wears a monocle under his goggles, though. Zap is pretty straightforward, but he works for me. I think Budo is the most successful of the bunch. He takes a mix of colours from his v1 figure and Ninja Commando Flint.

Even still, I would say these are cancelled figures that aren't missed.
