Destro needs a set of bee wings lol.

IG is decent. Hard to upgrade the original mold. So the Night Viper body will do.

And thanks Hasbro for not releasing a Night Viper figure when you had the chance from 1997 to 2005. :roll: Idiots.  I am so glad mastercollector is involved to bring back old moulds that Hasbro seemed to ignore.

2 pics in one week? That only leaves 1 more figure coming. As for the molds, it looks like the Destro rumor was true.  :(  Not a fan of that idea at all. The I.G. might grow on me, but right now I'm not that excited and I'm usually very optimistic about the convention sets.

Well, at least there is one more figure to wow me.  :)

Waist-up I really dig the IG. But the way the colour is thrown about on the legs is offensive.

And Destro is a massive disappointment. But there's only one per set.

I like the figures but what's with the stupid grey boots, just make them black. And the gold should be gold NOT YELLOW

I LOVE the IG.  Absolutely love it.  That's every bit as cool an IG as I'd been hoping for, and best of all he has the original head, the one thing I really hoping for in this set!  Friggin' sweet use of the Night Viper mold, I'm dying to get those figures in-hand.  It rocks that they still have the mold for his pistol too!

Destro SUCKS.  The chrome head is awesome, but the mold of it still sucks and even chrome can't save it.  And the CGI body is cool for them but it's as lame for Destro as I feared it'd be and the same colors that work so well for IG, IA, and Metalhead just do not work on Destro.  

At least he comes with CGI's canon things.  They'll go perfectly in Metalhead's hands!

The official MC photo of the IG is now up. Shows the back of the figure as well. Nice to see the back pack included. Too bad J&R customs is gone. Think of all the funskool IG that could have been made using the Night Viper's body.
