Ok that was cool...but we still can't see Gristle.

It would be funny if they show the Gristle fig with a Beav head. I may even buy it.

Edit...I dig the fig....The Gristle fig is good...I just wish these were 25th style..i am spoiled now.

Hmm. Well thats not bad really, though not much of an improvement over the original. The best thing about this figure is that it suggest that hopefully the molds that ended up in south america may have been found!

Um, what's with his shadow? That's def not the shadow of the figure.

That's pretty cool looking. At first glance, I don't recognize the parts.

Yeah, but with the different paint up, they threw me off for a minute. Not a bad figure.

So does anyone think that's a BAT shadow he has?

Interesting that he is using Munitia's weapon. They did say that they would be released. Maybe that postponed wave might be available at the con? Even as loose exclusives they would be nice.

I like the logo as well but minor nitpick is that the Headhunters were their own group. Not a part of Cobra. They are kinda being retcon'd to fall under the Cobra umbrella.

Similar oddity that I noticed last year. Claymore had the Night Stalker Skull logo stamped on his arm even though he was not a part of their group and was in command of the Shock Vipers.

That possible BAT shadow is neat too.

I've been a longtime fan of the Gristle figure (and character) so this is a GREAT treat. The fact that they dug out the original Gristle tooling is fantastic (and makes me ecstatic to think that maybe some other supposedly lost molds might be uncovered).

I dig the colors even though they're not a lot different than the original dark red, but at least that yellow is out. Very, VERY cool looking figure. Love the logo, too.

As for the shadow, looks more like a vehicle than a figure to me....
