Good crisp colors. I really like the uniform look. Alexander is by far the best. Those must have been a bear to get right.

Very, very nice. These guys look like they could have come out of a Hasbro TRU Iron Grenadier 6-pack.

Alexander's helmet is especially well done I think.

Yah, very nice crisp paintwork. Well done. The Nully looks like he's wearing a dress uniform and not a duty uniform, tho.

Very nice. I love every one of them, but that's an especially sweet idea for Nullifier. It's cool to see him as a separate character as opposed to a faceless troop. Nice work.

Very nice crop!

Destro - I love that helmet/head you chose for Destro! It looks evil as hell, without over exaggerating the 'mad face'. The red eyes were a nice touch too. What head is that? The down side on your Destro is the chest........Sorry bro, it's been done teh death. Did you use that torso for uniformity among the new sculpt IG's? Just nit-picking.....lol

Metal Head - Solid! That head selection is perfect! Also, it's cool how you painted the sides of the torso to match the grenadiers torso scheme. A very impressive figure. I'm diggin' the originality on the torso selection. Haven't seen that one before! Well done!

Nullifier - This figure would have been a home run, with a different torso. it just doesn't make sense for the character.....But, the rest of the body construction......WOW!
............ya know what......I took a second look at it, and I gotta appreciate the different approach you took on the character. It appears to me that you were straying away from the armoured look.....? I dunno, maybe you could have sanded off the hack saw thingy, and the knife, salvaging that torso for your professional approach....? (I'm gonna try that!)

Thank you as well. I'm glad you dig the helmet.

Thanks, I'm not seeing the dress uniform unless its the armguards, but I think all IGs look a little bit regal.

Thanks! Nullifier as an individual is just part of my plan to boost the ranks of the IGs. Ferret, Targat, and Undertow coming soon.

Thank you.

Alexander--Yes that torso has been done to death but I really couldn't come up with a better alternative and it does help that he's consistent with the IGs on the battlefield. And the head is Crystal Ball with a lot of modding done. I thought the angry looking mask set Alexander away from his father just a bit and it would work better as a battle mask. The masks don't move like they do in the comics and cartoons so the helmet is sculpted for the wearer according to his tastes.

Metalhead--Thank you

Nullifier--I thought that torso looks great as a flight suit. I would have like to do away with the saw butI didn't want to take the chance of hacking up my last Hacker torso, so I just explained it by saying they are weapons he needs if he ever needed to extract himself from wreckage or enemy territory. And I did move away from an overly armored look since that extra bulk would get in the way in a cramped cockpit.

Yeah, I like metal head.

I might have to steal some aspects of that, :)

Anytime you make a figure with a removable mask or helmet, you have a winner in my book! Great work :-D (and this is coming from someone who isn't a fan of new sculpts)
