Hello guys, here are some of my IG commanders.

IG Ninja, Voltar and Dr. Mindbender (IG version). The modern figure has the arms changed and have twisting
wrist feature.

Here is also a "cyborg" that I made to my friend TG, to be the IG's leader.

There are some purple spots in Voltar and Mindbender, but in thi future I will paint it with the right color, normally black. Also, I like to inform that the Destro custo was made by ToneGuns, and is a Destro V2 body, except for the arms that came from a Destro V1. ;)

The Ninja looks like Snake Eyes. No getting around that with the head and torso combo.

I would also make that Mindbender a new character, maybe a Sgt. Major? He's flat out awesome, but the Mindbender head doesn't seem to suit the body at all.

Other than that... Damn, that is some good work, and works perfectly with the IG figures.

These are some great IG customs. Even though we've seen the Voltar in black about a million times, yours' colors look much more detailed and would look really great next to some Convention Iron Anvils.

Maybe if you put the Snake-eyes head on a v1 Iron Grenadier?

I agree with the head/torso combo it just looks like Snake-Eyes.

I like the Voltar, very crisp paint apps and design.

Dr. Mindbender needs something on his arms. The whiteness seems too much of a contrast with the black suit. I suggest some type of black arms. Maybe Mace?

Love the dio set up, and that's some great paint jobs. but I also reacted a bit on the snake eyes. you just can't hide the fact that it's him.

Thanks for the comments, guys!

About the Ninja, the idea was create a character to be Destro's personal bodyguard. So I figured that Dr. Mindbender could mint dominate Snake Eyes (that was previous captured by Destro forces). Anyway, if in the future I decide make him less Snake Eyes, I can change the head or both head and torso ;).

DarkJedi and raptor, my idea about Dr. Mindbender is that he joined the Destro forces to work with Destro and Voltar in the development of new improved warriors. So I just figured that body could be almost the same for both (and maybe also the same for new high commander characters). Therefore, I used the arms with big gloves in the hands, that guive to him a scientist look (despite the real needs of a protetive cloth ;-) ). I have the Mace arms, so I will look how works your suggestion. If works better I will change it! Thanks!

I think the ninja and Dr. Mindbender are great!!!
I too think Destro needs a ninja or bodyguard in his army.

I like them all,even the ninja.However I think the ninja might look more like a Cobra with a Slice V1 head.It might even fit right in without having to paint it.You could make him the main ninja's bodyguard.Just MHOP.

I don't have any trouble with the ninja head. What I do have a trouble with is ----

How the heck did you get your Destro's Dominator to do that with the Demon? I must learn this secret.

Also you have done a very excellent job taking time to recreated all these characters in similar colors. I think its pretty neat that not only have you incoperated production models (chameleon etc) into the fold but done some very excellent work to boot.

Its really too bad that Target has that blue strap though.

These are some great customs, I always liked Destro and his Iron Grenadieres. I made some IG leaders myself using the Guilotine head it came out pretty nice I think. You can check them out in the gallery if want a different take on IG Commanders. I think the single pack Alley viper works well for a Ninja head if your looking for another option. Great job though I like your collection.

It was revealed on the back of the box, so I guess you didn't get it boxed:

When I played with it, I rarely used that function though. Why would he land on the Demon? Much easier to land on the ground and get out. He'd also have a better overview flying in the air than attached on a Demon.

Thanks for the comments!

GI Joanne, I will consider the Slice V1 head for the ninja.

poisonbladed, Tim 121RVC aswered your question about the Destro's Dominator and Demon. Thanks Tim 121RVC! ;)
Also, I'm thinking to make a TARGAT with more like IG colors. Maybe a red helmet will be nice.

Oneforceleader, thanks for the suggestions, I will look at your job. ;)

These are all really nice. Replace the head on Snake-Eyes and they're all winners.

And I can't WAIT to see your TARGAT!
