That's a nice job at paint matching there.
Can't wait to get mine.

The colors look spot on. The more I see their versions the less I like the original, but then again I love his IDW incarnation.

Never thought I'd be all over an upgrade before even laying my hands on the figure it's intended for but I have GOT to have this!

I am really enjoying the rush of 3rd party choices over the past few years. This piece is no exception.

Well, it look sgood, and at a nice $12 with free shipping, I guess this is going to be my first purchase from iGear. Pre-ordered.

:/
Still torn on this one...Don't get me wrong, the sculpt is fantastic! And the price is perfectly reasonable for a 3rd Party product...I really WANT it...
But...
As I've said in the past, iGear hasn't always been known for producing particularly high-quality stuff...Granted the only thing I own from them is Autoscout (which was their first release) but I'm pretty much afraid to TOUCH that thing because it feels like it will break if I breath on it too hard...I don't know if the quality of their plastic has improved since then...
My other big concern is colour-matching...FansProject are usually pretty good at getting their add-on pieces to match in colour but other groups have not always been as successful...An honestly, looking at these final-product images, it doesn't REALLY look to me like the colours match all that closely...They seem off to me...
I really really do like this head and I want it but I'm going to have to wait for some reviews and some better pictures...

Pity you can't attach these heads to G1/Reissue Kup.
