That Mindbender looks great! The detail of the name in the coat is fantastic! With the Nano BAT would have been a must-have!

Not a fan of Zap´s body but in a second sight you can watch it´s a pretty decent figure.

Budo´s amazing. Re-using old parts Hasbro got this character´s spirit. Hope the club releases it in the 2nd FSS with some updates.

Thanks for sharing, Gary!

I'd be happy if the Budo and Minbender were released in the 2nd FSS, with a few upgrades. I'd also like to see an updated Zap, but more needs to be done to his figure for me than just a head swap. I understand why Hasbro pushed them to the back-burner because I think all three would have warmed some pegs. Thanks for sharing these Gyre, they all tell a great story and are almost as cool as the production figures next to them

The gloves are a genius way of sneaking purple into the design. I have often been against the idea of putting Mindbender in the mad scientist lab coat because it makes him lose everything that makes him distinct from the other mad scientists.

I think it would be cool to see a newly sculpted torso, though, that does resemble the more standard coat that, for example, was on Neal Patrick Harris in Dr. Horrible or on Kiefer Sutherland in Dark City. Then they could add details like those gloves that give it character. Actually, Battle Corps Mindbender is wearing that kind of labcoat, but it has short sleeves and is yellow and purple. It would also be a good idea to do some forward planning to make Hotwire.

Anyway, not sure that Mindbender should now be made like this but I like the ways they gave it a bit of character. Budo on the other hand....I don't know how that isn't out already. It is awesome.

I love this Mindbender because I'm more easily able to fit him into my Joeverse. I've always hated the cape/no shirt look. The things that are important about Mindbender, to me, are still there.

Don't know why, but I love the Budo.
