Looking forward to getting mine.

That's cool, I never realised how much stuff was included. That man's a genius.

I don't own Universe Blaster, but I'll be picking up the gun for my Device Label Blaster. He is in desperate need of some firepower.

I'm looking forward to the head/weapons and perhaps even powermaster that Venksta has lined up for Universe Darkwing. That's going to be awesome!

While I have no interest in this set as I LOATHE that mold, I will say that I have several other head sets from Venksta, and I am extremely happy with them.

Looks great.

Only hope that some day they do a G1 head set for ROTF Nightbeat and Generations Skullgrin.

While I appreciate the work put into this and the value of what you get, I still don't think this is better than device label Blaster. Universe Blaster goes from a horrible figure to a so-so figure. A definite improvement, but I disagree that Universe Blaster is escalated to a "holy crap" figure.

Looks wonderful. I can't wait for the RF Darkwind add-ons.

You're definitely entitled to your opinion, but DL Blaster feels like such a waste of money. If it were $10-$20, and had no USB circuitry, I'd like it much more. RF-003 is pricey, and ends up costing the same as DL when you include U Blaster, but it feels like there's more to it.

Sadly, I have to join in the negatory on this, as well. I love the work Venksta did (though the comic head still looks like Drix...) but Uni Blaster just has too much black on him. If they felt the red on the wings would have been too much, then they sgholda done more of the beige/eleohant grey. The black is just too much.

I got my set and there's a lot of value for what you get.

I purchased the IDW head and the rest of the kit.

The Action Master gun(s) are great and so is the backpack. I did sand the backpack peg down at Razorclaw's advisement.

Now, I did have issue with flash molding on all of the parts I got. Every one of them had to be cleaned and carved down. This is no problem for me. I know that goes with the territory. The gun handles were too big as well though and that was a bit strange. I had to carve them down a good deal to allow them to fit.

Universe Blaster got the little guns and I gave DL Blaster the larger rifle. He can't really support the weight of it though, so, everyone should be aware of that.

Good set and upgrade kit. It's worth the price, but be aware that you will likely have to do some work with it.
