I think that's been cleared up a few times - pure 200X heads that are totally different looking = No. 200X elements = yes.

[TJRules]

to my surprise i was going to pick up a second to open, but the total gray on the wings looks awful. if the leading edge was brown and then fades to gray, i could have handled it, but not like how it is now.

Buy two and paint one. That's what I tell everyone who doesn't like the colors of their figs. That's what I'm going to do. Take my own advice.

[King Tamusk]

I did a quick mock-up with Brown wings, similar to the color scheme of the cartoon...What do you think?

[Gragar]

Just brilliant, Tamusk! Yeahhhh! That's what we want!

[fireball13z]

The photoshop pics looks great, but Im in the white wing group. I like the way it looks

[TJRules]

I like that look, Tamusk! Good job! That looks better than solid gray OR solid brown. Yours at least looks decent. VERY nice!

[bnlvince]

I was just looking at the pictures of the oversized griffen figure and is it just me, or does he look like he has flocking. I don't know if this was confirmed anywhere else , I haven't heard anything about it.

[scott metzger]

I doubt it; after all the debate over Panthor and the problems with Moss Man, I think Mattel is done with flocking for the foreseeable future.

[fireball13z]

I would hope not!

[Tzadkiel]

Flocking sounds like a dirty word, but it's not.

[snakeeyes0217]

I would hope not!

I second that. I think it's just really fine detailed sculpting.

[SCB]

He does not.

[Zodach]

I'm really hoping we see the Griffin on display at Toy Fair with the painted wings. It should look so much better in my opinion.

eh I could go either way. I saw him in person at Power-Con and I LOVED the white wings, but I guess Im in the smaller camp on that

[chuc98]

The white wings were good for me too…it'd be nice that with the color change coming that they leave SOME white there. It added some variation to the color scheme.

I liked the white wings fine too, but if it looks more like King Tamusk's mock up there, I'd be happy with that as well.

This version all the way, which is most likely the version we're getting.

[Lipster]

I will buy 3 or 4 depending if we can add items to our sub order for combined shipping.

[TJRules]

So glad they changed the wings on the Griffin! He's 100% better, imo. Very excited to get him:

[XelaStratos]

The new wings make this the perfect griffin in my opinion. I have two ordered in the subs and may add two more.

[Zodach]

Yep, the additional paint app detail on the wings was definitely needed and I'm very glad to see Mattel and the Four Horsemen taking fan requests into consideration for changes such as this.

[Prahvus]

Is it just me, or did they change the Griffin's front paws ? I cannot see it properly on that NYTF picture...

[Morningstar]

They are changing the front feet also , as seen in the picture of the toyfair.

I'm sorry, but in the picture above taken at NYTF, I cannot see any feet/Paws/talons at all ! Is there a better NYTF pic of the Griffin ?

[wayneepoo]

I was happy with the wing color before, but I have to say the new color scheme is awesome! Love it!
