I'm going to start the review, saying this. The Exo-Force villains' mechs are Way Better than the heroes' mech. Just look at it. That menacing design, the nice color combination, is that a claw arm? Wow.
Pros:
It isn't really made of iron, but it's still a condor and it seemed to have replaced one of its talons with a missile launcher. It has a nice poseable set of wings too. The claw arm? Awesome. It's actually fangs inserted into an iron drone arm's claw sockets. The mech also has a lot of non-firing guns, along with the far-firing missile launcher on its right arm. The legs and feet are another cool thing, notice the rocket boosters under the knees. The feet are another awesome feature, u can bend them up or down, and they can even be rotated. So if you wanted to pose it in anyway, the feet will suit just about any position that'll make you happy. And probably the best feature that surprised me the most, was the waist. I'm not sure how, the waist is tight and you can turn it 360 degrees without worrying about it getting loose. Honestly I'm not sure if it'll last long but I have never turned it that much.
Cons:
The Elbow section makes arm-poseability a little limited and the arms are sometimes something I dread for being short. So if you tried to put the arms down, it'll look like you spilled water on it and it's about to say "ugh". The other cons are the upward-triangle blocks that are placed on the sides of the Iron Drone pilot. They tend to fall off easily since they aren't specially fastened by some cool building technique. And for some reason, only the one on the right is a shoulder-cannon while the other is just that place for a license plate. It can be fixed but you know...
And the claw arm could've used another finger, and some longer fangs. But it still looks great.
Overall:
Despite it's shortcomings, this is set screams "awesome" with its appealing design and great poseability. Something you definitely don't want to miss.
