I think the only deference is the package. they will do green and red instead of just black ? I can't see anything new from the pictures in Fewture website.

im glad im not a fan of ths character...wow. i can see why the reviewer is disappointed.
on the plus side, the proportion and the head sculpt looks faithful. which is huge. im not a box collector and not a fan of ton of accessory so those things wouldnt bother me too much
But i do see where HLPro can improve. Like that unsightly gap pn his head, being more faithful screen accurate details, and avoiding PVC if at all possible. They def could of used ABS on the gauntlets... that neck gaurd piece looks horrible. and lastly, should have used better glue on the shoulder pads..
Hot Toys the reviwer mentioned is completely on a whole another level. Like night and day would be an understatement i think.

@gren Dammage 7 i posted this same video a while ago bro lol, honestly don't understand some collectors couple of years ago they were crying for izenbo figure and when they have it they talk in a negative way about it i know the figure isn't %100 perfect but its still an amazing figure to own even with the tiny problems i couldn't ask for more for me this character is a dream come true

that review sounded like a whine fest to be honest.

I watched that review while ago. but tbh I love my Izenborg. Man, you can get a nice pose of him for pictures or display if you play a little bit and fix the cloth, belt & mask S_Golkin's pictures are really nice for example. I know I said that before this is nothing like Hottoys especially with this price tag.. BUT this is one of a kind action figure and not another Hottoys Christian Bale Batman or Robert Downey, Jr. Iron Man

this is a real nice treat for the fans.
Having said that, HLPro def could have done it the justice it deserves. Fans deserve it. Let me b clear, i do not own this figure, I'm just going by reviews by others. But i do believe what i see.
So im just saying when i say, there are so many new up and coming companies from China is doing some incredible 1/6 figures for similar price point.... Theres absolutely no excuse for some of the shortcoming on this figure. OK, forget the gold standard Hot Toys, compare it to any HK companies doing 1/6 figures. and compare the quailty between the two..... Don't let up the pressure. Its not doing anyone any good. Not the company nor us consumers....one of the way they get better is a brutal and honest constructive criticism. i love HLPro GinGin so i know what its capable of. Fyi, i been extremely harsh on Bandai, Sentinel, and TakaraTommy which i love to pieces...
Do not let any company get off easy. Not HLPro not Bandai.... give em hell, it does plant a seed to do better next time around.

actually the figure worth about $180 and the extra $30 is for EMS shipping and you pay that money because no one else will make Izenbo for us, not the way we like it so far some members own it and love it, some even have both versions im with you they could be alot better with the figure but it have some decent feature too and its much more than the negatives in my opinion, also the negatives are not a deal breaker for me i think the best price for it could be $160 shipped couple a day ago a family member went to my room and when he saw it he went insane, asking me where did you get it from so i dont see it as a bad purchase at all

I do not know this for a fact, but I think that many of the little things you find on a figure like this one are "hand finished". There is always a chance of some Chinese girl working in a factory gets tired and makes a cut wrong on a piece of plastic or does not add enough glue to something and the mistake makes it past final inspection.. IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH A HLPRO FIGURE, contact HLPRO! They are known for good customer service and I am sure they will be willing to help you.
as one member mentioned in another thread about Gattiger, they are the kind of company that will even make spare parts so if you break something they have spares... this is a sign that they are trying to make everyone happy with their purchase.

My experience is with regards to another HL-Pro figure (the limited edition GinGin and not Izenborg) but, I completely testify to what Gettershadow is saying regarding HL-Pro's first rate customer service. I had some difficulty with a broken ball joint connecting GinGin's head to his neck. I emailed HLPro to ask if they could help and received a a prompt response and very courteous apology for my difficulty. Most importantly, HL-Pro were kind enough to replace the entire top half of the figure. I'd only expected to receive a new head and neck which I'd then swap in with a screw driver but they actually sent me a practically whole new assembly. Their communication was awesome and they shipped my replacement without any argument and did so really quickly. I don't really hold them accountable for the figure's head breaking - sh;t happens, so to speak - but I am thrilled by their efforts to remedy the situation. A plus, HL-Pro and personal thanks Hitoshi.

No disrespect, but, I was so disappointed in this action figure from the cheap & lousy materials HL PRO has used to produce it!!

there is no disrespect in saying your opinion and feedback about a figure
and i agree with you, quality wasn't in HL Pro mind when they did it, but on the bright side its the only decent Izenborg figure we have
