Agreed, meh on more urbanmech in general. Would have been thrilled with a mad cat iv, shrike, jade phoenix, iron cheetah....something exciting. CGL likely won't get around to doing ilclan stuff in plastic for a good while, IWM could have filled that void more in the meantime, oh well. I got my first hierofalcon in the mail yesterday, and it's quite a fantastic sculpt...makes me wish for the jade phoenix.

Mad Cat IV and Shrike are already available from IWM. Or do you mean resculpted verisons?

Yeah just a modernization to fit in better with the newer range of minis. (think the Mad Cat looking like it did on the book cover for hour of the wolf). The current shrike is okay but when put next to something like newer like the hierofalcon it ages the sculpt a bit.

The Savage Wolf has a flaw in assembling the mini- the shoulder.

The Shrike vs new Falcon Omnis are supposed to have a aesthetic difference representing the sort-of split philosophies of the Falcons.  The new Omnis being less totem-ish is pushback against Malvina's behavior by those who oversaw the program and I would assume the scientists.  This is pretty spelled out in the opening fiction of ilClan where a Malvina devotee on Mars mentally goes on about how she uses a Shrike-era totem mech like Malvina.

The shoulders and hips both are flawed on the Mad Cat Mk IV.  Same issue with the Vulture MK IV, since they use the same arms and legs.  It's been a problem since the minis were released.

On Reddit the Saladin was mentioned as being just a remake of the master mold. Not a new thing.

Aww bummer.  I did get a new custom idea for it however, so may need to look into it.
