The other day, my two pack Vulture arrived in the mail, and I honestly must say that I'm quite impressed with the figure, and he may just actually be my favorite figure of the year thus far. The wings on this guy are what make the figure great, as they are well sculpted, using a silver iridescent style plastic with a nice coat of metallic green to compliment them. They plug in perfectly in the back, and I can honestly see these being used for a future Archangel update in the future, as the "feathers" on them look ominous and razor sharp.

The body of the figure is a kitbash of several others, with some newly sculpted details, which work great for this version of the character. The helmet that the animated series version of the character wears is a nice touch, and has actually become my preferred look for this guy, but the original headsculpt is pretty decent, transferring just the right amount of menace and psychosis in the smile.

About the only thing I can complain about is that once pegged in, the wings are stationary, so it would have been nice if they had some sort of articulation. Truthfully though, I kind of like that they AREN'T articulated as well, since this means that they will always stay put when posing this guy (who actually balances quite well despite the extra weight on his back.) Another, more minor issue is that both heads sit a little high on the neck...you can actually see where the ball peg is if you look closely enough at it. It's an easy mod to fix it, but you might end up hurting the articulation on the neck if you do, so despite it's high position, I don't mind it, as it allows this figure to perfectly look up or down as he scans the area for his target.

Rocket Raccon, Rescue, and Ms. Marvel. Most of them were simply repaints, while Rescue was a new figure if I'm correct (who for some reason did not end up coming with the Pepper Potts interchangeable head that was shown off at many shows before release...)
