What we call the New Sculpt era is actually several product lines starting with GI Joe vs Cobra, followed by Spy Troops, Valor vs Venom and finally the internet-exclusive Direct to Consumer line. Along the way, old soldiers were given fresh looks and new characters were created. Looking back on that period between 2002 and 2006, the lines are a mixed bag remembered for strange figure proportions and so-so accessories, but also memorable new characters and fresh new ideas. This is an attempt to bring some of the better ideas into the modern era.

''Iron Grenadier was released in the Spytroops line in two color schemes - Black and gray. I chose to homage the black version as that color has always been associated with Destro's army. Although it is not as accurate to the 2003 figure, I replaced the silver with gold to further strengthen the ties with the vintage Iron Grenadier.''
