    We have the first look at the head sculpt for Play With This Too's Jetstrike...

    Here is his Strike Scepter weapon:

    Close, but I think it's someone else. I just can't place him. I keep thinking one of the wildlings from Game of Thrones? Mance Rayder?

    I see a few small parts reused between Jetstrike and Boneyard. Feet, upper legs, right forearm, probably the non-blade open hands and non-blade close hands, probably the waist, since we can't see it on Boneyard, so it wouldn't matter if they are identical. What's that 9 identical pieces out of...30+ components, and only the small pieces? A good way to get some reuse without it looking like it.

    I wonder if that will be the human head offered with all four recolors?

    That is a quandry... You'd think people would like different human heads, but that would be a lot of work. Could they get away with two human male heads, each recolored with different color hair?

    I also know we saw a "robot head" in the first kickstarter, and a human female head with an eyepatch.

    You can see them here:

    I'd hope the wings and weapons have multiple ways you can mount them. Then maybe by swapping the parts, changing he head, you could make multiple characters from the couple of toys.

    On the otherhand if they all have same head or are the same character you can just pick the color scheme you like best. Like G.I.Joe with their Night Force or Tiger Force (or even arctic or desert decos); you can get all of them or just your favorite. No retooling needed.

    Well, you can already swap the heads on these. I wouldn't mind at least two of them sharing a head mold.. Starscream and Sunstorm should look a lot alike anyways, and why not make Skywarp and Thundercracker near identical brothers?

    They are, he's called Jetstrike. That head on Guido Guidi's Masterforce Starscream actually looks a lot like the head on Play With This Too Astroblast!

    I'm sure he will have null rays and wings... and probably a couple surprises if Boneyard was any indication. The original art suggested two mace weapons at least, I'd expect open and closed hands, and at least two heads, human and robotic.

    We have a new image of Jetstrike, a full render. Looks like we have a full armored human figure with wings, two sets of hands (open and closed), alternate robot head, helmet, the "null ray" style rifles (I'm assuming 2 sets? I'll ask), and a pair of 2-piece melee weapons.

    I pledged the first time for a blood (or whatever Japanese character, Blood's, analog was called) and now they are scrapping that figure entirely? And what about Skullgrin's homage? They still in the pipeline? From what I understand sounds like ONLY Jetstrike and Boneyard are getting production runs?

    If I'm mistaken please correct me & lmk if I understand correctly too.

    I like Boneyard and the seeker Jetstrikers too but i kinda was hoping they.do those 4 molds to begin with. (Blood/Skull grin/Grimlock/Starscream)

    I believe they said they can still do Desolataur and Bloodbath, but since Boneyard and Jetstrike were much more in demand among fans they moved them up to first on the Kickstarter list and they are focused entirely on thelm right now.

    I want Desolataur too, but I don't think we can expect to see Play With This Too to talk about any other figures besides Boneyard and Jetstrike until they are funded.
