    There's one for her sword in alt-mode, but it doesn't end up anywhere useful in robot mode (it ends up on her backside). Same deal with the Tamashii Stage port on the nose-cone.

    thanks.

    Any screw on the back of the head, to be able to disassemble it? A pic of the back would be cool ;)

    Looks good, wish it looked like the Sarah Stone design that she had in her actual miniseries.

    Does the port fit a specific Tamashii stage or are they all the same?

    They all use the same arm systems, so any jointed arms will do.

    Great, thank you. It seems they really had collectors in mind when they made Windblade.

    The rear landing gears just stick out from the back of her thighs in her bot-mode and they get in the way when I want to pose her sitting.

    I have a mix feeling about this toy.

    On one hand, the robot form is really pretty and I love the removable hair comb, beautiful sword, and small details. But on the other hand, the alt-mode is somewhat disappointing because it is so loose, it can barely held itself together, and it's totally empty between the afterburners (unless you stick the sword between which looks weird from her behind, imo). I just feel like they were very lazy designing her alt-mode.

    Soooo empty I wonder how she could even fly

    But since I'll pose her in the bot-mode 99.9% of the time, it's OK for me

    Thanks everyone for these awesome pics, I am now that much more excited to get her, that I am considering not waiting for it to come locally, and just get 2 of these from BBTS / TCP instead.

    I think for the alt mode, although generally my fembots don't get too much of it, this one will likely get it, and the stand will help to have the right pose to hide the hole. Also, maybe a third party / shapeways will make some upgrades for this.

    Wow...finally a 35th anniversary figure that doesn't seem to have problems. I was excited about this since the first video review by Optibotimous. Now instead of finding new problems, like on Rattrap, new cool things are being discovered like the tilting VTOL fans and that part of her headpiece is a fan...that she can hold.

    Can't wait for this one.

    I want to buy two just for the sword. Coolest weapon to come out in a while. IMO
