Henkei Dirge and Thrust pics

These look pretty cool. Since I bit the bullet and got myself Henkei TC and SW recently, I'll probably do the same with these guys.

The only good thing coming out of Henkei Thrust is that the Botcon one will definately NOT go down in value now.

Also, even if the engines are removable and are able to be placed on top of the wings, it's still going to look very odd.

Wow, these pics saved me money. Thrust looks like....well.....yuck. The stripes on Dirge's wings look like ass.

I'm so thankful for Botcon's versions.

If Thurst engines are removable then it may be cool. But Dirge is nice..whats with that funky ass design. That was a pure WIN without the design for sure.

As many have said before, Keep Dreaming. They are already out here from Botcon. Hence the reason why Tak/Tomy did them in this way. SO they would look different from the botcon ones. We MAY see these domestically, however don't count on them being Dirge and Thrust, rather just generic seekers.

Looking good...but will the QC be utter shit like the last Henkai exclusives? Lot of folks seem to be forgetting about that.

I really hope there was a lesson learned from Thundercracker and Skywarp and TakTomy puts extra care in these, since I really want that Thrust and Dirge,too.

In b4 "My Henkai Thundercracker and Skywarp were in excellent condition!"

Why don't I save you all the trouble and call ToyMarket tomorrow and see if those wings for Thrust are removable or not (but chances are they won't know).

And for everyone that keeps Pming me I am still selling the pair for $130 SHIPPED, meaning the shipping price is already included. I use a slightly more expensive shipping method than other sellers because it provides tracking, insurance and typically takes under a week to get to your home.

Did Thrust have a white face in the G1 Cartoon? It's been so long since I have watched it I don't remember.

Seems I'm with the majority of this thread.

I'm just gonna stick with my BotCon Thrust.

Dirge + wing alcohol soak =

I was considering selling my Botcon 2007 set to get the Henkei versions but after seeing the pictures, I'm going to stick with what I got. I think these look terrible.
