Another new Generations toy gallery for you guys, this time by yours truly!

TFW Generations Sky Shadow Gallery

For those not familiar with this guy - Thunderwing was never released in Japan in the 80s, like a lot of the later Pretender toys. His toy was remolded though to make a Japan only "Crossformer" named Black Shadow, for Transformers Victory.

It's a dream come true that Hasbro should celebrate that fact with this toy - it's the closest I'm ever getting to the "real" Black Shadow!

Ironically the lack of inner robot doesn't matter so much here - you could even argue it's more show accurate since in his one episode appearance in Victory, you never actually saw the inner robot!

Anyhow, enough from me, check out and enjoy the gallery.

I can't think of a better example of how a new head and deco makes me do a 180 on a toy.

 

I have to agree. While I enjoyed Thunderwing at the time, when I look at Thunderwing alongside Sky Shadow, I really feel like Thunderwing has a pretty pathetic excuse for a head.

 

Hasbro should do these 'exclusive Japan-only' centric characters more often. I know they'd get my money every time!    

 

you know what i just noticed. Sky shadows head resembles that of astrotrains. did hasbro re tooled the head would not be surprised but still great execution

 

Man, this guy is soooo badass! Want him badly!  

 

I got him last weekend. However, their was a bad paint job on part of his chest.
Some of it was white. I'm replacing him soon as I find another one.

 

I just opened Black Shadow today too. I decided he has a crush on Nightbird. Got a problem with that?

Blackie loves Nightie. Mafia and Yakuza.



There's a new sheriff in town, and he's looking to take down the space mafia!



I'm taking you in!



Ninja ATTACK!



Um, thanks honey...

 

Now that's what transformer faces look like.

 

Anyone know the DCPI for this at Target?

 

I got him already 2 & I want the original bkack shadow toy next time i find it I will buy it no matter the cost. I don't care.I have the original thunderwing too

 

^The original, vintage Blackshadow can go from anywhere between $700 for a used stickered piece, to $1,000+ for MISB. And I am speaking from first hand experience.. 

 

I love this toy! Face sculpt and color scheme. Now I read his wiki and love him more! I have to admit that Thunderwing pales in comparison. But this guy is going on my shelf with Deathsaurus and his crew!

 

Great pics boss!  

Love this figure!

 

It looks like the swords that's part of Infinity Warfare Set II by Junkion Blacksmith.

Sky Shadow ftw!

 

mine's in the mail, can't wait, after the reprolabels set on thunderwing though, i think i like them both evenly

 

I will go ahead and buy him remolds are getting to be a bit bad on the budget but he is distinct enough to warrant it.

 

My apologies, yes it's the Infinity Warfare II sword. As he's from Victory and they all had swords and what-not in that series it seemed appropriate to snap a couple of pics with him wielding one.

 

^Excellent idea and execution!
