    Ugh. Windblade just looks so... bad. This coming from a guy who has enjoyed the RID toyline so far.
    Which is sad because I really do like the look of the mold. Just needs more paint. Maybe reprolabels will put something out that'll convince me to get this figure.

    No interest in Prime.

    Yup. I really like the look of it, mould-wise, but it's so red. Especially after the mess that was thrilling 30 Windblade.

    Luckily for customizers, painting red plastic black is way easier than painting black plastic red. If I get her I'll paint her more show-accurate and give her the thrilling 30's sword.

    The red on Wingblade's legs is probably the worst colour-matching I've ever seen.

    Those blue shorts Optimus is sporting is just well...prime?

    Also Windblade has that shorts look too. Reminds of the early nineties when girls wore spandex shorts under their jean shorts and they stuck out from the bottom of the jeans. Looks odd.

    I'll be getting the TakTom Windblade for sure.


    Prime is an easy pass.

    I only want that Windblade, sure it has a lot of red but it still looks nice. Fan of the character = must buy for me.

    The light blue on Prime isn't a winner... but lovin' the above pics!! With the clear blue instead of opaque blue, that makes a world of difference!

    Seriously, I keep comparing the two, the clear looks fantastic. Wouldn't touch the other.

    Can't wait for Takara to do a decent repaint of that Windblade mold.
    It looks miles better then that thrilling 30 "thing" we go, especially with the less derpy head.

    Why does everyone hate on this toy? Serious question. I don't own it, and I'm no fan of Windblade, but that iteration of her looks much more interesting than anything else I've seen of her. Is it just a bad mold?

    Yeah, it's a floppy mess. It's misproportioned, it doesn't feel solid or fun to move. Awkward tolerances and mine broke hours after opening. It current sits completely disassembled in a box waiting to be repainted into something tolerable, but I doubt I'll ever do it. Oh, and it can't stand very well.

    In-hand, it feels so much worse than it looks. It's just not fun to pose or handle at all.
