    Pretty sure it just exists as a cgi render teaser and those few renders early on are all that's been seen of it.

    ...well i went ahead and preordered their other figure from the chosen prime yesterday; all the domestic retailers have her up for preorder with a 2019 release date, but i won't be surprised if she doesn't ship until late spring...

    ...if their first figure does well, i expect we'll see more of windblade shortly thereafter, maybe this winter...

    Character wise she's like a tiny jet that's about the size of a bike(Chromia,IDW), or a car(Bumblebee, Cyberverse). I'd expect her to be roughly the same height as WhitePinkCar.

    That was a question not a statement - I was asking when the product we are not allowed to mention is supposed to actually ship ?

    Oh I see now - I missunderstood the context of the Earlier posts - I thought somone was saying Windblade was due in April 2020 (as that is after all quite a long way off) and She who's name shall not be spoken - seemed pretty finished so I was expecting her to at least show up this year.

    Thanks for the confirmation though - as I nearly spent my ebay 10% voucher on her - but that would have been a pretty silly thing to do if she wasn't out for months.

    Is there a place one can pre-order this company's products that doesn't take payment until close to release - perhaps ?

    --------

    Hopefully we get a look at Windblade's Vehicle mode soon 'm keen to see more of her.

    I pre-ordered my pink car from ShowZ. I'm still new to their site, but they require a deposit when pre-ordering. Not sure about cancellations, either. Otherwise, TFSource has the same figure up, but it's more costly, so... Not sure about anywhere else.
    Considering that's they're first product, I can only hope more retailers will supply Firebird's stock once they're established as a reputable company. As of now, it's slim pickings.

    In regards to when Windblade will be released... That's hard to say. It seems their bike girls will be the next on the list considering they've shown gray prototypes of them. Then they've also shown some original dinosaur transformer which may be next after that. Sadly, it may be a while until we see Windblade (if we see her at all)...

    Thread reminder, keep it about their Windblade.

    Also, not calling it by name doesn't really matter. "Pinkcar" and "she who is not to be named" is just as off topic as BFB Arcee.

    Don't mind me - I was just clearing up in relation to if the April 2020 Date they mentioned was refering to one product or another.
    I thought they were talking about Windblade but they were talking about that evil unnamed presence lurching in the shadows instead.

    I've not seen the Lady Motorcycles - do they have their own thread or do I need to search this thread for them ?

    OK - cheers I'll go try mr. Google then. You saying that ; does that imply they are somewhat provocative too ?

    I wonder how they are getting along with the next products to be released since they've been sending out testshots of some other product lately that made me wonder if the people making Windblade are still active and not closed by the Chinese Government like many places seem to have been. But perhaps trade shows and such have been cancelled too - so they decided to just send out samples and let the stores hype them that way intested. It does make for things being very quiet accepting for things that can be done on a loan wolf basis like social media posts I guess.
    If they have been closed then I guess that means the bikes and the jet might be very delayed items.

    I'm curious to see some prototypes in relation to other items ; as one of the 1st things I thought was - how will this product line look with FP's Fembot Dinos - since they share a similar er 'Beach style' dress sense.

    Is Big Fire Bird just another name for Tactical Waistcoat?

    I'm betting it's due to the recent virus outbreak that's making them go quiet in general. Hopefully when things clear up more we'll hear more info cause man I'm really wanting more info on their Windblade especially since I've preordered the Firebird Arcee some time ago.
