    Yay!! Shipped from TCP. Can't wait to get her in hand along with GS Super Megatron & S.H.Figuarts WW84.
    The funny part is, I have had Fans Hobby's Athena sitting in my pol at bbts. Waiting for one more figure to drop. I'm going to have the re-tool/re-paint before the original. :lol

    I bought both this one and the MB-12 version.

    Waiting on the MB-12B version to ship, but I already have Athena.

    I have zero issues with my copy-joints are all tight, articulation is fine, she holds pretty much any poses I put her in, and it looks great in person.

    Looking forward to the repaint to get here any day now!

    Not sure why folks hate this so much. It's only $60-something bucks and is a fine figure.

    I can't stand (the whiny entitled bratty side of) the fandom LMAO

    Talking about "this should have never been made, what a waste, etc."

    If you don't get your selfish ass up on outta here! Not everything was made just for your tastes. Some of us, LOTS of us like stuff that isn't the same exact figure over and over and over and over again. Some of us like cheap ass decently made reinterpretations of relatively obscure characters. Some of us like things that are DIFFERENT.

    I, for one, am glad this isn't just another Arcee or "insert-G1-figure-that's-hella-cool-but-has-already-done-to-death" here.

    Mine shipped out the next day after ordering. Which was two days ago.

    Exactly my thoughts. I’ve been hoping we would get some kind of 3p Windblade someday. Is this the one I had hoped for? Not quite. Am I going to love it and enjoy having it once it gets here? Oh absolutely!

    Mine should be arriving tonight. I'll post pics if I have the time.

    Here we are. Images might be somewhat out of order, and are definitely low in quality as my phone's camera is the highest quality camera I currently own.

    She's great! Only issues I've had are the little arms connecting the kibble to the shoulder are kind of complicated if you want to orient them in a way to resemble her traditional wings, and some parts of the car mode are difficult to separate when transforming her. Other than that she's perfectly fine and I'd definitely recommend her if you're into Third Party figures that do something unique.

    It's a good connection. Head slots in and out easily without any shaving needed.

    Cool. That's good to know that Fans Hobby fixed that issue with the mould.

    I got mine today and right out of the box it had 2 cracked pins and a gash that looks like a knife was taken to it. I'm hoping I just got a lemon.

    Here she is in the meantime though.
    @G1Wheeljack, mine looks okay after a preliminary view of the car and accessories. I think you got what I did with Vexo Prominon, bad QC. My copy of him had a broken tab and a boatload of stressmarks.

    One more phone pic while the DSLR recharges.

    Transformation is pretty smooth, joints feel good but hips might be a little too tight - I'm noticing the figure as a whole trend toward too tight rather than too loose.

    I already contacted them via the website and got a response saying they'll have answer on how to handle it by the end of the week. Made it sound like there were multiple people having this issue and they need to figure out how to best fix it for everyone.

    That’s good that they got back to you fast. Bummer that it’s happening to so many people though. Mine is waiting for me at home so now I’m worried...

    Also, here’s the one behind the Wheelblade design. Friend of mine in one of the FB groups I’m one. Go check it all out when you get some time. He’s going to upload a behind the scenes video on Wheelblade in a few days!

    Finally got some time to open it up. Yeah she’s totally awesome and fun. Alittle tight on the joints in the guns and the hips but I’m totally loving this.

    Got her today, 2 in fact an her joints are a lot tighter than Athena which I am happy with. Still don't like the backpack.
