    But they did complain about Skids. A lot. Especially about the shoulders and arms.

    it was a metaphor about how people is screaming and complaining how inaccurate this nightbird is, when is nothing NEW from takara, even for main characters like, skids, so why would they not use a mold they already have and do an homage that works, as someone already said, a one episode character, with no personality or purpose other than be a ninja girl, why would they make an entire new mold?

    MGT Shadow Assassin is way more accurate than this. Plus I don't want a transforming Nightbird.

    The sword and sai weapons look like they're literally the ones from the Legends toy upscaled.

    I dunno, it still looks as close to the G1 cartoon as Arcee looks to the G1. Both had tiny but prominent backpacks in the cartoon but are oversized in the masterpiece toy due to design needs. I realize the Nightbird didn’t transform in the cartoon, but that doesn’t mean the mp toy mustn’t. Movie Shockwave never transforms but the toys do. Hell, you want it more accurate and not transform? You can remove the backpack and voila! Non-transforming Nightbird!

    Anyhoo, I think she stands tall as a fairly animation accurate Nightbird. It’s a great design. I think it honestly fits better with Nightbird than Arcee.

    That's because they are.

    This is more an MP of Legends Nightbird than "Enter the Nightbird" Nightbird.

    Not sagging, more like push up bra with a loose-fitting crop top. For someone who goes by the name “Rated X” you don’t seem to know much about breasts.

    Starting to wonder if the shape of Arcee's chest was designed that way specifically to accommodate Nightbird's head

    Honestly I think this fits the mold better than Arcee does. Or it least it makes the elements that I felt made Arcee look awkward/off don't have the same effect in this deco/ with the new sculpting.
