    Wow, I'm actually impressed. I mean, it's still a Happy Meal toy, but it's got a multiple-step transformation, decent paint applications, and looks pretty good in both modes. Why the heck did the best one get restricted to France?

    OK, I read that headline as "Images of Frances McDormand's Happy Meal Blitzwing Figure", which would have been just about the most awesome TFW2005 headline ever published. Shame... :(

    That does look pretty good for a happy meal toy - better than the ones the US got for sure.

    Got paint details for sure. Perhaps Happy Meals cost more in France so the stores can afford better toys.

    Pretty cool. Here's a thought: since he only turns into the tank, wouldn't it make more sense to go with the tank face?

    Anyway, it's great that they're doing Blitzwing at a smaller scale. I'd love to see them attempt an actual triple changer Blitzwing at legends class or an activator version. Of course it'd probably be something of a disaster, but it'd be a challenge and cool to have just the same.

    Any why does he have English on his packaging, and on the figure itself? I mean, it is being released in France.

    You'll have to ask the guy in charge of distribution. He's in the back office, to the left. You can't miss him, he's got the dark hair and tiny mustache.
