    I’m so glad that the base figure without paint looks pretty close to the painted model they revealed a while back. The only differences are the gold isn’t as shiny, the red is more glossy, and it doesn’t have some small red and gold accents. But the important thing is they have her face paint already on; that’s great to see.
    I initially canceled bc I was worried it’d look bland unpainted, but after seeing these new images I’ll preorder it again. Looks dope

    Yeah the face paint being there already is the most critical. Nice there is some blue detailing on her torso too.

    Well it matches the other boxes which makes sense, but yeah, this something they'd like to be carried in Hobby Lobby or Barnes and Noble so no Ban.

    Most of the others are all power standing and really dynamic. Hers looks like she has not torso articulation and also just tripped on a pebble.
    When I get mine I'll make her do all poses from Jojo's to compensate.

    This.

    Assuming she doesnt sell out, GME will have some discount down the line. I like the model, but continue to loathe the Windblade character. So....

    Oh yeah, this is gonna be great! I\'ve kinda had a thing going for Windblade lately, and this model looks PERFECT! This time, no karens to complain either! It\'s like they totally forgot! The proportions are perfect and attractive! Though I might have to wait to own her though...

    Finally. I've been waiting for this one. This is my first flame toys figure. Might look into their Arcee that was recently revealed if I end up enjoying this. Planning on using Windblade here as a stand in with the mmc reformatted figures.

    At least until a transforming windblade comes along.

    She looks great! Toning down the ecchi really made a difference in the concept to final mold.

    The pre-painted parts are fantastic, though I was planning to paint the red metallic so I’ll have to mask off those blue sections.

    Its weird, last couple of releases ie rodimus & SG drift had painted eyes and before those, the likes of megs,TC/SC/SW had the dead eyes. Now it looks like they gone back to translucent eyes again...... oh well better break out the paint.

    This is a (Flame Toys) model kit, so you’ve got the stickers and/or a gundam marker. Verdict: irrelevant.

    I just noticed she seems to have alternate collars. In the waving photo she has a no collar. But in the two "sexy" photos she has a popped collar. I wonder how easy those will be to swap. And I wonder if she has any other alternate parts. Also, why does she come with two blades? In case you accidentally break one?

    Have they improved the quality of the polycaps on these kits ?

    It does make me wonder if there may be "alternate parts" on the runners.

    Highly unlikely but I'd really like if the "bow wings" were still an option.

    Yes! I would love to see those cute bow wings be possible somehow! Maybe there's a way you could "misassemble" the regular wings as bow wings?

    I'd like to see her get some alternate faces other than just this emotionless doll expression. Maybe a 3rd party could create some? I don't know if an unofficial 3rd party has made any add-ons/upgrade kits for other official 3rd party Transformers products yet. But if there was ever a good place to start, this would be it!

    Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if there was some mad lad(or lass, or other) out there figuring out a way to turn this non-transforming model kit into a transforming one! That would be pretty cool, if possible! Windblade is a maybe. But I can definitely see someone doing that with Arcee. After all, her more recent toys are basically shell-formers anyways.

    Prepainted parts are always easy to repaint entirely. If you can't match it, repaint it and fill in more details to make it better.

    Hot damn, she's looking great.

    Looks like you can get some pretty, distinct poses given how articulated she appears to be. I'd still like to give her a little kimono.
