    I would say yes, they aren't going to pass up a great reason to release a repaint. It will probaby have differences but I don't think we have any solid facts quite yet.

    There was supposed to be a mold difference allowing pointier fins or something like that.

    very very minimal differences. the physical differences are only that they're going to use their skywarp/original ss mold instead of hasbro's which had really tiny changes made for safety reasons. as far as paint, it seems to only be the main streak of blackwash down the back that's different

    As far as I know it's still coming out. I know of some retailers that have already placed orders for it.

    Oh, I already have mine. I was just speaking for the others that don't. Because I've been in that boat many a time.
