    ShowZ says it will be released in late march, but I haven't seen any in-hand picture yet, except for Mangmotion's video, am I right?

    So I'm guessing they didn't fix those stupid shoulder panels that stick up for no good reason?

    I'm curious what the height, not including the canon, is for ST Blitzwing. They list the figure at 24.5 cm or 9.7". In the comparison video ShowZ put out , I'd say he's closer to 9.25" based on him standing next to FT Astrotrain.

    I think there was balance issue with v1 and the preferred style changes during v2

    I don't understand the problem with Blitzwing. FTs made multichangers like Astrotrain, Springer and Sixshot.

    Because FT wants the alt-mode to look cool, not just accurate. I am quite please that they want it that way tbh

    I mean, if FT is trying to figure out a way to add the MiG-25's ventral fins (which NOBODY has ever done before AFAIK), I'm all for it...

    Mybe the designer left. Maybe FT saw StarToys design and said crap we need to make some modifications. Or maybe the prototype doesn't stand up on its own.

    I'm wondering who will be the first to reveal Sandstorm. He is badly needed but so damn hard to make.
