360 degrees is a full circle, so you'd be back at the point where you started. I think you want to put yourself 180 degrees away from a petulant, unpleasable "fan", Fenrir.

These figures do look amazing in living color. Slipstream's colors are absolutely gorgeous. Blackarachnia's coloring has sold me on this new remold as well. Nightbird looks a bit bland with all that gray, but that's they way she looked in the cartoon, so I can't fault Takara on that.

Oopsie........I suck at Algebra, Geometry and Trigonometry BIG time :lol:

Wish we got more close ups though. Liking Nightbird Shadow and Slipstream. Blackwidow not too much but will still take her thats for sure.

Welp, I'm sold on these three. The paint jobs did it.

Those are the most awesome colors, so glad I have these pre ordered.

Well, that's Black Arachnia and Slipstream pre-ordered. I was always gonna grab BA, but dang if Slipstream don't look good. And not having that mould, it makes sense.

I LOVE this Blackarachnea, but I'm pissed. It likely means we won't see an original screen accurate mold. It's stunning, but not the one I wanted.

Is anyone having nostalgia off the charts after seeing these epic figures?

My thoughts exactly! If Takara knew Hasbro had one planned or in the works, they wouldnt have gone out of their way for this one.

I think the positive we can take away from this is that if we ever get a CHUG Tarantulas, him and BA will have different toolings on your Beastwars Reedun shelf.

I... I love that blackarachnia. that is all I have to say. For a retool of the Animated mold, she's so amazingly close to her BW show model. Not *perfect* but damned *close*. As for Slipstream, again I feel like the main thing keeping me from buying her is her inherited balance issues. I really like her colored but she does me no good if she can't stand on her own two feet.

Blackarachnia is sooo epic,Slipstream is epic as well and Nightbird is nice.

My favorite is Slipstream, what's yours guys? :-?

News Credits: 1 · by **durroth** » Thu Jun 18, 2015 11:17 am

Blackarachnia. But only because slipstream is going to hate standing.

News Credits: 3 · by **DedicatedGhostArt** » Thu Jun 18, 2015 11:20 am

Slipstream is a favorite character for me, out of all of these. So I guess that influenced my choice.

Btw did the Takara Legends Windblade have problems standing? :???:

Blackarachnia is pretty high, but right now I'm more excited for Nightbird because I'm interested in an old character idea finally getting a toy after all this time.

yes. it uses the same heels as Generations Windblade without any lengthening.

Black Widow, and I already have the Animated one

Slipstream... maybe if I can find only her. I'm gonna pass on Nightbird, so army builders can have them all:

I am getting the feeling that nightbird is the weaker of the three. I dont care since I have no clue who the character is but looking at the pics, it seems she doesnt have a huge backpack and is instead a sleek ninja type character. Did they only use the arcee mold for the hips?

It's a retool of Arcee.

From the looks of it, the chest, waist and head are new, and maybe the upper arms.

I know, hence my question. The character's design does not seem to work with the Arcee mold they chose aside from her hips so I am asking if the hips are the only reason the arcee mold was used.
