I saw a couple of similar esponses to the above.

Umm, this confuses me. It is the same color scheme as the original. What gives and what color scheme did you think Dreadwind would be? :???:


I was thinking the same thing.


Why pass up the opportunity for petty complaining?

Seriously, this toy should have been colored black. They should have used black detailing, all black weapons, and transluscent black for the eye piping.

That and they should have taken out all of the gimmicks and just gone with the 1042 standard points of articulation.

Seriously.


Bitter are we?...

I like many am getting more than a little tired of the
tsunami of bile being flung by the denizens of the
"intarwebb".

I think the last thing this set - nay, this line - needs is another Seeker!


Leo, that's crazy talk. You can never have enough Seekers.


I'm a crazy chap, my friend.

I genuinely like the colours on this toy, to be honest.

Same here. However, speaking of seekers, I assume the Sunfore repaint will be the attendee item. However, I wonder if people would have reacted more positively if the set had 3 generic grey seekers instead of Bugbite and Dreadwind. Or maybe even a couple of grey generics and new chracter as a green seeker.

Personally, I wouldn't have wanted a set of six Seekers, new characters or not. Nine paints of the same mold in one line seems a bit of a stretch to me. Plus, I'd find my display rather boring if I had that many.
