I think it's her "milkshake" that's got our attention...

you dislike widblade so much, AND legends scale so much, why even join the discussion?
When this character was revealed everybody wanted to puke, now all of a sudden everybody loves her.
Not to mention that generalizations are a bad idea, X. I certainly liked her, both as a character and as a toy. Which means that your statement is a faulty generalization. And the fact that Iron Factory is putting this out must mean that, logically, some people must want her. So, back to shajaki's question, eh? O_o

Well to answer your question...
Is there anyone on these boards who DOESNT comment on products they have no intention of buying ?
It seems to be a tradition around here. I'm not the first and I wont be the last...

*Meekly raises hand* That might lower some people's opinions of me around here, but the 8 year old boy in me liked the character. My 8 year old son likes the character too. But, alas...

Maybe I generalized Japanese face paint and hair by saying "Geisha" but the point I was getting at is it's a robot with ancient Japanese human aesthetics. Kabuki doesn't make it any better in my opinion. It could be Kabuki, Geisha, Samurai, ninja, etc. but to me the head is a tremendous eyesore.
Does anybody have a list of the Hasbro weekly fan votes compiled to create Windblade ? Was the face part of the vote ? Or did the artists just take the "liberty" of creating it based on the vote for a female robot that wields a sword ?
