Do you have a Toys'R'Us Exclusive Darkwind sitting around collecting dust? If so, Seibertron.com member Venksta's garage kit company Renderform have a solution for you!

First teased late last year, RF-005 is finally here and nearly ready for order. This set features a G1-inspired head to mimic Darkwing, as well as his signature rifles and a fully customizable visor with three different colors.

Before ordering, please be sure to fully read Venksta's disclaimers about a known QC issue.

We'll keep you posted right here on Seibertron.com when orders open up.

I always thought the paint job they gave the regular head worked well for carrying on the look of the G1 version, but this head is sooo much better.

I sincerely wish that they had made a Hydra redeco of this in addition to Darkwing/d.

When will your order page be up again? I'd like to grab one of the Mach Red's before they sell out.

That figure is still readily available at many TRU's collecting dust on the shelf.

I think it looks really excellent! I didn't think I needed this until I saw it, now I need it! :APPLAUSE:

Let me clarify 'it'. I need the upgrade set. Didn't think I needed the set because of the nicely done paint apps to the original head.

I am now considering grabbing one off the dusty TRU shelf, to have another to mod with this.

I knew you meant the set man. I was just agreeing with you about the figure warming shelves at some TRU if people were still in need of Darkwind.

I know you did, I was clarifying for others, because after re-reading it could sound like I wanted someone to nab one for me... #-o

Actually, I do need someone to grab one for me

If someone wants to arrange a trade, like MISB Hardhead for Darkwind or MISB Wreck-Gar and MISB Perceptor for Darkwind, I can totally do that.

I'll check my local TRU tomorrow when I am out that way for class. If no one has hooked you up yet and the figure is still there, I will buy him for you.

Thanks! Another member offered to help me, too, but if that doesn't work out I'll definitely send you a PM. After all, you got a shout-out from some reputable folks on the Seibertron.com podcast, I know you're good for it ;)^
