Something about Windblade's face just seems unsettling.

What, here? Or just in general? I can hardly make out the details here; I can just tell she's smiling too. I think.

I don't exactly know why, but I agree. Maybe it's because she feels like Thrust's sister...

Thank you! It's not just me then. There's something about the eyes. It looks like her eyes are missing and all we're left with are the shadowy sockets. Add that to the smile and it puts me in mind of this...
At least Takara have made sure none of these fembots are wearing the same shade of lipstick.
I'm really torn as to whether to go for Hasbro's IDW comic accurate Chromia or Takara's G1 animation accurate colours. The all black wheels and painted canopy of Takara's annoys me, but Hasbro's face looks a little vacant and void of life.

The colourschemes are great, specifically Windblade. I understand why Hasbro didnt go with her comic scheme, since it was resembles a bit of Starscream.

I think I like the takara Windblade? it's better-ish? Takara Arcee looks to dull, and no, I don't care that it's cartoon accurate. Takara Chromia makes for a better Prid Arcee than IDW chromia

... why are we getting the more IDW accurate Windblade from *TAKARA*? Do they even HAVE the IDW comics there? T.T It's like they're mocking us D:

okay, makes more sense now, but still, their windblade is so much more comic accurate it almost looks like a different figure! Also I like that it doesn't lose almost all the red in alt mode like the US version does

Takara knocked it out of the park. Especially on Windblade. Dear god the extra red makes all the difference.
I'll definitely be going with Takara for any of these.
Also glad to see them smiling and actually competently posed. They look so cute!

Well, that's all three of this wave bought. Windblade will be going on my SG shelf because she has a sort-of psycho-dominatrix look about her.
I think I need to find her a whip.

Not sure where you'd get a whip from though. Maybe one of the Queen's Blade Revoltechs has something suitable?

Not sure about the US. But my suggestion is to add to your cart an item that both stores have, or a comparable figure; and compare the shipping fees before clearing it out.Sabrblade wrote:How much is shipping to the U.S. from HLJ compared to say, BBTS?
For me HobbyLink is by far the better choice. Which makes me glad that Takara is usually the one with the better decos.

These figures are amazing!!! I have limited my collection to Masterpiece transformers only from the beginning of time, and I have always wanted a Masterpiece Arcee, or a Nightbird to stand next to any of my optimus primes... Although this is not a masterpiece figure, they are literally "masterpieces in their own right"
As a father of two daughters, the idea of a line of "feminine" or "woman" transformers is just amazing... I cant wait to have these displayed along with all the "man"!
Thumbs up to Takara, the colors are perfect, the smiles on their faces is more than appropriate and I would not have it any other way, I love that they have hips, and chests with "breast", just absolutely perfect!
Ordering mine from TFSource, two sets, mint condition, one to display and one to keep mint!
