Combiner Wars for instance had no new Leader class in Wave 6, instead giving us Skywarp again. I wouldn't hold your horses for anything more than re-issues of Overlord and Sixshot.

Eh, I'm still holding out my hopes. Heck, every wave except wave 1 has had a leader (it had 2) so I think we'll get one last figure.
And saying the last wave is usually the lame repaints isn't fair. Thrilling 30's last wave had Arcee, Chromia, and Brainstorm

I suppose, but I'm not particularly hopeful. Not only do they need to move on to the next Generations line; they've got a whole new movie to promote. Their last wave kinda needs to wind down a little rather than going out on a bang from a business perspective.
I mean I hope I'm wrong. I hope we get a badass Leader Deathsaurus flanked by Voyager Horrorcons and a new-mold Deluxe Nightbeat holding an adorable little Titan Master Steeljaw. Just does't seem terribly likely

That head looks GORGEOUS.

Even with the best faith in the world I can't see the retail release looking that good. I'd love it if it did, but...
But while this figure looks good, it's the third Windblade Deluxe mold (counting RID Windblade) and the fifth domestic release including repaints IN THREE YEARS. Yeah, fan choice character and all, but 5 releases in 3 years is nuts. At this point the only way I could be interested in yet another toy of this one character would be if it were a definitive version like a Masterpiece. Especially since there are still actual -Masters that have yet to be confirmed.

SillySpringer wrote:That is a good point, Kurona. I really want to see her in-hand without her weapons blocking her torso, and with her legs in a more appealing standing position rather than the weird classic "I gotta go poo poo" pose.
Plus I want a better look at that neck to see whether or not it's likely that she has that Highbrow/Scourge neck problem.
Kurona wrote:I'm still not sure on Windblade, honestly. There's certain proportions and shapes to her toy that I'm not quite 100% on right now, and it doesn't help that every photo has her swords blocking some part of her body so I can't quite get a good look at her. It's one I'll have to wait until it's out to decide on.
Kurona wrote:Also, must admit one particular negative about her: If she did turn out better than most Windblades... I'd still have to get the T30 Windblade for her actual sword.
The swords she has are cool, but they don't look like her normal (singular) sword at all so I'm not really sure what they were going for. The only thing I can think of is that they're pre-tooled for another use of the mold because that other use would be a character for who these swords would fit? Because right now they don't quite fit Windblade at all.
I'll have a ton of fun giving them to Alpha Bravo and Stormclash though

I remember opening the Generations figure in front of my female coworkers and they were...bemused. On the other hand her robo-boobies look to be embarrassingly pronounced, to the point where you can see them hanging from her jet-mode undercarriage...

Really? I don't see how these robo-panties are less prominent, and maybe even more prominent than on the T30 release? You mean the Takara Legends one?
