I will be getting this, oh yes.

And this is the first time I wish I had the Botcon Dreadwind.

Get it! He looks quite different from Skyfire/Jetfire with the new head and the fact that you can configure the mold different ways.

I'd love to, but it's a little more expensive than I'm willing to pay.

To be fair, I think he's the cheapest of that set.
If not him, than it has to be Bugbite.
And, I love him.
I really wish this one had a new head, but the Silverbolt head repainted is close enough to be well worth getting it to be a pair.

It probably is. But still, what range does that put it in? I'm guessing probably at least $80, and with the new Darkwind/Darkwing from TRU, that's only going to go up.

Please understand, I'm not bitching about the Botcon prices here. I just am not willing to go that high, even though I'd like the toy, just so I could have the two characters together. But it's the rare TF item I'll pay that much for, and and unfortunately, Dreadwind isn't one of them.

Especially now, since we've kind of splurged on Christmas this year!

There is only one Botcon Dreadwing on ebay. It's a buy-it-now for $129 plus shipping.

Only one other has sold on ebay in the last few months, and it sold for $137.50.

Yikes.

Definitely out of my price range.

If there ends up being a Henkei version, I'll definitely get one!

Takara has no rights to use the new head sculpt made for him, so I doubt highly there will be one.

Does the shoulders and arms swing all the way forward?
