The gimmicks been done pretty well
I love the monocled face and the crazy face both look great
Im a little dissapointed in his aggressive persona's face as its not that expressive and doesnt scream out 'I will crush you!' to me
Overall tho id love to se more of the blitzwing figure as i like the show character and id really like to see how he comes out in plastic

Hmm, I hope thats an early prototype - it looks like the gimmick is going to limit how good he looks - each face is kept small to fit them under the helmet.

It looks nice, but I'm wondering if so much empty space was needed in the helmet- it makes it look loose and a li'l fragile. Still gotta give it props for pulling off the gimmick without relying on multiple heads or something

Thats not bad, it makes me wonder with the size of the heads on these toys why they didin't work in the battle masks into the rest of these figures?
It could have been done very easy like they did MP StarScreams head.

I'm very dissapointed. they could've made this better.
i Hope the official release looks better, because this seems veeeery cheap. even for a deluxe...

Doesn´t look at all like the cartoon.
The helmet is completely different,why are the faces locked in seperate grey canisters,where is angry´s anger? where is crazy´s craze? The rest of him BETTER look real good.

Not too shabby. I just wish he looked a little angrier. I’m going to have to dig up my original Blitzwing for a side-by-side comparison.

Looks like a prototype, maybe.
I'm still optimistic about this figure.

I'm liking this a lot. My only quibble is that the space in the helmet is a little too wide.

Reminds me of the face switching gimmick of 90's Morbius:
http://www.marveltoys.net/single.php?figure=315&v=abcdefghijklmnWonder how they will switch the faces, with a switch or something? Maybe a knob?
Now then, where's the rest of the figure!

It looks like there is a black dial below the head that you rotate.
