Japanese blogger Alfes 2010 has been a busy guy with the release of the Takara DOTM line. Now he's added a gallery for Takara's Deluxe Air Raid. Air Raid is a repaint of ROTF's Deluxe Thrust who was of course a repaint/remold of ROTF's Duluxe Breakaway. We've mirrored a sampling of his images below, to view his gallery click here.

Ive always liked this mold, but I wish they would add some variances like they do with the seekers. Kewl that the weapon is a homage (color wise) to the lighter variant of Breakaway though.

This is one repaint I can do without. Thrust and Breakaway went in my box last month to make room for my growing classics collection.

If Air Raid is a Takara/Tomy exclusive, I'll be importing him then. Like the mold, like the paint scheme, like the homage. A bit depressing though, I was hoping he'd come state side.
