Its part of the Worlds Smallest TF series. I didnt include it because I didnt want to confuse anyone.

If it is, it's an unofficial figure, as Blitzwing was never released as such.

And aren't the Smallest TFs even smaller than the toy in that pic? Like, Micromaster/Mini-Con/Nebulon-sized (or smaller)?

There's a 'WST Blitzwing' by Justitoys. They've also done the Dinobots, Sixshot (I believe), Blaster, Shockwave and Astrotrain.

But the one on those pictures looks in between the size of G1 astrotrai and the Justitoys one (pictures below), no?

Much like G1 Star Saber I got the Landcross reissues because I thought they look cool. Glad I did then, wonder how much the originals go for. Also I fairly certain Takara did some necessary paint touch ups on the figures and in some cases made new combiner heads. I could be wrong but I remember looking at comparison shots and the heads looked noticeably different. Might have to do a review of my set someday...
Blitzwing's missile launchers didn't work on the US G1 toy either, which is what I think this version is based on. We'll know soon enough as somebody bought his first Platnium Edition.

Weirdly the more I see that Blitwing the less I hate that colour scheme. I swear it reminds me of something but I can't think what. I don't want these figures though. Had these guys in regular colours as a kid and I don't miss them.

Ugh. That plastic screams KO crap quality. And they get uglier with each new image...
As for the mini Blitzwing, that is the Justitoys World's Smallest figure. They did the Dinobots, Sixshot, Shockwave, among others in the WST scale.

But the Smallest Transformers scale is tiny. That smaller Blitzwing looks too big to in that scale, unless Justitoys didn't make theirs as small as the official ones (I wouldn't know).Autobot032 wrote:Ugh. That plastic screams KO crap quality. And they get uglier with each new image...

The Dinobots are about legends-sized, which they pass off as 'cartoon-accurate scale!'. Blaster and Shockwave are regular WST size and the multi-changers are all about the size of the Dinos as far as I'm aware.

How the hell can you tell from pictures alone? Are you a veteran chemist in the plastic industry to make such a claim?

While Seibertron has had exclusive images of the Platinum Conehead G1 rerelease (officially called TRANSFORMERS PLATINUM EDITION SEEKER SQUADRON 3-PACK) for almost a month now, Hasbro has finally provided stock images of this set and we have the high definition ones to show you. The previous in box images confirm that the deco will be provided through stickers and not tampographs. This set includes a reissue of G1 Dirge, Ramjet and Thrust and can currently be preordered online for 69.99$ US and 99.95$ US. It is set to ship early May.
For all news on the Platinum sets coming out in 2015, look no further than Seibertron.com
