I spy with my little eye... rectangular fist holes on Nightbird.

Slipstream is a total buy for me

It just dawned on me that they really are calling the figure "Nightbird Shadow" instead of just "Nightbird", when even in the Japanese version she was just called "Nightbird".

I have to wonder if the new name is a reference to the Japanese name of the episode she appeared in ("Enter the Nightbird") being "Nightbird no Kage" ("The Shadow of Nightbird"). :-?

I was expecting new pics. Not the same pics without the Asian writing on them.

These are really nice, clear images. One can get a much better look at them. Slipstream is in my cart. I'm getting closer to pulling the trigger on Nightbirdladyshadow.

I dont really like that head sculpt for slipstream. Is it me or does she look decidedly less tough? I'll have to see it painted.

They'll be neat when fully done, I think. But they have their flaws, no doubt about it.

Nightbird retains the problem of the Arcee mold, namely, her 'child birthing' hips.

Slipstream looks... very chipper for a fem Con.

And I'm not sure why they're replacing Blackarachnia's fangs with 'scoops'. The only reason would be that the designers are guys, and they wanted to see the TFA BA mold with more pronounced mommy-bags....

I don't get why this is a problem for you.. or anyone, I've heard the complaint before. Why? what are you expecting?

Nightbird's hips were a little big in the cartoon, even.

I think it'll work nicely if they paint the under side of the "chest armor" to look like fangs.

You're right. The paint will make or break that look. I hope it works, that's a really cool look

Plus, who's honestly gonna complain about a fine pair of hips like that?
