It might be another couple of years until we get a proper screen-accurate Blitzwing toy (in Studio Series or Masterpiece), so if you want a decent representation of one of the new bad-ass Decepticons from the Bumblebee Movie, and didn't get enough of him on screen, the licensed figure company called 3A, have revealed one... at about 27cm tall (about Voyager size) with 51 points of articulation.
Despite the massive amount of articulation, the 3A figures are more for display, than play... but it allows you to do a lot of different poses, or action photos.
The promo image was posted on TFW here (http://news.tfw2005.com/2019/01/08/3a-dlx-blitzwing-from-transformers-bumblebee-revealed-380540), but it hasn't yet been added to the 3A website (https://www.worldofthreea.com/catalog/transformers/), or a release date... just that pre-orders will start on January 11th (probably on their site, or through online stores that stock 3A figures).
Based on past figures, I'd estimate this one would be about AU$300... pricey, but very nice.

Man I'm so keen on 3A's Blitzwing figure. I love his design and would love a highly-detailed articulated figure. Damn Flametoys for opening the door on 'statutes' to me

Despite him being an 'actionmaster' and despite him not being a triple-changer.... sweet Primus he looks good. I really dug his design on screen and 3A have captured this so accurately.

This looks incredible.

That said, Im going to be sorely disappointed if we don't get a Studio Series rendition of Blitzwing.

Really hoping we get a Studio Series Blitzwing at some point.
But this is really really nice.
A bit on the pricey side though
But kinda tempting.
How does one go about ordering these things anyway? I really loved the look of their Bumblebee and wouldn’t mind getting my hands on one.

Hobbysearch has Bumblebee, no Blitzwing listed yet. You can also get both bots straight from ThreeA’s store (https://www.worldofthreea.com/shop/).
Great, now you’ve got me tempted to get Bumblebee too after looking at all these promo pics. :o The detail on him is awesome.
I’ve got ThreeA’s Badbot and he’s a solid figure. Joints are very sturdy, except for his fingers so I can’t get him to pose with both guns lol.
