Well only if your desperate with a Blitzwing, coz The metallic look to him makes him look crisp and cleaner when next to the Hasbro release makes the Hasbro ones look like dull KOs But the Blackout ones don't as it uses a lot of Hasbro dull gray plastic scheme. For some reason though the Hasbro versions are more preferrable as the metallic sheen paints used by Takara versions doesn't really suit all of the TFA line at all. It's one of those figures that Dont Need the metallic look to it.
