Toy Review - Studio Series Blitzwing

I also saw a blog post indicating the shoulder fins are installed backwards in the box. They can be easily swapped though.

I did the swap after posting the pics above. They do look better. To be honest because the wings are tiny, the swap didn't feel much of a difference

And because I didn't follow the instructions, I realised later that the gun can be stored/hidden a lot better underneath the belly of the jet, instead of how I attached it in the pic above. I saw a hole and just plugged the gun in

I'm really looking forward to this figure. The bot mode looks gorgeous.

The jet mode looks a bit naff, but that's just got me looking forward to what 3P/4P companies can do with the design.

A bit of a shame that the fighter jet mode bears little resemblance to the jet as seen in the Bumblebee movie.

The jet mode is the only sore point for me. I'm not particularly fussed about it not being an F4 Phantom (though that would be pretty cool if it was), but it looks kind of squat and chibified.

I really like the robot mode. If they release repaints of this as the other seekers I'll likely end up getting them as well...

I'd love to see a repaint specifically as Skywarp. That way we'd have each of the OG seekers at Voyager size with different molds in the Studio Series line.

Found a Blitzwing at Big W today. Luckily he was easy to spot on the shelf with a bunch of other SS figures because he was the only one with the Bumblebee logo on the top of the box.

A fun figure and should go well with SS Nitro Zeus and SS Thundercrack

was there any official reason given why the jet looks nothing like the one in the movie? i thought that was the point of studio series.
