    Wow, nice repaint of a horrible mould, that's way more tempting than Silverbolt for me, as in the comics Darkwing was a more interesting character than Silverbolt. Still the price of ultra's and the significant crappyness of the mould means I will only get it if its cheap.

    It's nice. I mean, I'm not breaking my no-repaints rule to buy it, but as repaints go it looks pretty sweet.

    I'm torn. I think it's an extremely well thoughtout repaint but if I place him next to Dreadwind then he'll be just out of proportion. So there are two real options then: grab either mold and repaint them into their counterpart. It was already my intention to get a Darkwing out of Skyfire (one spare allocated just for that).

    I do feel that the repaints on the Ultras is becoming a bit too much. Three molds and only Onslaught remains unremolded. I suspect Grimlock must be in the ROTF b/c of the Masterpiece otherwise Hasbro would not initiate the production of the toy so there's perhaps chance of a remold of Onslaught into Grimlock to round out the three Ultras all being remolded.

    Thats one nice repaint of a pretty 'meh' figure.

    Ah well, it saves me another $45!

    Yeah the figure is a bit so so but that darkwing paint is so nostalgic! I hope it comes with the double cannons and the powermaster figure. Plz Plz Plz Plz Hasbro

    Looks like this figure's name is Darkwind, not Darkwing.

    Surprised at it being a TRU exclusive though. They couldn't be cutting back on general release Universe already - the line is put on hold during the movie months, leaving just store exclusives - but that shouldn't happen until April at least.
