See the holes where Blackie's nipples should be? There's pegs inside the bra to fix it there.
That is the fixed version.
Try to imagine what the original was?
That's right, Blackie had a great case of the epic erect nipples and the bra pegged there.

Sir, It is very hard for me to focus right now. that is disturbing. :shock:

Some peoples kids :lol:

Mine was. I remember having to pry it off.

Interesting. Mine was pegged in very tightly, but there was no goopy stuff that suggested it was ever glued. I got mine brand new and sealed in box BTW.

Look at what's behind her back:

That is a legit attachment point on the mold btw

I agree the decos look phenomenal, even on Nightbird Shadow. But I'll be eying just Slipstream and Black Widow for now.

You dont mind the mold for Slipstream?

safe to say these girls aren't going to be released by Hasbro?
Just can't see Hasbro using the Animated mold and every deluxe needs to combine these days so...

Not at all, I think it suits her and makes her stand out from her fellow Seekers. Plus, how many feminine or gender-ambiguous jet molds have we had recently, aside from FE Starscream?
I have heard some worrying stories about the Windblade mold, so I'll be awaiting the reviews on her.

I wouldn't really count on it for this year. We may get them as exclusives either at a Con or even from FunPub, but who knows what sneaky Hasbro is planning?

I'm loving the deco and even though the mold is a little fiddly, I don't mind it.

Thank goodness Nightbird Shadow's sai aren't translucent anymore. Looked as though she was pulling them from out of subspace.

Though, with her being a ninja, it'd probably be rather appropriate.

With a name like Black Widow, I dont think a hot date would end so well.

Ah! So you havent experience the Windblade mold yet. Fair warning, it is the fiddliest transformer I have ever handled since MP 05. MP 05 is obviously fiddlier, but this mold was quite a dissapointment to me.

I can honestly say my Windblade mold isn't too bad. Yes, she is a bit fiddly, but she is not terrible. Mine stands no problem and everything pegs in good. My only complaint about mine is the cockpit area is tilted like 30 degrees from the rest of the plane. it looks warped

I love the new spider eyes on Blackarachnia's alt mode, but I hate that they had to add those weird breasts. It's 2015; can we stop giving female characters big "Lara Croft" breasts?

Uhh...

To have done otherwise would have been a disservice to the character's appearance.

I agree. Takara is simply trying to make it as show accurate as possible using the preexisting mold.

I have a question though. With all the modifications done to these 3 molds, are we to assume that the price of altering a mold is that much cheaper than making a new one from scratch?

I think a simple paint job would have sufficed. No need for the enlargement.

Well, you are replacing only a few parts, instead of making a new toy with a lot of parts...
