When we talk repaint, it has the derogatory effect of implying that no additional thought or craftsmanship went into the new character and the only difference from the original character for a particular mold is the color.
Blurr has new weapons and a remold of the head, along with the new color scheme. This is a new 'treatment' along with a 'repaint'; therefore, could we call it a:
Retreat?
Seriously though, great fig with the new armory and head sculpt. I prefer to think of it as a re-sculpt and will be a buy on sight.
Honestly, we should just be happy that it got the re-tools and we didn't just get a blue Drift re-paint.
I LOVE this mold, and if each mold got repainted:
Drift repainted in black with the guns as Deadlock
Blurr repainted somehow with the swords into someone (little help here)
I would pick those up as well.
