First Look At TF Animated Blitzwing's Toy's Faces!!!

FPC'd FYI THX!

And....coooooooolllllll! I have all these German laden phrases running through my head right now!

It looks nice, but I'm wondering if so much empty space was needed in the helmet- it makes it look loose and a li'l fragile. Still gotta give it props for pulling off the gimmick without relying on multiple heads or something

Animated Blitzwing looks crazy!!! A cool gimmick.

1 and 3 are the same face.

[edit - in the news article anyway]

Thats not bad, it makes me wonder with the size of the heads on these toys why they didin't work in the battle masks into the rest of these figures?

It could have been done very easy like they did MP StarScreams head.

The black face is very good. Is it the prototipe?

Now worres, nice catch.

Awesome, the crazy face looks great(my favorite.) I can't wait to see the rset of Blitzwing and find out if it's Voayger or deluxe and which wave it's in

I'm very dissapointed. they could've made this better.
i Hope the official release looks better, because this seems veeeery cheap. even for a deluxe...

I'll buy this.

Doesn´t look at all like the cartoon.
The helmet is completely different,why are the faces locked in seperate grey canisters,where is angry´s anger? where is crazy´s craze? The rest of him BETTER look real good.

Awesome!
I just hope the paint will be better on the final product, other than that, just wow.
Why doesn't he just upload more pics of that toy?

Not too shabby. I just wish he looked a little angrier. I’m going to have to dig up my original Blitzwing for a side-by-side comparison.

Looks like a prototype, maybe.

I'm still optimistic about this figure.

Love him!

I'm liking this a lot. My only quibble is that the space in the helmet is a little too wide.

Reminds me of the face switching gimmick of 90's Morbius: http://www.marveltoys.net/single.php?figure=315&v=abcdefghijklmn

Wonder how they will switch the faces, with a switch or something? Maybe a knob?

Now then, where's the rest of the figure!

It looks like there is a black dial below the head that you rotate.

I van't zat blitzving now. I also want to see the rest of the toy he looks great.

I am glad we were finally showed Blitzwing's face(s). This is one toy I know that I am buying.

However why did the photographer tease us like this! I want to see the rest of him

Whoa I thought they we going to ruin him but he looks great

80% of the replies to this on the first page were complaints. You guys are so funny. Millions of dollars go into this for tooling and design, all of us wanted this toy. And yet you still complain

It's what collectors do. That's why there are forums to share our opinions, and frustrations.

Everyone will probably say it is the coolest thing since sliced bread when they see the whole thing. Give it time.

More like Man E Faces of Masters of the Universe. Love the Blitzwing toy so far. I would definitely get this toy when it comes out. Good job!

Wow.

His tank face could be better, and I would like a crazier-looking Kremzeek face, but it's nice!

I love it. I want to see more of it.

A Blitzvink toy vit sree fazes? Zat's crazy!

Jah. Blitzvink's is a must buy in mey leest. Ze head gimmick is very cool.

Looks interesting enough. I was wondering how they would pull off the gimmick. Not too bad.

Wunderbar!

Es ist Schoene!

So far so good. I’ll reserve final judgment till I see the rest of him though.

Millions? I know making new molds costs a good sum, but I didn’t think millions.

I want it to be good, and I will buy it - but I'm just afraid that they've compromised the design to make it sort of fit in with both animated and classics, while it would have been better staying faithful to one style or another. Waiting for final figure, whole body pics...

i liek them but the first face coudl show more of the teeth with the missing gap in the front.

plastic that the heads are made out of lloks like the kind i see on my dragonballz, and megaman modle figures face looks so cheap and dull while the colors on the other bot faces are bright and not so cheap plastic looksing like to see more of this figure when its released tank and jet mode alike

I don't think it's that good... do like the monocle though.

Exactly what I was thinking...only minus the excitement. Maybe his chest will have that awesome He-Man/Skeletor battle armor gimmick where the chest has a spinning deal to make slash marks, too.

That's awesome!

The faces are done a lot better than I thought they would!


Can we see the rest now?

Glad to see that he'll be released with that gimmick, but I also hope that each face will be improved for the final figure.
The first needs a slightly different, maybe more purple-ish color.
And yeah, a more aggressive expression would be nice.
Even if this isn't totally show accurate, imo it'll still look better.
The second (crazy) face needs an even more dynamic shape for the mouth, almost to the point of being out of proportion, just to capture the craziness of that persona.
I'm actually okay with the 3rd one for the most part... Maybe a less "surprised" expression would be better.

I definitely agree that there's too much space around the faces under the "helmet".
You don't want it to be rubbing around, but that's a pretty big gap...
It'll be nice if that gets fixed as well.

This figure has a ton of potential.
Hopefully it delivers.

I prayed for Blitzwing, and he has arrived!
{SWITCH HEADS}
Hmmm. The heads look okay, but seem to be produced of inferior plastic, and the deluxe size reaally shows..
{SWITCH HEADS}
What! This is terrible! He is a tiny little mug! I hope it will lock in place so all can gaze upon his majesty! but where is his Majesty? WHERE?
{SWITCH HEADS}
OOH, it looks veal nice though, i just can't vait! I'm soo excited! I just can't hide it! And I can't liiiiive if liiviiing is viithout BLIITZVIIINNG!
{SWITCH HEADS}
Yep, a truly brillig figure. The Autobots i need to balance my collection can wait, Blitzwing is my new top priority!

looking sweet

i love it
the red face looks awesome i gotta get this

well, this may be the one animated toy i buy

Looks cool.

From the pictures - does anyone want to take a guess if this is a Deluxe or Voyager class? I'm guessing a deluxe.

Nice!

Now all we need to know is how the faces are changed... do you turn the faces individually, or does it switch when you push the head down or something?

He's a voyager people.

It's been said at least twice we had a story on size classes a week or so ago and Blitzwing was listed as a voyager.

It looks like there's a black dial under the head that you move to make the head rotate - you can sort of see it at the bottom of the pic.

I want to see more of this figure, the faces look so... mediocre, hopefully they will be better when the finished product is released, Blitzwing is by far my favorite Decepticon from TF: Animated.
