Slipstream is a beauty!
And blackie... man, what a rack!

I pulled the trigger on Slippy last week. Knightbird last night as soon as I saw the prototype shots (ya, I was up late).
I'm not gonna go for Blackarach just cause, but MAN, she does look AWESOME!

Beyond that, though, with combiner wars on the horizon for another year, and no job, my budget is extremely limited.
Thanks for the link though

Above Y 8000, automatic registered sal.
Paypal automatically converts the cost. Assuming you have linked your CC to PayPal. CC, same method of conversion, just punch it the amount in Yen and the system converts it.

Ah! I see, not too sure what a sal is, but everything else makes complete sense now, thanks

I find when posing her, just start with her foot stance and get her thighs in a solid position and work from there, it takes a bit more time than, say, posing MP10, but its still quite do-able.

They have a rough estimate scale in the front of their website. A bit to the buttom. And depends on the weight of the item of course.
Hope "Marvin" won't get flustered with this exchange we are having.

Now maybe I just have a steadier hand when posing her, but I've never had a problem with her collapsing. Windblade has never collapsed on me, unless I bump the table she's displayed on.

Meaning, we just can't please everyone. And, colorwise, TT's version floors the competion. Having the advantage of being released later I suppose.

No I didn't. The reviewer who did one for the Hasbro version was quite heavy on her. Given the body type of SS, either way there'd be som compromises in the design.
Also, wished her leg joints were ratched so as to give a more stabilized pose but then again......size constraints and design...pbeing a female archetype, those curves are a headache to design and still make it into a jet.(Also wished her rear wheels were retratable)

BBTS still has the arcee/chromia pack in stock, so if you don't have chromia, and need arcee, its a great option.
As for Slipstream, with nothing to base her on (canon-wise) other than war for cybertron, it seems like an easy thing to make a Slipstream figure; on the other hand this mold really fits for her, she's a seeker, but not a repaint of a seeker mold, so it's kinda refreshing; I love the Windblade mold and would love to get this figure.

There's also a version of her in TFA. But no figure was made except for the Prime FE Starscream convention limited figure iirc.

I know, she seems to have been created accidentally, or something, and now exists to get another repaint of the seekers (cuz there haven't been enough of those) but I think this might be a nice start to an actual Slipstream character, that, and being a primary character in a show/ comic.
Heck, I'd be down for her being a stand-in leader whilst the Decepticons wait for Megatron to return (ala Prime).

But I just got that expensive exclusive FE Slipstream :s
Anyway, can never have to many Slipstreams right?
Hope they make a solid Voyager Seeker mold in the future & repaint/remold the hell out of it.
I love the Armada Seeker mold, why don't they update that? Better hip articulation, stronger upper arms, lose or simplify the gimmick. Make a non-remold Skywarp.
I miss the solid hard plastic of the Unicron Trilogy.
Today's plastic is so thin & feels like butterpackage plastic -_-
Combiner Wars is going in the right direction, still Megatron compared to, say Defense/Vanguard Red Alert is a big difference.
Hasbro, Y U NO use the good plastic???
Fall of Cybertron Grimlock has TERRIBLE plastic

Maybe because the Armada seeker is way too masculine in overall design.
As for the FOC figures and some Prime ones, yeah, thin hollow plastics were thin and hollow.

Blackrarachnia, beautiful paintjob and fantastic head, but, and I find this ironic, by giving her boobs, they made her waist freakishly small. Enh, I really wanted this one, but judging by the figure here, skip.
Slipstream, solid buy, I got to have her. Kind of wish they'd given her seeker style wings, but alas, I can put up with VOTL ones.

She went to toys r us and got him the G1 version instead.
Anyway, Takara were bang out of order for not making enough this year and/or not restricting some of the toys for kids only. It's not a collectors' show like winner festival. It's a kids' event.

The only thing off about her deco is the use of translucent effects for her chest.

What's wrong with a female to wear translucent things?
