In this video, we examine Blitzwing's impressively purple peepee and uncover untold truths about the original G1 design.
Show Notes:
Man, what a mess this video was.
When I snapped up a Legacy Blitzwing from Wally World a few weeks ago, I was absolutely excited but also felt incredibly pressured to start making the review about him.
I had some jokes ready in mind but was generally planning on going in with an open mind and possibly even defending it in some way. Until, as I note in the video, I came around to an altogether different perspective on this figure.
However the issue became how to present this information. Now typically, I have a loose formula for how to structure these videos, but something about it wasn't geling super well. I couldn't make the connection between the review proper and the info heavy dump that eventually became this video.
And that really stressed me out because it felt like the clock was ticking and I was gonna disappoint everyone by having a late video.
So I decided to just take the new info and concoct this video from it. This is probably for the best because it eases the issues I was having with the writing process as well as keeping the door open for future coverage about the figure.
But honestly, I don't think I'll review Blitzwing at this point. I think I covered most everything I wanted to say about him in this video, so unless a really dramatically different repaint or retool comes out, that's that for this mold unfortunely.
That said, I wish I had covered just how confusing this design is, because the more you look at the minutiae of the details the more strange and confusing the choices become. It really seems like whoever designed this figure either didn't know anything about the character or was taking the piss out of everyone.
