Blackwing

Blackwing is a remold of Air Raid. They have done a great job on his color scheme and head sculpt. He’s an excellent homage to Darkwing. Unfortunately, the way he is packaged bends his vertical stabilizers, and since they are made of soft plastic, there is really no way to get them back in shape. This is deplorable quality control, but then that’s what we have come to expect from Hasbro. I like that they gave him two guns, like the original, but unfortunately, they are tiny. Not sure what is with the tiny guns in Power of the Primes.

Read my review of Dreadwing, the combined form of Dreadwind and Blackwing here.

Overall: I love this toy, but I would love it more if the QC wasn’t so lousy. I will have to keep an eye out for one whose stabilizers aren’t horribly bent.

Thanks for reading!
