Who do you choose the Star Sisters or the Wind Raider?

**cbomb23** · January 20, 2012, 09:32am

So if given the choice of either the Star Sisters or the Wind Raider which would you choose? This will be a choice between the Star Sisters or the Wind Raider, whichever you like better. With the recent news that the Star Sisters "outsold" the Wind Raider, people seem to think that this means the Star Sisters are more popular than the Wind Raider, is this the case? Did the Star Sisters outsell the Wind Raider because of the subscription, or just straight up on day of sales purchases? So let your voice be heard as to which item you like more!

I love the Wind Raider but overall for my collection if I had to chose one I would stick with the Star Sisters, been waiting for them for 20 years

Figures >>>>>> Vehicles I have no room for, that will not change

I would rather 3 packs and figures be something I am forced to buy every month.

Wind Raider.

I really don't care who outsold who. Same for the "sales were ok" WR "issue". The reasons why i'd take the WR over the SS is simply because i'm a nostalgic at heart and i love flying vehicles.

For me its the WR all the way....not a POP fan at all really .. im good w just she-ra and bow..... id sacrifice all the remaining pop characters for the battle ram alone!!!

**Benedict Judas Hel** · January 20, 2012, 12:50pm

Wind Raider for me...no connection or desire for the Star Sisters.

**TJRules** · January 20, 2012, 02:13pm

Wind Raider. Easily. One vehicle a year rather than a 3-pack of obscure characters that are 25-32% more expensive than said vehicle? No question as to which choice.

Star Sisters > Wind Raider.

Great as it is, the Raider doesn't compare to having what-was-once-prototype figures in your hands. IMO having great figures beats a vehicle anyday.

These are the same reasons I voted for the Star Sisters.

Other than the Land Shark, I'll pick figures over vehicles all the time. Especially characters who have never been immortalized in plastic before.

The Wind Raider every day of the year. Better design,displays better plus it flies(sort of). The D-Lister's were not great figures IMO. I'm a POP fan but core POP fans didn't even care for them. Paint scheme differences,cartoon or poster look,apparent crotch issues that people are upset about.

**slackrguy** · January 20, 2012, 09:41pm

I love my Wind Raider, but I'm in camp "figures >vehicles"

**Count Marzo** · January 20, 2012, 09:55pm

I chose the Wind Raider.

I like the Star Sisters but they are nowhere near the level of importance that the Wind Raider is. The Wind Raider is an iconic vehicle that tons of people will remember from the 80s heyday. The Star Sisters appeared in a late She-Ra episode for 2 minutes and were in a 1987 Mattel catalog as prototypes that I'm sure not many people even seen back in the day. It's also $20 cheaper and a vehicle is a really cool thing for an adult collector line.

Don't get me wrong, the Star Sisters are cool but overpriced. They also couldve been better. The Wind Raider on the other hand...was perfection.

Star Sisters.
One new character always beats a vehicle in my book, let alone three of them all at once.

Don't get me wrong, I love the Wind Raider, Attack Trak, Battle Ram and Talon Fighter, but IMO rides aren't as important as characters.

So the absolute most ridiculously bad Filmation or NA cartoon character is more important than the Wind Raider and other said iconic/classic/vintage MOTU vehicles? Makes sense to me.

**Darkspecter** · January 20, 2012, 10:32pm

Star Sisters - 16
Wind Raider - 18

That's a pretty close race!

**vadersfist** · January 21, 2012, 03:20am

Windraider for sure but then again I really like the star sisters too so I guess its half and half.

**Caesar** · January 21, 2012, 03:28am

Star Sisters all the way. Characters > Vehicles imho

**Thrawn29** · January 21, 2012, 02:33pm

Figures > than vehicles. I love the Windraider, but if given the choice, I'll always add more characters to my collection first.

**Lay Ze-Man** · January 21, 2012, 02:49pm

IMO there are a LOT of characters that are less important than the Wind Raider to have a truly epic, truly MotU-ish collection.

The Star Sisters definitely fall into that category for me.

Wind Raider, without the slightest hesitation.

**Falconhood** · January 21, 2012, 03:45pm

I'm surprised that anyone chose SS>WR! WindRaider is much better.

**Whiplash7** · January 21, 2012, 03:49pm

Bizarre thread. I guess people really prefer figures?
Sorry guys but not only is the Wind Raider more important than the Star Sisters, but a number of other figures we have as well. I'd easily trade some of them in for a Battle Ram any day. And I'm talking about figures that I like.
The WEAPONS RACK is more important than the Star Sisters!

**Jean** · January 21, 2012, 04:28pm

I go with the Star Sisters because at the end of the day, I would rather have a missing piece of MOTU history than an update to something that's already been released.

**vancak** · January 21, 2012, 04:32pm

I would have rather gotten the WR in the sub instead of the SS, and I have little use for vehicles in the line, as I mostly collect MOC. Let's see if I can sell my SS, let alone get back the $73 that they cost me after shipping and taxes. Glad people that wanted them got them, but my first sub figures mean little to me.

Vehicles aren't characters. They are rides, transportation or weapons. While they might be cool, they have no personality or character. Hell, you need a character piloting the vehicle to make the vehicle relevant.

Now beasts OTOH are another story.

**Tallstar** · January 21, 2012, 06:11pm

I choo choo choose the Star Sisters.

**Mr_Yuck** · January 21, 2012, 06:17pm

As cool as the Wind Raider is, I'll always choose figures over vehicles (Well.....unless we are talking about Land Shark.....then.....

)

Seriously though, I'm glad I'm getting the Star Sisters.
