Via Transformers Toys Facebook group (UK based) we have our first in-hand images of the Transformers: Legacy Voyager Dirge.
Due to the scarcity of the original Earthrise Dirge, this re-release in the Legacy packaging was highly anticipated for many collectors. While many of us were expecting just a repack, we can confirm that there’s a change compared to the original release. Earthrise Dirge wings were painted black plastic while the new Legacy Dirge wings are molded in the base color, so you won’t have to worry about paint chipping.
You can still find pre-orders for Legacy Dirge via our sponsors links below. Secure you copy before it’s gone and don’t miss the second chance to get this mold.

Let's just all be glad that anyone who missed out on this is going to get another chance to get him, painted wings or not.

It's neat a few of you noticed the wings/paint in the first pictures, congratulations!!! Now move on.

Based on how he looked in photos, I figured this was the case. Glad it's confirmed.

Great news for those who didn't get the two pack. And at the same time nice that there are some differences. Paint always looks better than moulded plastic, though the latter is more durable. The paint on my Amazon Dirge looks good and I'm not one to play roughly with them, if at all.
Not a bad guess…
Not counting the Botcon version, the first classics Dirge was released in 2010 and wfc Amazon version in 2020.
2030 for the next one seems like a good guess

No kidding.

I'm glad some of you already knew about this. I hope that you can find it in your hearts to allow us plebeians the opportunity to discuss the information in peace in the thread dedicated to it and stop rubbing your obviously superior observation skills in our faces.

Well that's nice. I don't know the how the cost of painting vs working in more base plastics shake out, but the paint always felt like the bigger waste.

At the rate they care to do SS-86 Seekers, maybe we will see it by 2030.

If its not a clear canopy variant I don't care at all to double dip.

And these don't seem to be molded in gold plastic. They're just 'yellowish-tan'. If there's no metallic sparkle/flakes mixed in, then it's not going to have any issues.

Happy to get a second opportunity to add Dirge to my collection.

Maybe it's delayed until UNI
