    I've had absolutely no problems with mine. Just don't treat it like a cheap hasbro toy and you should be fine.
    And, yes, she's definitely worth owning if you're thinking you're interested. One of the best looking figures I have, and an evil fembot to boot.

    Just look at that profile! That is how you do a fembot face sculpt!

    Mine was badly flawed; a spider leg basically was defective and fell off. There's no way to repair it.

    And yes, it was babied.

    I sold mine a few months ago for $125 shipped. After seeing how people are getting $180 for her I shoulda waited a few more months, lol. Ah well, still got back a little more than I paid for her and in the tf collecting game I suppose that's a win.

    I had this for a birthday present..opened it up, and one of the legs was superglued on(it was obviously broken previously) sent it back to exchange and the new set had a pistol missing..

    Contacted the seller and asked for the pistol but he refused to give me one..offering a full refund instead..so sadly not fated to own her..but shes an awesome toy to boot

    You know, she was, at one point, sitting on my shelf with the SG Junkions... but I may have to move her over to the DJD group whenever I pull them all out of storage.

    Really wishing they'd reissue Aranea. She's so expensive on the aftermarket now for what looks to be an awesome bike/spider/bot.

    Still an awesome figure. Really need to get my PE bots together (Lio Convoy, Fort Max, and her).

    Total and complete agreement.

    All of these have aged extremely well in terms of both look AND articulation. Hell, there's even ab crunch. With 100% accessory storage in alt. Mode even I can't think of anything more I'd ask in a toy released today besides parts on them being a bit fragile.

    Perfect Effect was really ahead on their time with these.

    Yeah, they're fragile and don't stand for too much handling after a while. One of my spiderlegs snapped off at the base.

    If only it wasn't a mixed bag of awful tolerances. Ugh. I loved this thing to death since it's beautiful and articulate, but couldn't mess or transform it for fear of snapping something. I had to hollow out every peg so it wouldn't snap and the torso joint and chest eyes ended up popping out. I still want to pick one up and try again with the luck of the draw. She's still the Queen of Fembots. I cold use an improved reissue right about now PE.

    The better solution would be a KO with improvements and being half the price

    this best describes her, she is def one of my fav and her awesome creation earned her a seat at my dark counsel, i also have the blue one but they pale in comparison to Arena her best showing of any medium imho better than she looked as a spider and way better than her helio look
