Like I said on cybertron.ca, if you're not sure about a $98 figure not being able to stand on its own, you should look at the $200-300 DX Aquarion by Bandai.  

 

G2....my friend....G2...now i got to go look through my boxes of transformers comics to find that comic....man i hate being a transformers nerd.....j/k....

 

I think a stand is the way to go with a G1 Arcee figure. Having high heels doesn't really make for a very stable figure (just ask Barbie). This definitely looks better than Valkyrie but a few things are off about it: the visible screws (and big screws at that), the marshmallow arms, and the pushed-up-too-much-bra sculpt (they should really find a way to make that front panel collapse or fold down so her "breasts" are in a more aesthetically pleasing position).

 

ya ive seen i on another transformer site under fan art.... hell it might even be on this one as well...

 

and i have that thing...its heavy as all hell...but a cool fig non the less..but the over the top stand to get it to stay standing up is RE-DONK-Q-LUS..so i c no problem paying 100 for this....i just want it to b better than the valk one....than i shall order one...

 

Personally I think this looks great. Like, really great. Way better than the Valkyrie.

But it doesn't blow me away enough to make me want to drop a hundred bucks.

 

I'll happily take a seat to watch this thing flop...  
I'm more than happy to wait for the upcoming Hasbro Arcee.

Though I must admit, the anal beads are an original touch.
They should give her a pistol dildo and pink fluffy handcuffs while they're at it!

 

And I have 2 of those.  

 

EXACTLY WELL SAID, Im a huge ko collector, but for 100.00 for a 15.00 small toy? I will wait for now.

 

If it wasn't $100 I'd buy it.

 

I hate how distracting that is for me even though she does look really cool.

 

why do so many guys on here know what love beads are ?   j/k lol

 

Yeah, that artwork belongs to TFW member SupremeCheetor. He use to post here years ago, but has been inactive here and on Deviant Art for years now. There is a good chance they did not contact him.

 

What are love beads? Are they like a braclet?..................................

 

Blah, animated Arcee is good enough for me. And it only cost me $10. I'd still like to see this and that other one in a side by side comparison.

 

I'll just repeat the basic "Looks nice, but not something I'd want to drop that kind of money on" combined with "I think I'm burned out on new toys based on that Botcon Japan design." with just a dash of "I'm not sure I want to support anything related to iGear."

If someone made a transforming toy that looked like Yuujin-Mikeru's Avatar & Sig, however...  

 

Man, She looks great!   A smooth, clean paintjob, A great sculpt but the only slight concern is that she may have stability-issues. $98? Why not!  

 

"Delicate Warrior"? Whoever named this figure has obviously never read Spotlight: Arcee.  

 

oh look, igear was actually ORIGINAL for once

never have i seen a 3rd party company make anal beads for a transformer toy
