    I think this figure has like, the best cross arms pose ever. And it's so easy to do, her arms reach over her chest so well.

    If scale is what you want, I have no pics, but she comes up to the brim of Roadbuster's ball cap, and Jazz's chin.

    Oh, and she's basically Wheeljack's height, maybe a hair shorter than him.

    This has probably been pointed out already, but I just discovered FE Arcee's arm blades work with the PRID version, including attaching to the vehicle mode.

    Her arms can do that but they can't bend normally which bugs me more than the "hey cool crossed arm pose" impresses me personally.

    I'd say her elbows irk me more the back kibble because it's the arms that screw with her posing ability.

    Since her elbows and hands are on ball joints... they can.

    He means she can do a ton of poses with her elbows & wrists - but yer right that her shoulder movement is pretty limited, do to the design of her hub shoulders.

    But she's still miles better at posing than the FE in that regard...

    I can get around the shoulders. Because unlike Wheeljack or Megatron, she can move her elbows out to the side.

    Anyone else experiencing stress marks inside the cups of Arcee's balljointed elbows and wrists?

    I got her yesterday, and just from transforming her once, her elbows and wrists have worrisome amounts of stress marks. The joints are super tight on mine, which is probably the main reason for this.

    I just noticed a major flaw on this toy- she can't sit. Her freakin' motorcycle kibble gets in the way. I mean, at least with the FE you could rotate it out of the way.

    You can sure make her sit on a thin computer monitor or something because of that though. But yeah, that kinda bugs me. But with all the stuff she can do with her arms, it's easily forgiveable.

    My problem with mine are the hinges on her legs, the blue plastic. I ended up cutting some plastic to keep them from breaking. You can view the stress mark from the back.

    Ah, yeah I see what you're saying. Mine has some minor stress marks around the pin in the blue plastic, too. Nothing major for my copy, but bothersome to see, to say the least.

    Seems like the blue plastic they used on Arcee has some tolerance issues.

    I got my RID Arcee yesterday, and I love her. Nicely simple transformation yet totally effective.

    My only complaint is I would have preferred two blades and the lack of paint aps (silver or something for her exhausts etc) would have been nice. I'm hoping for a Reprolabels upgrade for her now.

    Now I'm going to find an action figure that looks good riding her. Euphemism intended.
