    Nice job, it looks noticeably better. Enough to make me go get one later on to do the same. :)  Now to find it...

    Wow... that works REALLY well. I can hardly believe that it's just a matter of painting most of the face the same colour! I like the way that although this is a much more traditional and "feminine" looking face, all the extra detail ensures the face doesn't look "out of place" with the rest of the figure, the way a totally G1 Arcee head would (though I'm sure there are a lot of people who would have preferred that).

    Initially, I was indifferent to this figure... but more and more I think I want it. This simple mod just upgraded her to "must have" status. Cool!

    Which means if I go back to any of the stores that had her before, she will suddenly be sold out of course. Grrr. Really starting to regret not picking her up when I saw her for sale.
