IGear messed up on this one. They should have made the Arcee, that's not their Arcee, cheaper than the one that's out now. I would have definitely bought it then, but at 100, I'm just going to hope that Hasbro wasn't playing with us when they said they would make more fems. Hopefully we get WFC Arcee if they won't give us a G1 one. Edit--- Oh, If that's the real masterpiece than never mid. That's a lot bigger than I thought it was, and sadly, for me that makes it a no purchase. I just want an Arcee for my classics.
Isn't this that figure that was made by a fan? He was trying to get it mass produced. Must have gone through Igear to get it done. I thought they were talking about it at a 3rd party dinner during SDCC. Anyway, $98 is way too much for me. Hopefully the Hasbro Arcee rumors come true.
I think that's just iGear's downsized "Faith leader". It has the different sculpt head and the lack of paint on the parts that were originally die cat on the real MP Convoy. I think the Autobot symbol is something they stuck on there. It's a lot thicker than the real one, And the head is different. The real ones doesn't have "ears" positioned like that. Also, because Faith Leader is all-plastic, there's no paint on his legs and upper torso. Those parts are glossy shiny with paint on the real MP toy.
Looks nice wonder if the back of the box with other fembots is a hint to future projects which would be pretty damn awesome if so.
Faith Leaders sold within China included an additional emblem you could attach yourself. Head's a dead give-away that it is indeed Faith Leader, thus Delicate Warrior is about Deluxe. I also think the wheels should've been recessed a bit more~ What's wrong with Arcee being a low rider?
I want this!!! They would announce this the day after I got my two TRNS-01's in the mail yesterday. Delicate Warrior looks much more poseable especially with her Ben Wa display stand. I guess I will wait and see how the quality ends up on this one. Does anybody know if the Igear store charges you upfront on pre-orders or if they are like BBTS and do nto charge until it is about to ship? I couldn't find an answer on their site.
IMO this actually looks much better-proportioned than the insanely tiny-armed TRNS-01. It still ain't worth it, though.
meh, pass. I'm good with my Animated Arcee anyways. I don't really have the cash to fork out for a deluxe.
If that is the normal Masterpeice Prime it's next to, then hell yeah! I'd go for that. If not, then ehhhhh. I'll just keep lookin' for Animated Arcee for now. EDIT: Defintely NOT the regular size masterpeice. Looking closely at the head and the style of sculpting for the details, that is the Faith Leader. Pass. I mean, nigh-masterpeice-level engineering in that small body? That's amazing, but not $100 amazing. $30? In a heartbeat. $50? Pushing it, but I'd bite. $100? No freaking way.
