    I haven't visited Jizaitoys in quite a while, but the first thing that appeared on the home page is this:

    My God, can you imagine if Hasbro announced this as their Generations Arcee?

    A little further down is a different model Arcee that looks better sculpted. But the face seems a little... puckered?

    The face does seem pucker but I would give the award for the worst 3rd party Arcee to Delicate Warrior in a heartbeat. It is the only figure i have ever returned to BBTS in my life as the QC was just horrible.

    Honestly, clean up the head and I could see Hasbro doing a legion class Arcee that looked like that. Heck it would be their most G1 accurate Arcee to date.

    I think you mean the TRNS-01-Valkyrie is the worst . Delicate Warrior is the the MGT-01 sold by iGear. The Delicate Warrior is actually the only decent Arcee out there and I don't think BBTS carried it. However, the Valkyrie was a QC nightmare.

    pretty much, I just noticed the other day that my Valkyrie was missing a wheel, i never even noticed it since i had never transformed her. Its gotta by the worst 3p figure ever: floppy as hell, cheap plastic, cannot stand or strike a pose for dear life. In retrospect i wouldn't even pay 10$ for the figure.

    The second one looks like nightmare fuel.

    The first one reminds me of Betty White for some reason.

    BBTS did carry Delicate Warrior for a short time.

    The first one looks like she used Homer Simpson's makeup gun.

    I believe the first one is the World's Smallest TF version of Arcee.

    You are correct. I am trying to block the experience out of my mind.

    I think that's right. Macro-scale photos of tiny things always look way worse than the actual item.

    iGear Arcee is the only Arcee, end of discussion.

    iGear never made an Arcee figure. They only distributed it for the actual maker.

    Either way the Delicate Warrior is 99% perfect IMO. The only problem I have with here is that I want another one, but at $110 a pop I don't think it will happen. Also the Shadow Assassin (Nightbird ) was by the same guy I heard. That was perfect too.
