Repost from otca.com.au Name – Arcee Series - Generations Size/class - Deluxe New/remould/redeco - New Wave - 5 Released here – Not yet Approximate Retail Price - $17.00US Approximate Size – 13cm Allegiance - Autobot Alt-mode – Cybertronian Cruiser Main Features/Gimmicks – G1 Arcee, Femmebot Main Colours – Pink, White, Black Main Accessories – Dual blades and two guns DISCLAIMER I know these are cruddy phone pics, but if you thought I was going to buy a decent DSLR just to do toy reviews, then you probably didn't understand the situation. Robot Mode A good representation of G1 Arcee, although she is carrying most of her alt mode on her back. Her articulation is impressive with a large range of motion in her arms and legs, aprovimately 70° at her elbows and knees. There is no waist movement or wrist rotation. Attachment points on her thighs, forearms and backpack for her weapons. Light-piping for her eyes. She feels a bit frail but I didn't notice any fragile areas. There is a double joint on her hips that is a bit loose. Cybertronian Cruiser Mode It looks like G1 Arcee's cruiser mode. Her weapons can attach to any socket. It doesn't roll particually well tho. Transformation Reasonably straight forward, but there were a few tricky areas like folding her arms down and getting the rear of the cruiser to line up. Transforming from cruiser to robot was much easier. Overall This is the G1 Arcee we have been missing for 30 years.
She looks awesome! And the pink is great too! Cadillacs look great in pink, so why no futuristic racer?
Still unimpressed. She's mostly backpack and that face is too friendly to be IDW and she's the only interesting G1 Arcee I know.
Huh so the lower kibble can fold up better than seen in previous pics. Still don't like how the front half of the car is one giant piece on her back but she seems a little less crappy than I was expecting. Wish they'd put some of the car kibble on her lower legs, think that would have helped a lot.
Ugh, that looks awful. A backpack-former, terrible color scheme and based on the cartoon, rather than the much cooler IDW version of the character featured in the pack-in comic. I'll pass on this and just wait for MMC Azalea.
Not as good as the IGear version, but for the price I think they did a pretty good job. Wish the front of the car was not all one piece, but it's passable. I'll definitely pick it up when I see it.
