thanks.. that's the reason why i bought 2 arcees.. one to open and one to keep misb.. i posted this "oddity" to check if there were others who got the same.. now, i am still looking for a closed-hands version.. hehehe
Man, I can't put swords in her hands. It's just not the Arcee thing to do. The Takara deco is pretty good. I definitely prefer it over the Hasbro attempt.
I'm tempted to get the takara version because to me it's the G1 sunbow version. While the Hasbro version is the IDW character.
^That's just wrong. ...and Yes, I've read everything IDW published for Transformers but it's still wrong.
Apparently your cat likes arcee too. i agree it is one of my favorite figures too and g1 arcee is all I care about as well. the swords never made it out of the ties in the package. they are still there wanting to be free but never will. I never removed the large gun from the package either as the small gun from the 86 movie is the only one I display her with.
Yup. The short 86 gun is all she gets. Kitty was saying that it was time to stop playing with toys so I could give her scratches. Arcee likes tall men.
Thanks. I'm frustrated that I no longer have an SLR and lights, but it's fun to push a cell phone camera and flash...
i was lucky enough to finally get my hands on arcee (quagmire gigitty) through a bbts 2 pack purchase with a buddy of mine since i know the luck of finding her out in the wild is now long gone. wow....wow....wow.... she is just plain flipping awesome!!!!! her articulation, her look, her feel, the guns (even the doppy swords things), the transformation, the pink! beautiful! those who are still in the need of one, run the bbts route and find a buddy to go half if they need a chormia. arcee is great and i think that she has permenatly earned a spot on my "best of" shelf. oh and if peeps are wondering, bbts sent me the open hands version so that is what they may have all around in the warehouse.
Yep, I'm on the Acree bandwagon and like everybody is saying she's great. My figure unfortunately has the piece of plastic that prevents her weapons to go down further, but hopefully I'll fix that...yay..projects.
Question: is this figure ever going to make it back into stores, or am I resigned to paying double for her online now? I live in the LA area and have never seen anything from this wave.
Answer: Probably. The cheapest I found on eBay was $29 with free shipping, which is as much as the Japanese version without shipping, but it is used. Transformers Arcee Generations 100 Complete with Paperwork | eBay
