    It is a brand that they are reissuing some of their former figures when they worked for toyworld

    That's fantastic. I'm looking through the thread and thinking this came out nice in the body, but I just always hated the head. And a bad head is a deal breaker for me (looking at you, Big Spring) but your head is awesome, I love it, and thats a great looking Arcee.

    The Zeta-Ex version has a metallic paint job I take it?

    Yes, you are right. According to Zeta’s Weibo page, their Arcee will come with the metallic paint job and I can definitely see lipstick on the prototype. But then again the Toyworld’s prototype also had lipstick...

    Hm. Interesting. I'll still pass unless they improve the mold. Better head, fix the abdomen and oh let's see.... THE ALT MODE!

    Really, though, this figure was never to my taste. Out of scale with other MP figures and terrible alt mode. It'd take some major changes to get me to switch my preorder from Fanstoys.

    It's a placeholder figure honestly. Bot mode (with some mods) make it pretty good but still it's not going to hold up to any other companies Arcee IMO.

    glad some people like the new metallic version but I find it hideous and like the original version with mods. FT Rouge is nice but too small for my tastes

    Yeah I am not down at all with the gaudiness of over-chroming and metallic stuff.

    Original + blue eyes + lip stick = perfect placeholder for me for the time being.

    I agree, i prefer white (instead of Silver) and normal pink like TW (instead of Metallic) for my Arcee team.

    That said, maybe the metallic version from Zeta would go well with my FT Dibots X version if i dont have my MP Arcee team there too.... but i need to see improved hands, and fantastic price to even consider, as the TW is doing the job for me, and the colors are great.

    I love the metallic paint. It could stand to be toned down just a little, but it's much better than the plain colors. I just don't think it's enough. Slap a shiny coat of paint on a piece of crap and you've got a shiny piece of crap. I'm loving Zeta's aerialbots, but I hated most of Toyworld's releases. If Zeta really wants to push the Zeta ex thing, they should work on fixing the problems in Toyworld's figures.

    My favorite Arcee paintjob would be a combination of the pearlescent white from IF's Pink Assassin (metallic but not as strong as the Zeta ex pic), and the pearlescent pink from Wei Jiang's Alcee (though maybe a slightly lighter shade of pink). I still kinda' like Zeta's strong metallic white and pink though. I mean it's a little too strong but it actually still looks pretty damn cool.

    Thanks, glad you like it! It makes a huge difference. It's enough of an improvement that she's no longer a placeholder to me.

    The head is too small. If someone made a really good head for this I would pay whatever they ask

    Man, it looks so much better than the ToyWorld version but I really wish they didn't make it metallic - it doesn't really match anything else and will probably chip easier (or at least look worse when it does so).
