This is my least favorite MP, by far. It is the only MP in my collection that requires a stand, otherwise she falls over. This one feels like it should have been left in the engineering oven a good while longer. Mindwipe was generally better, thankfully. Hopefully their forthcoming Cyclonus and Blitzwing will be significant steps forward in engineering and quality.

 

Sorry to hear that.

However mine stands perfectly fine, without a stand. She is also on the bottom most shelf on the detolf - the shelf that recieves the most vibrations - and hasn’t budged a half inch.

Try tightening some things or perhaps a bit of floor polish would work for you.

 

She's pretty stable here without a stand. In my case the trick was aligning her feet in a way that keeps her up. I was afraid that she'll fall down when closing my detolf, but she barely budges. She's not as stable as most of my other figures, but she's manageable.

Has everyone tried the fan mode transformation on the backpack? Really helps make this figure better

 

what is this QC? had mine since August and not noticed anything

 

Too lazy to take pics but watch this video. Skip to 13:20ish

 

The feet are tiny but the joints are good. I've had mine standing for over a month in a pretty sizable lunge stance (each leg is angled out about 45 degrees from vertical) and she's never tipped. Ironically I have her standing next to MP-28, which is the figure on my shelf that is most likely to have fallen over for no reason.

 

My case has taken a hit which saw MP28 fall over and Rouge stay up.

 

Even tho Rouge is currently my Fave Arcee I am not sure whether she will remain so after MMC releases Azalea.Unsure right now with Rouge plagued with poor qc but depending Azalea (with one early issue is her robot height,she seems to be the shortest at no taller than MP28 Hot Rod) looks decent overall.So I will wait to pass judgement when Azalea is released.

 

Dunno why but this pic really makes me want to purchase Rouge...

 

Not a fan of the alternate backpack

 

There are actually two different backpack fan-modes; one great and the other not so great imo. the one that uses the hood two hold the 2 pieces of backpack in place is superior to the one that de-transforms the backpack and plugs the pieces together.

 

I tried one of the fan modes, I guess it makes it more stable, but personally I'm fine with regular mode. It's not loose enough to cause me any problems, not like I'm shaking her around.

All in all, I think she's fantastic. Transformation is a bit scary and possibly overcomplicated, but making an Arcee that looks this great in robot and vehicle mode AND doesn't partsform AND has a sane transformation is genuinely difficult. It's possible one day another 3P will beat Rouge but for now she's king of the heap (queen?).

Looking forward to MMC's effort though. Always room for more pink!

 

neither is better than the other.
while wedging the hood between some slits in the back pods looks cleaner, it's not very solid.
plugging the pods together looks a bit messy from above, but it's a sturdier connection and lets you avoid one of the more questionable transformation steps.

 

I like the deformation mod because it allows for the rifle to be held on her back

 

Kapow has her on sale for £62.97. So I went ahead and ordered her. Guess I'm getting sucked back MP again after all  

 

Yaaaaaas! Yaaaaaaaaaaassss!! Welcome back!
