    It might be the picture but Arcee looks weird.

    No, I don't think it's just the picture. Got some serious shelving going on with that chest.

    MTMTE, Victory, G2, Beast Wars, Beast Wars II. Unless I've forgotten one.

    Those are all one story in Japan, I don't know that it's fair to call them sublines for MP. The only real subline I can think of is MPM but that's a whole separate line in and of itself.

    So, what price range can we expect for Arcee after Hound: $150-200 or $200-250? For now I'm happy with FT Rouge. Especially if she really looks like this:

    But we'll see.

    Edit: Pic added.

    One continuous story, sure, but the toy lines are separate. I mean it's not like marketing was planning out Beast Wars II figures when they were designing MTMTE figures. If that's unfair then I'm unfair and I'm good with it. *shrug*

    I'll be glad to have a figure that might be halfway fun to transform myself.

    I'd say the $150 price point is the new basic pricing, sadly.

    That looks so much better and it really looks like that's how she's meant to be. I'd bet that whoever set her up for the photo saw the white band around her side and assumed it was meant to match up to the white in her front so they positioned her chest wrong. There's no way it would look so good with the chest raised up and look so bad with the chest lowered if it was actually meant to be in the lower position.

    Finally another S3/Movie MP figure! I totally didn't expect Arcee to happen before Galvatron or even Springer but any new G1 MP figure will always be an exciting news for me regardless of the character. Heck, I even take a repaint G1 MP over a new MP Beast War or MP Live Movie, lol. I'm very bias, I know, hehee, can you blame me for being so nostalgia?
    Back to MP Arcee...she looks good from the glass display. But the close up image, pretty much agree with everyone in regard to the face and chest position. Alt.mode looks great. We'll find out how the face and chest look once more pictures come out and a better resolution. Meanwhile, my boy MP UM still looks great (minus the abomination butt flap) from that display group shot shot after all these years standing with Hot Rod, Arcee, Blurr, Danel/Spike Exo-Suit, etc.

    Arcee is a major character and one of the more iconic G1 Transformers.

    Yeah, it's not a flattering shot....

    Saw this earlier on FB:

    I genuinely thought someone had photoshopped the saggy looking chest for effect. I was wrong!

    Bro it’ll be a touch over $100 if you know how to shop. Also, that chest piece looks like it slides up.

    Unfortunately European retailers and European customs don't make it easier for me. ;) 

    Yeah, but not for the price of looking like my grandmother
