    It’s an incredibly slow drip but I bet even Wreck-Gar is on the table at this point. Blurr, Perceptor, Springer, and Kup are all going to happen for sure!

    I mentioned this before, but it's not that her breasts are too low, they're in the right place as evidenced by the peak which is where the nipples usually rest, the problem is the angle of the upper part of the breasts which is too low. If the top of the chest plate were brought up then it would look better.

    the shoulders/top of the torso/collar are too high too if they had lowered that part it would be perfect

    Oh, *phew*. For a moment I thought you were going to tell us that you changed your mind and that your initial opinion is wrong, and then we'd have to truss you up and interrogate you to find out what you did with the real King Nergil. And I gotta tell you man, I'm not sure I care enough about the guy to make that sort of effort ;) .

    It looks better doing poses, but that torso still looks wrong. In fact it feels like of all the Arcee's we've had, they tapped the one piece of obscure design art that did this and didn't question it for a second.

    You do realise that proportions differ from person to person, right? She may look female but I think people are saying the proportions are wrong for G1 Arcee, not that they don't make her appear human.

    I’ve been looking forward to a Masterpiece Arcee for years, and I can say that I am disappointed in that chest design. I will probably buy this figure, but it shall remain in car mode. You can do much better Takara.

    This figure just looks...bad. The bot mode is a mess, and those poses really don’t make it look any better. This thing doesn’t even look like it can stand without support.

    Glad I went with the MMC. It’s the better figure.

    I agree mostly. The nipple line is still a hair low but the main problem is the transition from the top of the chest. The proportions of Fans Toys is better for this, minus the fact that the transformation will cost you years of counseling. I do like the look of this figure better than I did. I think the face looks much better but the chest is an eye sore.

    The question I have is how much is she going to cost in todays market? Hound was $160 and that was a bit dramatic. Prime at $450.00 made me decide not to get him. Black Arachnia MP is $140.00 and pretty tiny. Do we think the price point will be around $140.00?

    Also, will we get other Fem bots based on this mold?

    We already know the price tag is ¥16,000.

    Hound was ¥18,000

    They’re not likely to use the mould for any other repaints except a Paradron Medic. It would be cool if they could figure out how to use it for another female Autobot though, for sure.

    I wonder if she's going to have ratchets or will they count on only friction for her ankles. If she'd pulling off those poses those ankles have to be rock solid to support all of her weight.
