    Only a 3rd party reseller is offering it (as of this post), and only ships to local/Japan.

    You can just keep watching the listing: https://www.amazon.co.jp/タカラトミー-TAKARA-TOMY-トランスフォーマー-マスターピース/dp/B088CBY6R9

    This was on Facebook and gave me a chuckle...

    Then I thought about it more and was like...

    That's not bad. The colors and molding are all messed up but the shape is much better.

    Being a woman myself, I can honestly say that Arcee's breast plate is at tummy level. For me, between the higher set giant backpack and tummy level breast plate, it throws off the aesthetical balance of the figure. The man hands do not help, either.
    Then there are the three faces with the same expression. I'm not even going to say what that expression looks like to me :lol 

    Again. I'm happy for those who are excited to add her to their collection. She's just one of the very few MPs I'm choosing to pass on.

    Don’t you know, all breasts are at tummy level.

    Congratulations on being our first Known female misogynist here, we have some robust characters on this board.

    So cool coming to this thread every few hours to check for AJP preorder just to find a bunch of dudes arguing about what lady breasts look like.

    Guys did any body order from AJP? I'm getting that it won't ship to me so won't let me order.

    It’s a 3P seller, not AJP themselves. Give it a couple of days.

    Funny thing, all this verbal hits on the gal (your right and all of that), Arcee has already gone "gold". Iirc that term pertains to videogames already set for distribution. Unlike videogames which accepts updates if buggy, MP51 Arcee ( all 5K + units or maybe 10K ) ARE all assembled, transformed and packed. Ready for distribution once shipped from China or Vietnam.

    Misassembly or material sturdiness issues not withstanding, all the huffing and puffing means zilch now! Just wait for the 3rd party to sell the upgrades! :lol 

    Reminds me of Twitter again.............

    Yes. Amazing how such a small change improves it dramatically. I’d preorder that for sure.

    Is that what's been happening? I'm just skipping the chatter and CTRL+F for "AJ" and "Amazon." I'm a bit surprised that it still hasn't shown up there yet.

    When I look at this, I just wonder if my tiny Spike and Carly figures can sit inside.
