Yeah, if the only G1 MPs we got for the next few years were Movie/s3 characters, I'd be a happy 41 yr old man and the inner 7 yr old in me would pretty much explode! Still lurking, still loving these figures, just super busy trying to draw as much as I can. Hope you're well, my brother!
...i like that you threw the gradient across her windshield, even though it doesn't properly align with the sun direction: i did something similar for the pseudo-reflection across the autobot sigil i superimposed on my avatar...
What is that in reference to? Yeah it’s bothered me since the pictures hit the web, just a small “fix” to me.
That visor look is absolutely one of my favourites. Robot Kingdom has her for an “OK” price, but it’s such a gamble knowing who to preorder with when international air freight is so unpredictable now, let alone when she’s due for release. Living in NZ has its perks, but maintaining the old collection from here is definitely a bit of a gamble at the moment haha.
Damn, that short of all three looks great! Her chest is a little low, I agree, but who cares when the figure overall is just so nice. Might I have to buy?...not sure, my QC senses are tingling. But she sure looks like the MP I always wanted of this iconic chatacter.
Looking at the Generations figure, both this one and the MP have similar chests. It's the MP's bigger collar that makes the chest seem lower. I like to imagine the collar piece as a scarf. Once I did that, the MP started looking better to me.
I liked the Generations figure (I had the TT Legends figure and sold her a while back), and I’m warming to MP-51 now.
Arcee being the "Muse" who got him the gig at Takara Addendum: General focus on the rest of the naysayers and not to you daimchoc Issues about her breast plate again, I wonder if 3rd party can ever fix that if its design runs in conjunction with the entire car structure. Can it be detached and replaced? Will they get the colors right? I fear that if the breast is the deal breaker here then you have no choice but to walk away from such a cruddy product. By November, everything will stabilize so no worries. And there's nothing all the huffin' and puffin' can do 'cause she's already being packed and shipped.
Looks like they took the Thrilling 30 Arcee and upgraded it instead of just upscaling it and adding Diecast like Wei Jang did with their Alcee. Wonder If we'll get an Alcee 2.0. I can see from the pictures that instead of the Front of the Collar flipping up like on the Thrilling 30 release, the entire Collar flips up now. That why it's so long therefore making the chest seem lower.
Kapow has Arcee listed at £130!! No idea what they're thinking there. Transformers Masterpiece MP-51 Arcee - Kapow Toys
They're both way overpriced then for whatever reason. Retail is ¥2k less than Hound and they're selling Arcee for about the same. Not that I'd consider it unless AJ does the same sort of 50% drop they did with Hound briefly.
