    I intend to put her on my MMC/IDW shelf, she looks about the right size.

    There are already pictures of someone in baidu making a 3D printed head, seems very close to the design. Not sure if it's a customizer or any commercial plans.

    For those wanting size comparisons (MP-10, Generations Springer and Arcee), Youtube "Ray Siow Nicee". Not linking it here because the reviewer couldn't resist putting scandalous shots in the video. He also half-assed the transformation as the figure is fully painted and he didn't want to risk damaging it.

    I think just custom design, since it doesn't seem to be based on the actual tooling that BFB had (and scrapped). A bit closer to some of the initial renders and sketches, maybe, with a more mature jawline. The final sculpt had more of a puffy-cheeked "kawaii" look to it.

    Bafflingly, this just surfaced; good news for people who may want to produce conversion parts to give her a more adult, less-anime face and a more accurate helmet crest, (and also hopefully a visor) but it also totally negates the need for the second head that comes in the packaging... unless it’s there solely to fill a now-empty spot in the clamshell.

    I’m willing to bet the cat-faceplate was maybe meant to be included the whole time. So maybe Arcee did get yanked at the last minute, sometime after the box layout was complete. Infuriatingly, that might mean the head was produced, but will now never be released.

    Well, I know mods probably don't want links posted here and whatnot, but after seeing a bunch of videos yesterday,
    I'm firmly convinced that this may be one of the greatest figures in my whole collection once it gets to my hands.

    Absolutely loving everything about it. Yes, it's erotic and sexy, but I don't think they did anything "over the top" on that end,
    I think it's actually quite normal and tasteful, tbh. And not trying to act like I'm all thirsty over here, but I would love this series to continue.

    In addition to the list in my last post, it also occurred to me (though a long shot) that a Dinobot Slash in this line would be nuts.

    But yeah, hoping for Windblade, Chromia or Blackarachnia next...

    BigFireBird, you guys are the best! :bowdown: :rock :bay

    Check out ‘Fansproject Comera’, it’s pretty much what you’re looking for.
    I think she’s still available at TFSource

    As fine as it was back when it's released, that figure hasn't age that well with the limited posability. Would be nice to have a larger, even more stylized version of that character though.

    If BF were smart they would release an add-on set for Nicee that would include:

    1) Arcee head with additional red “binoculars” face
    2) additional faces for their Nicee head
    3) additional pistol
    4) additional sword
    5) additional arrows for the “crossbow”
    6) a rifle
    7) alternate shield with attached cannon so vehicle mode can be weaponized
    8) additional posing hands*
    9) blast effects*

    * added due to suggestion by @Friendross

    Additional posing hands and blast effects are always popular with the kids

    Caved in and ordered her from Terry, luckily, someone cancelled and got one for ~$84.37. That design is just too cool.

    Chinese review is up on youtube, but for some the reason he painted the lips/mouth red so it's kinda distracting lol. I had to go back to BFB twitter to see some other in-hand images so to reconfirm that it does come with unpainted lips/mouth.

    She's actually smaller than I expected, bot mode stands at MMC O-Max Azalea's height, but alt mode the size of Toyworld Leia.

    Hope this means that my Nicee that I've ordered off of Amazon will arrive soon or at least around this month.
