    Yep good lord I just found it.

    There's really only one thing I have on my mind at this point.

    Look, as a heavy anime guy myself, even I say that this is a bit too much of a cross-pollination of that and Transformers.

    The body of Nicee can be called that, but honestly I say it's closer to riding the line but not nowhere crossing it. Hell, there's a fucking mousepad out there of a similar light that i'd say rides the line even closer if it doesn't cross it. I'm not posting that here, you guys can have fun searching.

    But dare I say, aside from the outright reason why I won't post it here and I may be kicking myself in the future for even mentioning it in the first place, the design of Arcee shown on that is something in comparison to this that i'd jump towards faster than this. Nicee still looks great though (I say this overlooking the... "certain parts" of the figure, I have standards. The normal head for it actually looks really nice from what i've seen.)

    Ok thanks everyone, I mean for me, it's a depiction of the robot and there are no clear graphic parts... not sure what everyone was freaking out about before but anyhow.... thanks again :)

    My Nicee showed up today. She is easily the most aesthetically pleasing robit I own. She feels top shelf. No issues noted other than her neck and her upper left knee joint being pretty tight. And that little plastic sheet between her chest and torso ripped right outta there no problem. I paid $83 at Show.Z...totally worth it. Now that I have her in-hand, she feels like a bargain...especially next to MP BA who cost $20 more and isn’t as pretty. And, I now have minimal need or desire for the MP Arcee...unless they fix her issues or I decide I need someone to stand in as Nicee’s granny...lol.

    As opposed to the ones who were groping the official MP BlackArachnia. Degenerates will be degenerates no matter what female toy is put in their hands.

    There are 'art' which could make one gouge one's eyes out if your search filter is not working.

    Note: I added a teeny bit of silicone shock oil to a few of Nicee’s joints that needed it and it fixed her right up. They are great now. I’m so glad this release seems to be going so well. Hopefully everybody has good luck with her. I also hope this figure is indicative of the quality and ingenuity we can expect in future releases by BFB. I’m impressed!

    She has an alternate squishy chest piece if you have any doubt what demographic they were aiming for. Also, take a close look at the panel lining in her crotch area and tell me they didn't know what they were doing when they designed it (and please don't make any graphic language references to it - it's enough to acknowledge that it's there and move on). I love this figure and I don't think it's as bad as some people make it out to be but let's not pretend that it's completely innocent and that the pervs are only seeing what they want to.

    Man, I just can't get over how well done and amazing this figure is :D 
    In addition to my comments the other day, (page 27) the shoulder joints on mine started getting really tight and making that high-pitched squeak/clicking noise
    just trying to rotate (POM on POM...) but I added some silicone oil which I highly recommend and now it's perfect :thumbs2: 

    I know these get a lot of heat from people who are sensitive to overtly sexual or sensual designs, but I love the aesthetic,
    the way the lines all meet and are crisply sculpted, I definitely think I'm "all in" on whatever girls BFB wants to release in this "EX" series.
    Definitely hoping to see that Windblade teased over 2 years ago get revisited, but also any other female Transformers would be amazing in this aesthetic.

    Tbh, I would even be OK with some male characters getting done in this kind of smooth "humanesque" design, I could totally see a Hot Rod with
    rippling muscles to go with this Arcee, maybe even a similarly designed Optimus or Springer. BFB has immediately jumped to the top of my favorite 3rd Parties :bay

    I doubt we'll see anymore TF-related products from BFB at this point. If the Hasbro-Chinese crackdown on some 3rd party knock-offs didn't chase them away, the boiling controversy over NICEE leading up to and post-release most certainly will. Right now I think they've set their focus on the Magical Henshin line and OC's like Bird of Dawn Kalavinka.

    I'm fine with this. There are enough 3rd and 4th party TF makers out there.
    I'd like to see some more original stuff, personally.

    Mayo or Bacon grease works pretty good if you don't have that fancy Silicone/Shock oil around. :D

    I hope you're not being serious. Food-based oils will spoil and go rancid, and I'm sure promoting eventual mold/fungus growth won't be healthy for the joint.

    Hobby lubricants are super cheap online, and even the small tubes they typically come in will last you practically forever

    good news for those that hate partsforming, the shield can stay in place during transformation to act as a cape.
    you can detach the front/top bit from the grey panel the seats are on if you want to fold it in a bit further.

    and I like the convenient accessory tray.
    often accessories are in the same tray as the figure, but nicee's accessories have their own tray with cover that sits in a rectangular slot inside the figure's tray.
    so you can put the box and the figure tray in storage, and keep the little accessory tray near the figure

    One would hope, but some people tend to be so clueless about this sort of thing that I'm not ruling out earnesty. And even then, people are so clueless about this sort of thing that they might take the joke at face value. So either way, best to head it off instead of answering all sorts of ugly questions later down the road about the godawful stank Nicee is putting out...

    Took a little effort to replace the chest, it's totally pointless but had to do it.

    Slightly taller than ko arcee.
