    Yup. Images on a PC/phone don't do her justice once in hand. As for her neck and breast plate, as I always mention, it's more an optical illusion where her collar makes her neck too long and over accentuates her angled breast plate. Could it have ben designed less angular? Maybe? But I'm no mechanical engineer.

    Also, there's something about her opics. It's warm and beautiful (only words I can pull out at this moment. And the black accents on top it is a pitch hitter!:thumb 

    Would you prefer a slightly remold of her head or just a recolor? (head part) Same way Inferno got a different head from Grapple.


    That's why we all should approach everything with an open mind.

    I would prefer to keep her current head mold and just get a recolor.
    I also hear Dr. Wu is making more faceplates for MP Arcee with a receded chin so I'll be keeping an eye out for those.

    It’s to the point that every time pictures are posted on FB I just wait the ten seconds for the titty comment to pop up. Never fails. Comical at this point

    The way I understood it, someone can design an add-on for the chest, but it'll have to be removed when going to alt mode. Otherwise, they'll have to redesign that hood to fit the chest, due to transformation.

    The obsession on the simulated female mammary organs on a simulated mechanical representaion of a human female is enough to make my head spin.

    That add on is not worth the cost and effort to add unless the purchaser is the one in my first sentence. Also, what you said, it all depends on the transform mode of hers why her breast plate looks that way.

    Lol get the hell off Facebook. It's where the garbage of the TF fandom goes to fester :lol 


    Anime Export opening back up on Tuesday so hopefully I can get Arcee shipped out pronto. Still torn on whether to go EMS or SAL though!

    My post was just a general observation. Some folks are okay with the chest, and some are not, that even if a kit was made, it'll have to be just an add-on for robot mode, or that hood will have to be redesigned as well, due to transformation. Also, the default chest of Arcee allows more articulation for crossing over the arms.

    I mean, that's due to it being such an obvious flaw. It's laughable how it was allowed to get past the design phase looking that way. Regardless if you're willing to just ignore it, it'd be like if Prime or Megatron's chest plates were just a few centimeter's lower, also as a result making their necks look elongated.

    While I appreciate all the images trying to make her look not as off, this is one of those instances when you're better off getting one of the unofficial figures, at least until a decent mod is made.

    I know this ultimately doesn't matter due to all the people who will just buy this one anyway cuz regardless of the quality the official figure will always sell more copies, even when the unofficial figures are better designed overall.

    That's not a very nice way to talk about your fellow fans. :^)

    My takeaway from those photos was, are the people that have Azalea the same ones who complain about MP-36 back, her legs are pretty bad,much worse than Arcee's chest

    This is what I don’t understand. None is perfect but mp51 is the best overall by a mile. The people complaining lose all hope when they utter the “granny tits” like wtf bro. I’m on a roll with two people blocking me today alone in the past hr.

    Prove it. It shouldn't be hard to put your superior Arcee through the same paces. Replicate the photos found here.

    Man, I have some web-swinging props from Amazing Yamaguchi Spider-Gwen that would be ideal for these pics!

    I was backing up your post regarding the design choice of the breastplate is based on her transform mode (car or robot) :cool: . Modification on a level that might actually change the purpose of the design just because of the angled appearance could be focused on other positive endeavors.

    They be back Phamduc! They be back! :lolol
