I don't know. I don't think Rouge looks manly, but something about her neutral expression always looked off to me. Maybe it's the eyes, she always looked pissed off. Her proportions look really off too (super lanky). The backpack on mine became super loose after a while and I never even transformed the figure. I ended up selling Rouge and keeping my Azalea (and later buying MP-51, which I really like the look of aesthetically).
Not to YOU directly, but I find it hilarious when that dude gets quoted as if he was some sort of authority figure when it comes to TF's. Does anyone here actually cares as to what he says/likes?
I was wondering why some say Rouge is built like a dude, so I Googled some pics, one caught me but I do remember that episode an I kept wondering.... Did Arcee shrink or is Spike a Minibot? Joking of course.
Lol, he makes good reviews, but I know what you mean. He makes it seem like he's the ambassador of Transformers some times (his opinions and views matter more than everyone else's).
To be fair, there's reviewers out there like Angry Joe who literally claim to be the champion of the little guy. Please note, I'm not casting shade at Joe, just pointing out a fact. I like using BSF's quote because it's not exclusionary, not judgemental. It doesn't matter what reviewers say, what other forum members say, what ANYONE says: the only thing that matters when you buy something is that YOU like what you spent YOUR money on. It doesn't come from a place of being a reviewer, it comes from being a place of being a collector. Edit: when I quote someone, I make a point to try and give due accreditation out of respect I figure that's a philosophy anyone can get behind whether or not you care for the guy who says it.
I get what you're saying bro. As long as you're happy with the purchase, that's what matters, regardless of what others say.
Finally got my MP Arcee today! Really liking on how very articulated she is to the point of being able to pull off a contortion pretzel pose. Who says a femme can’t be flexible?
Thanks. I mean I was going with the instructions she came with along with watching youtube videos. Hopefully I'll get a better handle on it as I handle her more.
This guy is a good place to start for transformations. He does both a "3 Minute" animated transformation and a "Truly Methodical" slow transformation for each figure so you can really take in the details. He's quite new, so there aren't many available yet, but he did recently make some videos for Arcee: -
No, in this still image of the video already you can see that he mistransformed the taillights, and that the backpack isn't pressed down enough!
Or you could try Emgo's "Just Transform It" video. But not his regular review because he forgets the taillights in that.
Man, ordered Arcee at the beginning of February and she has been "in temporary storage" somewhere in China since the 9th. For over a month now. What a fucking drag. At this rate Starscream is going to end up being the first new MP I'll get since MP-44
I'm really sorry to hear that! Man that sucks! I'm really looking forward to your awesome pics! If you lived close to me I would lend you my copy. Speaking of awesome pics, did @Dean ML get a replacement Arcee because that tab broke? I haven't seen any Arcee pics since that happened so I was wondering if he swapped it. I'm really missing his pics!
The #1 authority figure in TF’s. What he says is TF gospel. He is even more respected than Hasui himself, it seems.
