    I’ve got them too. Rodimus is is over an entire head taller than newage galvy. Even when you pose him with his knees bent, he’s still noticeably taller. Still as close as we are going to get for a whike

    Depends on your Rodimus. As I said with a few paint mods Papa Toys Hotrod makes a pretty good rodimus that sizes well with Newage Galvatron.

    That’s different than mine. Mine is a full rodimus prime with the trailer and seems taller than the one in the pic

    This one from mft. Papa toys Hotrod seems like a perfect fit

    Yeah that's the MFT Rodimus
    This is the Papa Toys Hot Rod that was originally meant to be Rodimus but they dropped the trailer from the final release.

    Your confusing it with the MFT one

    As I said it wasn't the only option.

    Still don't understand the whole Mech Fans Toys, Mechanic Toys and Mech Soul deal but that doesn't matter.

    I remembered that Mechanic Toys had made a release poster which showed MS-22 Social Butterfly with a picture of Arcee. Is this that Arcee or are we getting another one from Mechanic Toys without Dr. Wu? A little bit like the different Astrotrain's we got.

    Picture found in a post of @gundam8864 in the Mech Fans Toys Upcoming Figures thread.

    While I understand them doing it and for those who want it I'm happy but for me a good articulated non transforming Nightbird that would fit well with my G1 Decepticons, between Newage Ironhide and Starscream size preferably, is enough. With the kind of body Nightbird and the Autobot fembots had in the cartoon any one of them that transforms is going to have a backpack. They just don't have the mass to store the bodywork of the car mode and some of them transform into bigger cars than Arcee.

    ...:confused:  your right...must have gotten pushed down when the new shelf I was installing fell on them. Been in the same pose for so long before that I didn't even notice.
    She's just so small I didn't notice on the shelf .... Probably too focused on posing Starsaber and Deathsaurus sword fighting.

    Show off your 3P legends scale figures here! See if you can spot them...:D

    I like it!
    Of course it looks like on a whole new league compared to DX-9 Arcee (which I own and currently display with their Kup), and I'm gonna preorder one, even though the size is still Legends+ I guess... Shame I won't be able to fit this figure into my main Autobot shelf, but I'm considering to create a little L+ corner, at this point, as I'll have a spare MFT Ultra Magnus, as soon as the cartoon-colour reissue will arrive. Plus, their upcoming Hotrod looks pretty promising too. I may also throw in a Tracks just for the heck of it.

    The size actually allows your eyes to forgive a lot you would rake MPs over the coals for. Certain engineering works at this scale that gives them more options as well.

    I really wish they would just go the parts forming route with Arcee and get the perfect bot mode. I hope this turns out to work like earthrise arcee and you can detach large part of that backpack.

    Hope they do some repaints/tools as well, nice to have the Cartoon female bots too for the collection.
    Kind of a sausage fest now.

    the limbs, particularly the thighs/calves are a tad too anorexic looking. however the torso and especially the face/head sculpt are significantly better than the DX9 version.

    Nice BBTS tax on that one.

    Guessing this will be about $35-$40 (shipped) at most other places.

    Of course it's $45. That's what everyone else is doing, so why not?

    I don’t know, looks okay and it’s probably the best out there atm, but I’ll wait/pass. I see what they were going for in the FT look but I don’t think they hit it.

    Okay, that's actually pretty clever.
