    I also have an army of MP10s and probably would have bought a Nightbird repaint of it.

    For whatever reason, this figure looks better as Nightbird than it ever will as Arcee. I may've been talked into a Paradon repaint but this actually looks better than my expectations of that repaint as well.

    Also, A-E has her up 11200 yen.

    Got my preorder from Amiami for around 14,000 yen. Totally worth it. I always loved Nightbird. Hopefully if this sells well she will show up in a New Transformers cartoon. Too bad they didn't include the Nunchucks thou.

    Just a question, is there a time limit for amiami's "Save BLANK JPY", or is it as long as you order it before it's released?

    Pre-ordered at Amazon Japan. Curious how much the price will still drop. Current price for me is about 160 Euro including shipping and an awful lot of import taxes.

    People keep saying maybe Arcee's chest is because Nightbird, but it still doesn't make any sense to me at all! Arcee and Nightbird have different chest pieces, so why would Arcee's chest be shaped to clear Nightbird's neck/collar guard thingy, or for any other reason related to Nightbird??? Arcee's chest could have been shaped more toon accurately exactly like this - @MC Rap Throne's perfect custom...

    ...if they wanted to, and it wouldn't have affected Nightbird in any way. Yes that transforms fine. So one can only conclude they just didn't want to make Arcee look like that. They decided to try and make super pushed-up looking boobs instead, but it worked out better in the sketches than reality. That's all there is too it.

    I doubt we'll ever get a better quality Nightbird. Considering the QC issues I've personally had with Generation Selects Nightbird, and the fact I have until May 2022 to save up, She's gonna be my first MP figure. Oh, and she just looks freaking amazing with all of that weaponry as well. I'm also a sucker for Ninjas and Asian weaponry.

    What gives? I see someone got it for ¥14,000 from Amazon Jp but this is what I see. This is what they sold it to me for. I’m sure the price will be adjusted but still, wtf 56CF298C-1A5F-4784-8A5E-F401D2F9A79F.png

    Couple of different possibilities.

    1. One of you got it from a third party seller.
    2. The price fluctuates constantly on Amazon, and somone PO'd at a lower price (so got locked in) while it went back up when you ordered it.

    Meanwhile Japanese peeps are bothered there's no Dr. Fukihama figure.
    Problem,depending on how you look at it, when you pull the neck line up, it's a lot more obvious she has major cleavage. You go from pushup to 2 hams in her shirt. The redesign was obviously to make her more feminine, which honestly , I dont even care about but its obviously been a sticking point for some people.
