    It's not associated with any TF. They have left that behind after Nicee. This is their IP.

    Cool. Gotta say, I'm encouraged by the companies that are investing in original designs and IP.

    While it's still purportedly in production, ShowZ is not an accurate source for pre-release information. They slap up provisional pre-order pages the moment they catch wind of anything, long before official solicitations are out, and could wind up turning to complete vaporware in the meantime.

    Digging the sportier race car aesthetic and robo-maid look.
    But...

    You probably want to swap out the robot mode pic with a link instead. Otherwise the mods could very well ding the thread. If Nicee pics are a no-go, an alternative deco of the same figure ain't gonna fly.

    Done. Thanks for the advice.

    I live in the heart of Europe and I always forget how prude Americans are. Biggest producers AND consumers of porn in the world but one tiny bit of fleshlike plastic on a robot toy and they go boom.

    This figure and it's repaint are the personification of "I want it, but I don't want most people to know I have it".

    That said, let's at least all agree not to shame anyone for getting or not getting this figure. Everyone has their reasons for either.
    Personally, I love it, but I'm not getting it. I love the fact that BF figured out how to get a very organic bot mode to transform into a very dynamic, stylized car mode and both look great. I'm passing, however, because, as a dad of two young boys, I can't in good faith overlook that it has a certain "appeal" and I need to be mindful of how I portray women in our house. That's me. But if someone wants to buy this, for any reason, that's their choice. I would just hope they are honest with themselves about their choices and reasoning. I kind of wish there was an alternate chest piece that might alleviate some of this issue, but it is what it is.

    The color scheme and stripes are nice but I really don't like the sponsor logos and stuff. Both modes would look better without it, especially robot mode.

    I won't be getting this one. I wouldn't have gotten the first one if it weren't for her at least sort of being Arcee (I still need to finish altering the 3d file for her Arcee head so I can print it) and, while my wife was willing to indulge me enough to get Nicee, she still doesn't like her and I'm sure she'd be unhappy if I brought another one into the house.

    If not, the head comes apart pretty easily so you can paint 'em red or put red foil over them or whatever.

    hell yes!! Will definitely double dip on this one, despite it being mostly the same as Nicee :eek: :D 
    If BFB reads this, and I know they read a lot of comments from fans, especially on Twitter, I honestly don't care if the figures they make are
    specific "Transformers" characters--I just want to see them keep up this EX line of transforming girl bots. The little SD combining girl bots were
    not really my cup of tea, as I have "graduated"=am no longer interested in SD-style toys, but I would literally buy anything they release in this EX line.
    Quality on Nicee was superb too, IMO, especially compared to similar products from other 3P makers.

    From looking at the photo of it's vehicle and robot mode, I'm honestly put off by the appearance of the sponsor logos and the spoiler (or it could be the angle of the photo). Robot mode looks very appealing, I'm sure my friend wouldn't mind a mecha-maid! :D  I think it should come with a feather duster as an accessory.

    Do I need another Nicee? No. Would I like to have another sexy figure in my collection? Well, that depends on whether I really need it or not.
    Hmmm...such a tough decision...

    This, the magic henshin series looks bad compared to the EX line, and I love everything about a cute smol fembot but they are like OC nendoroids and their eyes are the worst part, even PeachGirl looks better as a "cute" version of a Transformer
