    You'd be surprised. MMC Azalea anyone?

    Wallets throughout the fruited lands still shutter at that name.

    If a NSFW feature existed on here like on MyFigureCollection where people under 18 aren't allowed to view said pictures then posting pics of the bot mode wouldn't be a problem.

    I'm not sure what you're getting at? I'm speaking purely for myself, not making some broad statement about redecos in general. But for ME I'm not sure about paying that much for a redeco which I'm not sure I like :)

    I thought it was some posters starting saying some very inappropriate things about Nicee (and what they want to do with her)

    It's a reference to the initial smaller-scale run of IDW-style Arcees by MMC. I think there ended up being 7-8 versions of the mold. Some were straight redecos, a few were slightly remolded. It was a pretty good design at the time, although these days I think it's showing its age.

    TFsource, BBTS, and Robotkingdom preorder links have been added to the 1st post. Please feel free to keep adding more preorder locations from trustworthy eTailers not already posted on the 1st post.

    I'll be sure and add them all accordingly. Thanks so much in advance my friends. ;) 

    In my sig. ;)

    I think maybe it was a response to the idea of paying relatively substantial sums for Arcee redecos rather than your specific post?
    At least, that's how it came across to me.

    Got my copy preordered on Show Z Store as soon as it showed up again (when I first tried orders were already closed), someone must have backed down leaving the spot for me. Or they just set a higher bar for the preorder numbers.

    Despite my previous comments I have also pre-ordered on ShowZ. Turned out when converted to GBP it turned out about the same I paid for Nicee :)

    Went with TFDirect for Nicee and received a box that was clearly damaged before packing. Paid for a replacement with extra padding just in case only to receive a second damage box. Guess I'll try ShowZ this time around as per the couple previous posts!

    Is it weird to anybody else that she, and when I checked, Nicee, have an apparent vagina line? Is that something that was necessary? Am I overreacting?

    When the topic comes up (and usually gets scrubbed immediately after), I tend to note that there's also similar sculpting on the bra cups. So I personally liken it more to the prominent seams you see on fetish-wear, where obviously the intent is to highlight and evoke such anatomy, but you're not actually "showing" anything.

    And it's not like other Transformers, even official (and male-coded) ones, haven't sometimes had similar pelvic details.

    So ultimately I can just shrug it off.

    Yeah, it's clear that was the intent and I can't say I'm thrilled it's there but mostly I ignore it.

    Also she's not the first Arcee to sport one of these.

    Pink Assassin's I'd be more likely to ascribe it to an innocent bit of molded detail just to break up an otherwise undetailed area but I still find its placement suspicious.

    you are overreacting.

    Please take this crap out of this thread. Thanks.
