    My Arcee is coming Wednesday. To those who own her, how is the ground clearance in vehicle mode?

    I still have questions about the hands, do they hold weapons fine? (Don't know if they can hold the T30 swords properly).

    You can have her replaced at no cost but a printed shipping code.

    Still they're cousins, identical cousins, and you'll find
    They laugh alike, they walk alike, at times they even talk alike

    I didn't realize it was both November '22 and January '23 already.

    Very minimal. I figured that would be the case after seeing the early review videos, and in person that's the case. You can fit like 2 sheets of paper under the car if you're lucky.

    They're not total closed "fist holes", but they are enough that she can hold any standard 5mm weapon with no issues. She can hold the T30 swords, though due to the open fingers comparatively they don't slide all the way down to the hilt, but they're still solidly held.

    Quick thoughts:

    Out of the box she seemed floppy as hell, but once I got her head panel back into her torso, she's pretty good. There's quibbles to be sure, but overall I think this may be the best Arcee of the main line. There's some engineering here that actually is fun puzzle play rather than just "stuff limbs into shell", I wasn't expecting that. And making the lower back kibble on a friction hinge so it's removable was quite welcome.

    I’ve seen much worse kibble-shields. [​IMG]
    This one is glass-free AND has a pointy-thing on it!

    Totally. They could have even called this a removable drone and I think it would have gone over better than half the stuff they pulled in WFC.

    No! I didn't upgrade from Earthrise just to voluntarily do the same dumb thing that one did!

    I don't mind kibble shields, Reminds me of the YF -19. How else are a civilian militia going to fight against an enemy bred for War?
