    From their Facebook. Good thing I don’t keep boxes since this one’s extra pervy.

    Looks like they did add her lipstick paint. I kind of think I preferred her without it but Elita-1 is definitely my favorite use of this mold so I'm excited nonetheless.

    In hand photo of Elita from Baidu:

    Also from Newage's Weibo post:

    Sina Visitor System

    Looks like they altered her colors slightly, mainly the primary pink but they also swapped the tertiary pink on her torso for an orange. Compare the photo above to the one below:

    Strange decision as I feel the original color scheme was more accurate to how she appeared in the cartoon:

    Hmm. Lately there's been quite a disconnect between the promo pics and the actual finished product, with the actual ending up slightly worse than what was originally advertised. I was pretty excited for this Elita and was pretty close to making it a a buy, despite the higher-than-Arcee price on these remolds. But it just went to a "maybe" for me.

    That pink is definitely more peach now, and that orange is just an odd and distracting choice.

    I'm mildly tempted by Elita just because I'm not super optimistic about ever getting a proper legends Elita but there's just not enough, well... Elita. The only similarity Elita-1 shares with Arcee is that she's a female Transformer with an overly humanoid body shape. But this is just Arcee from the elbows and hips down, plus Arcee's neck and alt mode (can't believe they couldn't be bothered to remold the collar). And the parts that she doesn't share with Arcee still aren't accurate. Also Elita should be taller. She looks good (I love NA's Arcee mold) but she's just not Elita, at least to my eye.

    I really feel these are a 30$ worth figures...

    I got the Arcee at 40$ cause I NEEDED a third one to complete my Arcee trio of MP Arcee / FT Rouge and NA Arcee, but i dont feel it was worth that compared to my other purchases (like MS Shockwave repaint at 35$... or IF Grimlock at 55$).

    I would get Elita 1 and especially Nightbird too, they look fantastic, but at 50+ $ each (and maybe even more)??? Yeesh, i prefer to get MS and IF figures at 35 - 40 $ each that are alot more "beefy" with substance. Probably, if i had a say 1 to 1.5K budget for final toys, would have purchased these, cause yea, i would like to have all 4 to be honest.

    It's a new age for New Age. :rolleyes2 

    Solus still looks pretty good, though, so I'll probably pick her up, eventually.

    Was looking at my ShowZ pre-orders and saw that I pre-ordered her at some point. Considered cancelling but just couldn't bring myself to do it so I guess I'm getting her after all.

    Plenty of letters left in the alphabet, newage. Let's get an Ariel out of this, while you're at it, and I'll forgive the color swap :D

    It could be good if MK-6 TOYS do a more cartoon accurate Nightbird, Elita One as they did with NA H44 Ymir.

    My Elita arrived yesterday and I immediately turned her into a non-transforming figure (snip the peg, remove the backpack) since her alt is complete garbage and she's not meant to have any sort of backpack at all. Still wish they'd done more remolding on her to make her less of just Arcee with Elita's head and chest, but I knew was I was getting when I ordered her and I still think we're a long way out from anybody doing a good legends Elita (hell, we're a ways out from anybody doing a good Elita at any scale).

    It's kinda' funny - I've pulled the backpack off of every version of this figure I have - Arcee, Paradron, and now Elita. Arcee's got replaced with the Go Better kit but the other two are just backpack-less (technically Paradron is everything-less since my dog got ahold of her and I'm still waiting for my new copy from ShowZ). Newage has designed a very good looking fembot mold but they did not do a good job of making it transform. Though, to be fair, getting any of these slender human-silhouette fembots to transform is quite the undertaking and is going to involve sacrifices to one mode or the other.
