The build quality, aesthetic, posability, and overall quality of the figure blows away third party figures, hands down. It really shows what Takara can do.
The quality of the MMC version is top notch but other than that, I wholly agree with you and this is from a 3P fanboy
Just my personal opinion, but it looks like she’s getting ready to blow a kiss in these. I think it’s the lower lip that looks like its jutting out too much. I think the previous ones were closer to that little coy smile she had. Don’t get me wrong, these are great. They just have a different look to them.
I am back on the fan wagon for Arcee. Just returned her to DHL and came home to my replacement from RK (wow! Only 3 days wait!) This copy is so much better! Tighter joints on waist and shoulders, waist has no gap, waist screw is actually installed, and hinge moves smoothly on both sides. Only had 2 splotches in white paint on backpack and the effect part for gray gun fought me. Both Arcees I received had that weird paint on that exact side. I wonder what's up with that. Still in awe of Sunstreaker. I was not all in on Toon style until he won me over. My copy has an issue where his side mirror gets stuck when going to leg mode but he is a stunning figure nonetheless.
Just a quick question? Has anyone found a way how to make her lower torso ball joint more solid? As well as her toe joints?
Got her today, really like her. The Paint and Overall look in both modes is just really really good, much better in person than pics. She costed me... everything... really very expensive, but... i wanted her, and she is the 1st G1 MP i bought after Sunstreaker, and she is a keeper. That said, she brought in a new problem... I wanted her for a trio of Arcee, Rouge, Azalea Alt. But now, i feel that Azalea Alt just doesnt go so well anymore, and Rouge and Arcee make a better duo...
You can try some kiki, I used it on her toes, only problem is it's easier to slide the feet in during transformation when they're looser like that.
Love your wit my friend. Hilarious and a technical challenge. Am I crazy , or is this the most fun thread ever?!?!
Haha thanks man, your enthusiasm adds so much here too! It's definitely the most fun one I can remember in quite awhile!
