Mine should be arriving today.  

 

Once again I get figure / comic #4 before #3...  

 

Mine arrived yesterday. Noticed that her knee hinges didn't want to lock in because the metal/grey parts were warped. Also got some paint scrapes on the yellow horn and her right arm. Definitely hit my opinion on her figure... But still decent... Now to fix those knees...

 

Booyah.

 

She's a cool looking figure, but mine has the floppiest waist of the three uses of the mold.

I can't get her to stop leaning back.

 

Dis you click it in place? Takes a fair bit of force.

 

I use anymore force and I'll break her.  

 

I held my breath and did it.

She looks unharmed, but my heart skipped a beat.  

 

This is my first experience with the mold and oooh boy, this is not a very fun figure to handle. It does seem like the waist tabs in easier on this version though, but maybe Road Rocket already fixed that?

She looks great and she’s just going on display so that’s fine, but she just feels like she uses a softer plastic for her legs and it makes her whole base feel unstable. Not a fan of this one.

Mine also has a nice big paint chip on the central horn, which is great on a premium figure.

 

Mine got here today. Gave her a regular Decepticon Toyhax label and now she's all set.

 

My copy is missing this piece entirely

 

I dislike this mold but I'm happy to replace the Botcon 2014 figure in my display with it. She'll be wearing the accessories from the BC 05 figure. Unsure how bothered I am about the faction symbol. I'll cross that bridge when I get her open.

 

That’s kind of a surprise to hear, I expected this release really only exists as a substitute for those who refused to pay triple digits for the Botcon ‘14 release. Personally I thought that was a much better mold than Legacy Arcee.

 

I have no use for Prime molds in a "Classics" display. Which is the focus of my collecting. Not to mention I dislike almost every one. Loved the show, not the toys. I've built a pretty comprehensive modern collection of G1 through beast era. That's about where I draw the line of care to own/display.

 

Mine did the same thing, I think the handle for Fireglide is just slightly to big, luckily the crack is small it isn't noticeable unless you really look.

So is the hand cracking when holding the axe a consistent thing? There a solution to that which won't mess with the looks of either bot?

 

Don’t put the axe in the hand

 

So don't use one of the toy's modes that's advertised as being used? That's not a solution. That's just compromising it.

 

I don't have the hand cracking problem.
In fact, her grip on Fireglide could be tighter.
