The Energon Pub

My Arcee has the right leg problem too. Also her windshield caused stress marks where it snaps into the butt for robot mode. I never bothered to have her hold the swords after being warned here. I just forced em into the shoulders, posed her and into the toybox she went with all the other Animated figures I have no room to display.

Where'd you find Arcee?

I got my Arcee, and she did come with the oversized leg clip. That needed shaved down, but that took like 2 seconds, and I did that before reading the boards.

I had no trouble with her hands, and was very careful after reading the warnings on here. However, she did experience a small stress mark after holding the swords overnight.

I just trimmed them a little. One is now a bit loose (took off just a hair to much material.) but it can still be held.

All that said, I really like her. A couple minor engineering quibbles aside, I really like the look & posability.

I really like this figure too, and i'm glad Hasbro got around to making it. My problem is really more about the fact that nowadays i can't just buy a figure and enjoy it. I open the package, and notice QC problems as i transform it for the first time. After i fix those, i find myself analyzing the rest of the figure and usually find more. In Arcee's case, the problem is not a loose accessory (as with ROTC's Lockdown's engine), but a flaw reminiscent of the GI Joe Slaughter's Marauders figures fiasco of '89. She's just not an action figure. She's for older people that will not break her thumbs because they thought of shaving down the handles or not using the weapons at all, unlike the supposedly intended kiddie market.

Fixed.

NOW it's fixed.

I personally use Titanium Rodimus for my 86 movie collection, much much better figure than Rodimus.

As far as Arcee, I haven't looked for a week or two. My earlier searches were all fail. At the worst, I'll snag her during BotCon this year.

LOL.

You shouldn't have a problem finding Arcee at Botcon, seeing as how scalpers have bought nearly every frickin' Arcee in the entire state. That's where I'll probably be getting mine, too.
