Here's a couple of updated images, they also claim to be working on bringing the price down.

I'm not feeling it. This set feels more like someone is jut trying to cash in on the 3rd party market.

Is it just me or has everyone entered the 3rd party bandwagon since the success of City Commander?

In fairness to them when she came out everyone was asking for a 3rd party company to make a new head for her. I even saw a topic asking the board if the poster should get Arcee in anticipation of this 3rd party upgrade. So, to me, this is less "cashing in" than someone just making something the fandom wanted.

Yeah, after the success of CC (and the Quints too let's not forget them) the 3rd party stuff exploded. I'm not complaining, though. Most of my new buys have been 3rd party stuff.

I don't like the sculpting on this. Unrefined, dodgy linework all over the place. Looks like something I would produce at home with a knife and exoy-putty rather than a saleable item.

This just doesn't work for me. The Animated aesthetic clashes too much with the new head. Then again I've already got IT Valk and Delicate Warrior so I have zero need for this.

I actually think it looks decent as a stand in for one's Classics collection, however, it's just not cost effective. If Hasbro's doesn't do her justice, may as well just dish out a couple more head's worth for one of the complete bodied 3rd party figures. Maybe if this one was more like $15 it'd be a cost friendly alternative...
