Awesome pictorial, I love how RK documented transformation and several POAs. I look forward to receiving these figures. Should be another week before she hits State-side.

I was all kinds of impressed, then I thought "hang on, where's the backpack go??"

...then I realised it fits underneath, forming the engine shroud... Phew!!

Can't wait for this! :twisted:

Come to daddy, my blue beauty!

I hope either FE or PRiD's head fits her. She shall be my Cybertronian-mode TFP Arcee

The only thing that annoys me about this figure is that the rifle is required for the complete transformation. I would've been happy to put that thing in a parts box and never see it again. Put that into context though and the end result is still "Gimmeegimmeegimmee!!!"

I should've guessed, given that this is the work of Perfect Effect, who are known for doing this kind of thing with every release they put out... but now seeing the parts-forming transformation I am not as interested now as I was before :-(

I wasn't gonna pay full price for one anyway, but now I'm not sure half would justify this...

~sigh~ pass...

Not. Happy.

I've just been on RobotKingdom to check the release dates for PE-DX-01. The blue one's listed as coming out next week. Wooo!!!! However, the pink version (the one I ordered) has been delayed until the 18th. :BANG_HEAD:

If I do get it, it'll be much further down the road (probably for clearance) because I just want to paint it into the female Junkion Nancy. Plus, I'm still not a fan of the weapon overload that PE does on every figure. What's she got like 9 or 10?

9 or 10? I think those go up to 11.

This figure looks so bad ass. I need to figure out a name for the pink one though. Delicate Warrior already holds the Arcee position in my classics shelf.

And I have my Chromia and Arcee, now.

I am excited for thsi figure.

Someone did a review... although pretty crapily, imo. But hey, still looks sick as ever. This could be one of my favourite TFs ever, so long as I can find a way to keep the wings attached during conversion. Taking them off seems like too much part-forming.

EDIT: Just recieved my pink version. Seems the wings do have to come off, ah well, she's still sexy as ever.

just got my pink version today, i like it. downside is the knee guards keep popping off and i broke the small plastic bar above the foot...

BE CAREFUL WITH HER!!!

otherwise pretty good

worth the money, not as sturdy as id hoped, VERY tight joints in some cases

'Nother review

Will probably cave and get the pink version but wish it was $20 cheaper.

that Optibotimus review was good. think it has pretty much sold me on this figure. shame that Kapow seems to have sold out of the pink one, but I see a few other places I can pick it up. Will also be very interested in the Blackarachnia version.

by **MINDVVIPE** » Fri Jun 08, 2012 9:54 pm

I'm not so sure that that locking knee pad works the way he says it does. My instructions say that the movement of the leg on the knee hinge is locked when the knee pad is facing downards, and only free to rotate when the knee pad is facing upwards. Mine seems stiff enough that I don't want to test that, but it seems that optibotimus's is alright.

Either way, be careful with 'em, haha. They're very worth it, even with the heavy price tag. The only thing I can say thats bad is that some of the paint aps are somewhat sloppy. By no means are they terrible, or lacking, but don't expect a figure with paint aps like Fansprojects.

Just got word this in my pile of loot yesterday. Although Im predicting a price drop, I still know this will be a great figure. For me, it will be classics Chromia. If somebody does a G1 head, even better. Now we need a Firestar figure.

So how does this mold stack up to Delicate Warrior?

It's not a Classics Arcee. No way.

that comparison pic makes the G1 design look very "quaint". I think that Delicate Warrior would fit fine with a G1 collection, but, articulation aside, it just doesn't look very Classics.
