Elita-1 peach coloured armor?

Postby Triggerdick Megatron » Sun Jul 22, 2018 6:21 am

Has anyone seen an Elita-1 POTP with peach coloured armor or do all of them have black armor? I have seen pics of peach armor online but at retail just black. Im looking for a peach one if possible.
Does anyone have a spare POTP Hun-Gurrr card?

The black on Elita-1's Prime Armor is just paint, the pieces themselves are cast in peach-colored plastic. So some have taken the liberty of stripping the paint off, because well, makes her stand out more against her brethren with black feet aside from Abominus.
The resident Rewind... well, half of one :lol:

Looking for:
- TR Furos (Hardhead's head) and Crashbash (lost him :()
- PotP Punch head
- TR Galvatron right arm (the gun one)
- CW Brake-Neck/UW Wildrider, CW Offroad
- TR Twinferno & Grotusque
- Greenlight, Lancer and PotP Elita-1 (plus repro Victorion hands and feet?)

It's a shame really, if they were cast peach why choose to paint them black as peach matches the colour of Elita-1? It may have been a last minute decision.

Every elita at retail has painted black armour.

After scouring every retail toy department and all of the interwebs, I finally got my hands on an Elita 1, and I have to say, wow, what an unmitigated piece of crap. EVERY joint is so sloppy loose she can barely stand on her own as a combiner. I have to prop her hands on her hips to keep her arms from falling off. Are they all like this, or just this one?

Mine is nice and tight. I don't think loose joints are a systemic problem with Elita One. Sorry yours suck. :(

Slightly off topic and I know its not going to be a popular opinion...

But I'd really like the Moonracer/Firestar/Chromia design used for Elita-1 as well. The Elita we got was far too large for my purposes... :|

To be honest, I wouldn't mind a deluxe size Elita-1, but definitely not from the Moonracer mold. I just don't think it is that great of a mold if the figure is not going to be a combiner limb. Siege Chromia is going to be the first regular release deluxe I skip since before Combiner Wars.

I think the best bet for a deluxe Elita One would be yet another redeco/retool of the Titans Return/Transformers Legends Blurr mold. Take a look for yourselves:

Of course, Bluur has already been retooled TWICE into different female characters.

You can't argue with the results, though. The mold works well for these characters.
