Cyberfembot.com, the makers of the custom G1 Arcee figure, have posted on their site pics of what looks to be a computer generated prototype for a custom Sari figure from Transformers Animated series. No description of the possible custom figure is posted, nor is there any information about any release date.

As always, keep checking back to Seibertron.com for the latest news on Transformers.

Hey, I posted that link in the Custom Arcee tread. As seen here

viewtopic.php?f=4&t=38936&p=691663#p691663

Scroll down, you'll see it. So what, no honorable mention?

I can tell you, these just have yet to export to BBTS or any of the other sites, so don't hold your breath on this one.

I didn't bother reporting this as news cause it probably is gonna end just the way you're seeing it.

IF anything, the $250 dam good G1 HeadMaster Arcee which they've had for a while is far more noteworthy than the clay annoying kid.

oh look! She's got her cranky face on!

While human characters would be nice (though at the end of the day, not really necessary), static ones would just be too boring. Energon Kicker was a good example of how to fit human characters into the TF toy line.

[quote="First Gen"]You'd be amazed at the number of people that asked the Hasbro panel at Botcon whether or not there would be a Sari figure.

I wonder what scale TF's she'd go with though. And she'd definately have to have poseablity and the Allspark key necklace.

Absolutely not excited, and Sari's my favorite human character in all TF lore, too. If Hasbro made a big Bumblebee toy with a poseable Sari to ride inside, I'd be embarrassingly happy. This? Meh, some people collect sculptures, but I like toys.

Later on in Animated, maybe they'll release a Sari figure with a key that unlocks functions similar to the keys in the Cybertron line. The functions would need to feel more creative and more significant, though, and not be used across the entire line, otherwise kids and collectors alike would feel annoyed. Done right, though, I'd very much enjoy Sar incorporated into the toyline.

Just not like this.

sigh anythign to make money looks like a pvc figure looks good but i dont this character i find her to be anyoing

With three of the four Movie Screen Sets shelf-warming all over here, I don't think Hasbro is going to do well with scaled figures of any kind.

Even if they could fit into the vehicles (which would be a stretch), how/why would kids play with them? I keep remembering the scene in the TF movie where Megs flicked a human into a car and he made a little screaming sound; that's about how useful a tiny figure would be.

I never even saw the Screen Sets in stores! Anyway, with Sari, you have a special character who carries a plot-significant gizmo for interacting with the Transformers. That could be worked into play in several ways. She might end up with even more she can do, depending on who/what she turns out to be in the current plot arc. I doubt we'd see Sari to scale (which scale?) but she might make sense as a toy of some kind. Probably not as a solid lump, though.

[quote="Burn"]Am I the only thinking they need to pick up this figure, grab their G1 Perceptor, put her beneath his magnifying glass and line it up with the sun? :twisted:

[quote="Bumblethumper"]The reason they don't sell is less to do with having human figures and everything to do with them costing double the price of the included deluxe figure that most collectors already have anyway.

I'd like them to do human figures from Animated, but this isn't the way to do it.

They cost 30 euros over here. That's equivalent to US$47(!!).

I wouldn't mind having some of the scaled human figures for display purposes, but at that price, it's just so not happening.
