We're dealing with mostly little boys here, at their age, would you be caught dead with a pink toy?

Most little boys won't want to be caught dead with a toy that is a girl to begin with.

Hell no. I didn't mean that as though it was surprising, it's just kinda unfortunate. At least there's Animated Arcee, she looks a lot like G1 Arcee. Botcon needs to redeco/retool her into G1 Arcee.

you never know we may see a classics arcee as a club exclusive.
just putting it out there.

personally animated arcee is just fine for me just wish the head was remolded

When I was a kid, my Brother and I had My Little Pony figures.

We'd wash and brush their hair...

Then have MLP death battles.

Haters gonna hate.

Well, if this was this past BotCon, I can't speak to what they said, I didn't go. But the '11 BotCon they hinted an upcoming Arcee that was G1...and I that crap I think they were talking about the stupid G1 deco Prime Arcee.

So am I...aka I already have iGear's Arcee so I don't give a **** if the 'Bro wants to come up short yet again.

You're both missing the point I was making. Hasbro representatives teased us with a product we obviously weren't getting if only we would buy this version. That's underhanded.

I love great third party stuff as much as the next guy but I ultimately want the official product. Options are never a bad thing.

I voted Yes.
While I've held many of the same gripes and concerns that have been expressed here thus far, I do prefer to look at the positives. For me, that's mostly due to the WFC/FoC lines. I'd always wanted Cybertronian versions of the original G1 characters so this is a dream come true, scale issues notwithstanding. Now, do I think they can do better? Hell yes!! Plenty of things to improve on, but I do like what I'm seeing thus far.
