Finally got my Deluxe Arcee in the mail today. Nice toy, great bike mode, a little tough to pose in bot mode though, but I still like it.

One problem though. Her chest piece doesn't want to stay up! It's very loose and it comes down everytime I try to pose her. I notice the distinct lack of anything "clicking" when I try to move the chest panel back up - it just sort of flops there... thankfully, I can use the bike wheels to sort of "hold" them in place... but yeah...

My Arcee's chest is sagging, and I'm afraid "plastic" (lolz) surgery isn't an option...

i think she has the hots for you, she cant keep her top on!

no serously, if youre never gonna sell it, super glue!

My Arcee doesn't have this problem. Maybe you just got a defective model?

Ha! That's much funnier than the "sagging chest" joke I put, time to change my thread title, if you don't mind me stealing your joke

Yeah, but if I glue it, I'll never be able to transform her again, since the panel needs to open to hide her head in bike mode...

If it is a manufacture defect I say exchange it if possible or at least get credit if you bought from a store like Target. :???:

Yeah, it's her "boob plate" for lack of a better word...

Usually the only thing that keeps her top up is two little tabs on the inside near the top. Check to see if those are aligned properly or still there.

Buy Arcee a Tiny Bra.

But see if it clicks, My arcee hasent come in the mail yet.

But I bet the guy above me is right.

So your Arcee has a Jug-Defender issue? ;P
tough luck, take good care of your Arcee, or she might end up in the stripping business on Cybertron xD

Shame I got it off eBay, I guess I'll just wait for the stores here to stock them, and I might pick up another if they go on sale (only because I like the Arcee design so much, it would be fun to have a figure free of defects), then again, I don't have the money to start buying the same toys twice, I'm having a hard enough time saving up for Leader Brawl, Movie Robot Heroes, Universe Seacons (should they ever come out), not to mention all my university crap...

By nature this thread is funny.

My Arcee doesn't have this problem. Granted, the only thing that keeps her boob armour in place is a small catch and you can barely hear it click. But mine stays in place fine. How bout some nail polish? I heard its less damaging than superglue.

There should be a faint click when you press the breastplate back. Sounds defective, or maybe the tabs are misaligned.

I got movie Arcee from Wal-Mart this morning. There seems to be a couple of small tabs that secure the chest plate when it is all pushed in.

This is a funny thread btw.

Aw shame. Haopefully My arcee wont have this problem. as soon as I recive my arcee.

Damned Ebay.

Looks like I solved my problem... kind of, I just applied a bit of pressure on the tabs on the breastplate, just enough to bend them up slightly (but not enough to break them off), they now hook on to the body part like they should, though not very snuggly, but at least now the breastplate stays attached when Arcee just stands there, so it looks like I'll be saved the trouble of having to buy a new one.

But if anyone else has this problem and tries to do this, BE CAREFUL, it doesn't take much pressure to actually break the tabs off completely!

Most guys wouldn't complain about a woman constantly losing her top.

....Skowl, are you a chick?

But I thought the piece that flopped down was the breasts, And would make arcee look like she had droopy grandma breasts.

This is the panel that keeps flopping down, it's her chest plate. It is her "breasts", if you feel comfortable calling it that...

And here's my Arcee, wondering why the hell her chest keeps coming down...

Nope, I'm a dude, and I would complain if Arcee was a human woman, but as it stands now, she's a toy, and she should keep her dignity by not flashing my other Transformers... She's distracting Shortround and making Thunderblast and Blackarachnia jealous...
