But I also believe that Hasbro and Takara do a half assed job appealing to collectors and enthusiast. Maybe a thrid Party will come along and honor him the right way.

I'm already set on going Takara for Arcee and Windblade (even though I've had Hasbro Windblade coming to me from an earlier BBTS purchase), but I'm not certain about Chromia yet. On the one hand, Takara's Chromia looks a lot nicer, but on the other hand, Hasbro's Chromia is more comic-accurate.megatronus wrote:Trikeboy wrote:I'll definitely be going the Takara Tomy route for the ladies.

I think Takara's Windblade is hands down better than Hasbro's, but I'm still debating on which version of Arceee & Chromia is better... I need to wait to have both versions in hand before deciding.

More.Arcee is the first female Transformers character who was part of a main cast - in Japan she's known for her active role in the “2010” series. The focus of her character design was on the feminine appearance, and was too difficult to recreate as a toy with the technology available at that time. There was a plan of producing her as a Headmaster, but that did not materialize either. Mr. Kobayashi, who is responsible for this product took extra care to perfectly realize the screen accurate transformation process and proportions. Mr. Oshima corroborated from the early planning stage. They did not compromise on any details on her feminine style.
(An interview with Mr. Kobayashi will be featured in the next issue.)

Arcee was designed by Hironori Kobayashi (of Masterpiece fame) and Yuki Oshima (of Kiss Players fame)
He also did the artwork for the two Metrowars manga stories, the Shattered Glass text story "Do Over", the bio artwork for Shattered Glass Ricochet, and the Revoltech manga.Madeus Prime wrote:Arcee was designed by Hironori Kobayashi (of Masterpiece fame) and Yuki Oshima (of Kiss Players fame)

I genuinely don't understand the pearl clutching/think of the children reaction to it. I mean it's skeevy sure, but it's not like it can hurt anyone, it's toys and drawing with words next to them.

ANYHOW! Kiss players isn't related to this topic! So let's drop it shall we?

It became related because Yuki was also part of Arcee's design team. People are making a mountain out of a molehill out of that. Hence I needed to point out together with Sabr that aside from the KISSPlayer work by Yuki, he is also an excellent Mech Designer and it shows.
