Arcee has yet to meet one that can outsmart bullet.

That gigantic gun is there to make up for the fact that she's smaller than the rest of the deluxes.
Also, that gun does look pretty familiar.

Another reveal that we've already seen before in miniature. This is actually an improvement on the FE, apart from the stupid oversized gun.

Besides making my pink one even more of a separate character, this seems to improve on the toy in almost every way (admittedly, she had one of the weaker toys to start). The sculpted body looks so much better. There's always a fine line between better proportions and cheating us. while it is your typical "hide the kibble" beauty shot, the wheel suggests it might get out of the way better.

Speaking of beauty shot, I can't tell what they transformed wrong on her. Did they... transform her right? I've only heard legends of this occurance.

I wish you hadn't mentioned the fact that it differentiates the pink Arcee. Now I sorta regret buying the blue FE one, because I also have pink Arcee. #-o

Oh well, no biggie, it's still a good toy that I like a lot.

lol I wonder the same about the lack of mistransformation. Amazing if true. :lol:

I figure that toy has no way of actually holding that gun unaided in that pose. Ever.

I hope so. I'm all for size-accuracy along with show-accuracy.

I didn't like how overtly tall FE Arcee was, superseding both FE Bumblebee and FE Cliffjumper in height.

i am getting just for the head. the crest on my FE arcee broke and i am hoping i can do a head swap

Wow, and here we were thinking that all of the RiD figures would be looking worse than their First Edition counterparts. I'm pretty impressed with this one, especially the head. My only complaint is the lack of pink strips on her, but I guess I can get out the good ol' paintbrush if it bothers me that much. I'm gonna have to pick this one up for sure.

I'm finding it a tough one to call. Yeah it's more screen accurate, but the FE has more detail which I quite like. I'm hoping it's just this Photoshopped image but her eyes look very vacant: like she's undead as well. Hopefully Takara's version will look that bit more exciting, plus it'll come with a Micron that I think transformed into Arcee's armblade. Will reserve final judgement for once I've seen her bike mode.

And I can't even make the "compensating for something" joke...

News Credits: 37 · Mon Feb 06, 2012 6:44 pm

I think she kind of looks better than the First Edition version! And it's a good thing she still has those holes in her arms so I can plug in the blades from FE Arcee. And I likez deh gun.
