A nice video showing off the new third party Arcee figure Delicate Warrior available from Igear toys at http://shop.igeartoys.com/. The video shows off the box as well as the transformation.

The video can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2Ip14IE_eg&feature=player_embedded

I can't get the youtube BBcodes to work anymore.

I could have sworn that the guns for Impossible Toys version couldn't be removed. Even the Nightbird figure couldn't remove her gun or sword if I remember correctly. But if I'm wrong oh well. This one stil looks a little more detailed then the other one.

the box is nothing like impossible toys xD lol

Actually from what I've seen seems the problems of the IT version have been fixed. But as others have said I want a Seibertronian or well known reviewer to check this one out

But looks alot better. Like how the face is actually painted and the transparent glass on her head. But at $98 she definitely HAS to have all the problems fixed of the IT version.

The stand is a nice touch since Arcee does have delicate legs and with this you don't have to worry about her falling over unexpectedly.

Gotta love the cheesy strip club music during the video...waitress another beer please !!!

Okay seriously after buying both Valkyrie and Medic, I am impressed. Even though most people speculate that the guns on the impossible toys versions do not remove, they actually do. But what I like about this figure better is the bigger size. SIZE DOES MATTER !!!

So will this figure be available through BBTS or Toy Arena ??? Or will I have to create yet another account ???

looks like you might have to create yet another account. =\

Whoo, it looks awesome! It comes with diecast metal too. I may get one later on. But at $98 price tag, I don't know if it's reasonable or steep. So where exactly is igear, in China, Japan, US? I'm asking because of the shipping fee.

Looks good, I couldn't stand the IT version, that sucker had too many issues for the price point. If I hear at least two trusted people say that it is sturdy & whatnot, i'll bite. But iGear worries me admittably. But if they pull this off and continue with FRESH NEW ideas or at least executions of pre-existing ideas then they can make it on my gotta buy list with FP.

THis isn't an iGear figure, they're just the retailer in this instance.

It looks good, but I'll wait to hear about the final product before sinking more of my money into it.

News Credits: 1 · by **Gauntlet101010** » Sun Sep 05, 2010 8:15 am

Coulda sworn I've seen this vid before ...

The price is outrageous for this. Still, I might get it even though I already have IT's version. The IT version is okay, but it definately has issues.

News Credits: 1 · by **AutobotMR2** » Sun Sep 05, 2010 8:20 am

If this thing is actually $98....one big PASS. I'm sorry but I can't justify that price tag for this figure. I did good justifying the 80 something dollars for the City Commander upgrade....(and by justify I mean my undying love for Ultra Magnus!!!!)

Lol Well i need to see a definately better quality video of her (preferrably HD) to make my decision and basically a nice review of her. an HD review of a figure reveals all

KOToys said in another thread that they MIGHT get these for around $80.

This was posted already at iGears' site, though not at youtube. I hope/wish this will be sturdier than ITs version.

Once this comes out I have to see a side by side and some pros and cons..For as much as these companies are asking for them, I need to know the skinny on them both.. This one does look nice..

News Credits: 668 · by **Autobot032** » Sun Sep 05, 2010 3:16 pm

I like the hip design.

That's it.

It looks too blocky in vehicle mode, I loathe die cast metal, she looks too thick in robot mode (or if not fattish, at the very least muscular, blech) and I see no reason for the stand.

The packaging is an eyesore. >_<

For $98.00 it's just too little for too much.

Can't wait for my Valk to arrive.

This looks better than Valkyrie in everyform.

Right now I have too many pre=orders to try to justify spending x dollars on this until next year. I like it. All they have to do is compare this one to IT and then we can really judge.

by **RiddlerJ** » Sun Sep 05, 2010 4:36 pm

Had I not already bought the IT one I would've plunked down the $90 for this.

I may still get her, but she has to be much much more studier for me to take the plunge.

Looks much better to me than Valkyrie. I may get this one. Depends on money flow. Really still hoping that Hasbro pulls out a really nice one and I can skip the third parties altogether.

I can honestly see a generations arcee surprising us..I'll wait on this one and valkyrie to hit clearence some where..or make it a goal to pick up at botcon, It's nice to save something to buy there

Normally I'd agree and say that's a great idea. The better third party stuff doesn't make it to Botcon sometimes though. Either that or it gets very expensive very quickly. I try not to wait on third party stuff anymore after missing the Cliffjumper and Roadbuster kits. Recently got the latter from Prime Evil, just cuz he's a super guy! I'd certainly love for Hasbro to blow us away instead though.
