He has of cause taken pictures of it and shared them on the forums, we mirrored three just click here if you wish to see all of them.
He also had the following to say about the figure:
To me it's a pretty decent figure doesn't seem to feel fragile and it's not really hard to stand though it takes some fiddling when putting her in a stance. Also, she comes with a sticker sheet and a collectors card.

There's a good comparison there.
Maybe the threads should be merged.

I asked iGear as much, but they were not able to supply an answer (it would appear that they are not actually the manufacturing party for the figure, merely the distributor).
I have however discovered that the blue square sticker appears to fit perfectly in an indentation on the hood; and the Headmaster-style stat bar sticker fits in a recess in the waist (and a little less perfectly in a display area on the dashboard). As for the rest, I'm stumped.

I agree that iGear leaves me with a sour taste in my mouth.

Far be it for me to curtail your freedom of speech, but - if you consider the matter worth posting about - could you perhaps do so somewhere else, such as in a thread specifically dedicated to the subject? I ask because the MGT-01 Arcee figure is not (as stated earlier in this thread) produced by iGear, merely distributed by their organization - consequently, this seems a rather poor place to attack the company's reverse-engineering of Hasbro / TakTomy products.
dragons wrote:ok so what do you perfer more this arcee or the valkerie arcee if you had to choose one?
The MGT-01 Delicate Warrior figure is larger, better constructed, and free from the many, many quality issues that have plagued the ImpossibleToys release.

Actually, that isn't a pin - it's part of the figure's light-piping feature. The eyes are connected to a giant transparent blue cylinder, the ends of which form the center of the circular decoration on each side of the head.

Design wise I describe IT version as more compact and more humanoid, this one looks a lot like the art work of Studio Ox (down to her sexy heels).
1. Quality wise..................light years ahead of Impossible toys, feels sturdy.
2. Plastic molding not cheapo, smooth, smoother than some original Hasbro/Takara releases
3. Paint apps, smooth with no smudging
4. Great articulation (21 POA), tight and not loose, check how well designed her feet came out
5. Light piping + she's got lipstick on
6. Die-cast (chest and knees)
7. Weird display stand, quite heavy in fact + a somewhat unorthodox looking connector (reminds me of @nal beads)
8. Anime accurate weapons
9. Rubber tires
10. She comes with a decal sheet but no instructions on where to apply them (What the....?!)
11. She comes with a tough abs/pvc bio card and a neater colored instruction sheet
12. Expensive hehehe but worth it.
Btw................already sold out at iGears site.
