Thankfully it's a lot more family friendly than most garage kits that originate in Japan. Unless of course it turns out that that chest plate is removable...

That doll-clown face is really creepy which totally ruins it. Too bad because the sculpt is pretty NICE!

Never under estimate the power of perversion in Japan. Hell, let's just say never under estimate the power of perversion on the internet in general. Even without checking, I know a place where I can guarantee a handful of people are already planning on buying this to hot glue. They like their Clang Clang Clang if you catch my drift.

She looks like the female robots from Phantasy Star, all doll-like. I'm not surprised that they gave her a cute, anime-ish face.

Really love the sculpt on her form, but that...face. I will have to agree with others about how it's quite creepy looking...though i'm sure some masterful resin model painters can probably make her not look so much like one of those porcelain killer dolls through some minor alterations. Still a very nice looking resin model, compared to some i've seen (wish I could unsee in some circles).

Needless to say, I got a friend who'd probably go bonkers seeing this, if he hasn't all ready, eh heh heh...

I don't know. It looks like they spent a lot of time and care molding that dierre.

She really does have buns of steel.

That face would scare the hell outta me if I walked into my dimly lit office and happened to stare into it. The body sculpt is very nice, but that face......words cannot describe the dread I feel looking at it. Not to mention the first pic makes her look crosseyed to boot. :PEACE:

Cool design, horrible head sculpting.

Apparently I've been living in Japan for too long 'cos that face looks totally reasonable to me. Hopefully when I get back to the west I'll re-adjust to long, skinny faces.

It's the nose that ruined it. If it were an angular high bridged nose like that of Ariel in Superlink then this would be a 5 out of 5.

I think if the eyes were more hexagonal, and less moe blobby it would make a world of difference on its own. Maybe a more pronounced chin so she doesn't look like a cabbage patch kids doll... :-?

It's a combination of the cheekbones and the nose.

Basically, you have angle-sharp design style in the body and then contrasting Bishou style in the face. They don't mesh IM(not so)HO.

I've got no problem with the face or the body. Combined though, it doesn't work to me either. I think it's funny/cool that her girly bits are more shapely and human-like than Arcee is ever drawn. Of course, it's entirely possible that I'm perverted. Eh.

Heh, the more I look at this, the more I actually dislike it. I always hated the face, but now I think that the entire figure is lacking any sort of expression, or character. It's such a neutral pose with no narative. The blank expression on her face only adds to the dullness of the figure overall. I'm officially changing my opinion on her to thumbs down [-(

Never thought Arcee was a Butterface: Ass looks good but her face. :lol:

Hey perfect for an ass man like myself though! =P~

I actually like this a little more now that I think of displaying her with other Bishoujo figures...
