Transformers MP-51 Arcee Australian Release Confirmed

Posted by Bounti76 May 13, 2020 at 1:56am CDT 36,008 views
Thanks to our very own Burn, we have some great news for Australian fans! He's discovered that latest Masterpiece figure, MP-51 Arcee, will be exclusive to the EB Games and Zing stores on that continent. EB Games did have a listing earlier, but it's since been taken down. Hopefully, both sites will have preorders available soon, so Transformers fans from down under can have the opportunity to order the second female Masterpiece figure.






Additionally, MP-39+, Spinout, is also being offered at EB Games, and there is a preorder up for him.

I dunno, I think the three-ring binder she has been trying to hide under her shirt is going to give her even more problems down under:

:???: I'm puzzled. I thought I already noted the pre-order for Arcee? Although I maybe confusing it with the WFC figure.

Regardless:


£129.99 - InDemand Toys

10% Option is available. Release date given as December 2020. As yet no mention from Kapow Toys. Which means the pre-order will likely drop later this evening or tomorrow.

Well, that sagging chest is even more distracting and unappealing than the "cancerous growth" backpack.

Thanks to fellow Seibertronian Cyberpath and site advertiser BBTS, we now have even more pictures of the highly anticipated Masterpiece MP-51 Arcee figure from Takara Tomy and Hasbro. The new pictures feature her included accessories such as her blaster, rifle, tire shredder, different faces, energy blasts, and more. In addition, these pics show some of the detail and love that went into this figure, including a fully detailed car interior and more. Check out all of the pictures below and then pre-order MP-51 Arcee from BBTS. This figure is currently listed for $149.99 with a release date of December 2020. Without further ado, check out the pics below. After you've viewed the pics, make sure to stop by our forums to share your thoughts about MP-51 Arcee in our dedicated topic.

In the Transformers Masterpiece series, Arcee, a female-type cybertron member appearing in "Transformers: Animated Movie" and also being active in subsequent anime and movies, is finally here!

MP-51 Arcee thoroughly brings out the styling of Arcee that appeared in "Transformers: Animated Movie". In robot mode, the backpack is made as compact as possible to reproduce the attractive styling of Arcee in the animation. Arcee in vehicle mode shows off a futuristic car type vehicle with a beautiful curved line.

Please Note: Product is in an additional Hasbro-branded sleeve over the Takara packaging. Package image coming soon.

She's not perfect but I think she looks awesome. Yeah, the proportions are weird in certain areas and the backpack looks messy from a lot of angles, but they clearly put a lot of thought and design work into this. My only surprise is there's no Daniel figure or stand. It remains to be seen if she can actually stand without one because of those tiny feet. But I'll find a solution. Excited to add her to my collection.

I wasn't so sure about Bumblebee 2.0 but I ended up really liking him. So I'm sure Arcee will be great.

One thing this highlights is the odd proportions of MP Hot Rod. I'm not in a rush for another one, but I wouldn't be surprised if they're planning it.

Add to the list of reasons to pass: they gave her the face of a blow-up doll. :BANG_HEAD:

I was thinking the same thing. The chest on Hot Rod is really bad and the fact that he has the two red pieces behind his shoulders that break up the yellow spoiler is also really bad. That mold drives me crazy, and not in a good way. Arcee, while not perfect, is a step in the right direction from flat torso Hot Rod.

While a new - gimmick-free - MP Rodimus Prime would be the ideal, I wonder who would be most likely as the next of the MP Movie characters? Kup? Springer? Blurr? ...Wheelie?

Looks nice but oof, $150 again. Not a fan of this current trend of MP’s going for double what they used to be. Still holding out hope for a sale on Hound, he’s one I’ve been wanting even before he was announced.

Yes, I'd rather have any of the other 1986 main movie cast other than another Hot Rod. They had 2 shots at him ... time for someone else!

Indeed. The only G1 Masterpiece I actually want. But realistically, Takara's bias towards Autobots pushes him down the list. As previously noted, MP-36 was the last New Decepticon in this line. 2-3 years ago and it doesn't look like HasTak are in any rush for the next one. :(

And most importantly, time for a :CON: DECEPTION :CON: .

I'm not gonna be buying it, but I'm still gonna complain/opinionate about it.

Some of these pictures make her look really good. I mean it's obvious her entire alt-mode is on her back, she's gonna be a shellformer for sure. The robot mode looks fine, but the sight of her butt and thighs hanging out the rear bottom of her car mode makes me think that she transforms pretty much like Generations Arcee, except with more backpack origami. However: those additional faces almost all look the same. They couldn't include one with the red visor?

I thought the same, why do these all look identical?

The red visor comes down from the top of the head so it'll cover the eyes on whatever face plate you're using...not that I see much difference.
