From someone with the username of Pax Cybertronia, she looks very good.

She looks great! So glad Hasbro gave her the attention she deserves. Also very glad I didnt go down the Impossible Toys/iGear route, this looks far superior. Now hurry up Kapow and get her sent!

Boy after seeing the paint differences between the Hasbro and the Takara one, I can not for the life of me even stomach looking at the Hasbro one. Too much black. Takara one completely show accurate. I'll take Takara.. I'm actually getting real tired of Hasbro's paint apps. They were getting better for a while, but it seems that they don't care or know proper paint schemes for these characters anymore.

Delicate Warrior had back kibble. Current cost: $110.00

Now Hasbro gives you all an official classics Arcee at less than ¼ the price and you expect a miracle of engineering ?

You all should be happy you finally got an Arcee that’s both a car and cartoon accurate pink. I personally like it and could care less about the back kibble. I pose my figures facing forward not turned around.

Post of the day, honestly this is virtually the iGear version for 1/4 of the price and people are complaining? No wonder Hasbro do half arsed molds when they get complaints about the ones they actually get right.

not a very nice picture mind you, but the basics of their paint scheme is there. and its spot on!

after watching the video, i feel much better about the mold, especially the car mode. and even though the takara one is superior, ill get both. ive been doing that a lot lately...

Thanks

Not sure I like it considering it will be insanley priced as all Takara stuff is, I'll stick with the Hasbro one, actually quite like the black on her helps to break up the colour scheme the Takara one looks a little incipid.

I like the black on the Hasbro one, it helps to break up the pink. Hope Kapow Toys get her in stock soon, after 28 years of waiting for a G1 Arcee then I'm very eager to find out if she's been worth the wait. Looks great.

Have you checked BBTS? Takara ones are only 30 dollars. The way the dollar is continuing to decrease in value, our Hasbro ones will only go up in price. For 15 more dollars you get a superior product that you'll be happier with and have saved an economic cost of post-market price-gouging by scalpers later. I kind of wish now that I had done the same with a lot of the Henkei classics figures back in the day now. Thankfully an ex girlfriend got me the Henkei Optimus Prime voyager mold. Love love love that toy. But yeah, Chromia and Windblade also look a lot better. Same mold, I just don't want to have to learn to paint them myself, and that's worth 15 dollars to me. I can't wait to see Takara's Jhiaxus. Hopefully it's the more accurate deco.

Agreed. This is perfect. I do like Delicate Warrior (mainly because she looks so cute) but this is basically a perfect Arcee. If I didn't have my TFA Arcee I'd go for this.

not a fan of the belly and the translucent weapons. but i will still be getting two of them.
