Jolly July Justifications

Got 9 of the new Kre-O Microchangers.

Some jerk had taken all the vehicons, Acid Wings (noooooo!!!!!), and Lugnuts.

I have to say, Arcee is, hands down, the best Kre-O they've made. Just beautiful. Ironhide's helmet works perfectly, and she just looks perfect: feminine and badass.

I'm not a huge fan of Kre-Os, but I did get Arcee and I do agree that she's one of the better ones. I do like how she doesn't conceal the paint apps on her body with some kind of vest or armour like other Kreons do.

They look nice to me, but I wish they had done the curves thing that Lego does on their female minifigs, as I think it would capture her shape more.

I'm personally really glad that they didn't do this for 2 reasons:

1) It would make it more difficult for Hasbro to reuse the same mould-parts for other characters (unless they made more female Kre-O TFs).

2) I'm not a big fan of the female Lego Friends figures as they project this body image stereotype onto young girls. The standard Lego figure is androgenous^androgynous so it can work with either males or females, I don't see the need to have feminised Lego figures... especially when they don't make masculinised male Lego figures for superheros etc. Lego Batman and Spider-Man look like the standard androgenous body shape instead of having ripping pecs etc. :/ Also, part of the appeal of Lego figures to me is having a variety of characters using the standard androngeous^androgynous body shape! Changing it feels like 'cheating' to me. :o

Looks awesome, is Acid Storm the hillarious joker in that school assembly photo? :p

I meant the illustrated curves that they print on the regular torsos. ;) Agree with what you said though. Should have been more specific :cool:

this is something that they are getting better with, i think all the wave 2 kreons have all the chest apps exposed

More Vehicons for the army and a lone Arcee.

Went in search of Prid Wheeljack, no luck, but I did manage to get the entire Kreo Wave 2.
