TF: Prime Arcee toy pic

[GoktimusPrime]

C'mon HasTak... give us Classicsverse Arcee already! And I know Hasbro has this penchant now for wanting to repurpose their CHUGUR moulds for other characters, but they could easily redeco a Classicsverse Arcee as Elita-1 (or almost any other of the female Autobots really, if Hasbro fears having two pink Autobots might not appeal to retailers).

Animated Arcee is the closest legit toy to G1 Arcee made to date. And I don't think her Animated-esque aesthetics is as strong as other Animated toys. There's also Binaltech Arcee - yeah I know she's just a repaint of Decepticharge, but at least she's a car.

The closest legit toy to the G1 Arcee model would be SCF or HOC Arcee, but of course, they don't transform. Or move. Those who attended Sydney SupaNova 2003 may remember seeing SCF Arcee at the OTCA booth's "Death of Optimus Prime" diorama



Getting somewhat back on topic, I personally think Prime Arcee looks okay (in these doctored photos anyway ). Looks better than the ROTF bikes anyway.

The only really nice Hasbro Arcee is Animated Arcee, and this coming from someone who dislikes Animated toys. The first movie Arcee was kinda decent too, except for the face, and now there is this Prime one. What is it about Arcee and bad face sculpts.

Yeah, I agree it is pricey but if one bares in mind the fact that HasTakTom are clearly not producing a G1 Arcee any time soon, that these beauties are 'Hand Made' hence a much higher quality/standard in construction than other 3rd party items and if one really, really, really wants a G1 Arcee - Then these figures start becoming a very considerable option.

Still, it would be nice to see HasTakTom actually produce a friggin' figure of a character that customers have been screaming for, for the better part of a quarter of a century too!

I have been keeping my eye on that toy for a while, and while I do like it, I find the price a bit to high to justify for a toy the size of a deluxe. Maybe I'll crack but probably not until the toy is long sold out.

I don't really have much hope for a Hasbro Classic stlye Arcee, but I secretly hope that Fansproject will one day do a take on her based on the not Arcee bot in the Protector comic. If they did she would be less G1 like, but I imagine much better money to value ratio.

To be honest I'm not really that keen on Arcee, I just want to finish of my Clasicverse TF the Movie cast.

Well, that sucks we won't be seeing a G1 Arcee anytime soon I knew that that product listing was too good to be true...
