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.

[GoktimusPrime]

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.

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

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

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.
