    Default Quick review: Impossible Toys TRNS-01 Valkyrie

    PROS

    -G1 Arcee!
    -good sculpt
    -G1-esque box and instructions
    -guns stay in the hands during transformation, much like ROTF DLX Brawn
    -easy to transform
    -good arm articulation

    CONS

    -questionable paint job, dirty
    -delicate
    -nothing really locks anywhere (torso and shoulder plates should but they don't feel like it, tabs are too small and the minute you try to pose the figure they untab)
    -loose right foot (could be just mine)
    -head doesn't look like it can turn (if it does, the joint is really stiff, to the point you feel like you'll break the head off)
    -no waist rotation
    -hard to balance
    -bad print quality for the instructions

    My call? For hardcore collectors and display only. And wait for a sale.

    Wow I hope the paint on my one is not like that when it arrives. But I can always clean it up.

    It looks good despite the less than perfect paint. Mine will eventually have a pearl paintjob anyway.
    Buy my stuff

    If only I could steal your talent for a few days . Geez I hope mine isnt going to be as sloppy as that paintwise....I didnt expect this figure to be poseable anyhow as its going with my G1s so it should fit in just fine on that matter.

    So erm, the guns arent removable? ah well less accessory loss to worry about.

    It would be very hard to paint lipstick without making her look like a clown.

    Despite the paint flaws, it is likely the closest toy we'll ever have to a G1 Arcee.

    No it wont. Use light pink paint and a very, very fine paintbrush.
