TRNS-01 VALKYRIE IN HAND

[kup]

is she even worth it for that price?

My guess is that it won't be worth it as far as the toy is concerned. However the price of owning a character accurate transforming toy is something else entirely.

I am already resigned to the fact that as far as materials and paint finishes go, she will be sub-par but I can live with that.

Yeah thats right Kup. Its worth the cost if you want an Arcee if you have been waiting for one since 1986.

I just *love* the packaging, especially the new box art and tech spec on the back. It just *feels* like a G1 boxed transformer, and I've missed seeing a 'new' one in that style for so long.

I got mine today and opened her.

Yes she has poor paint quality and thin plastic (although above KO) but absolutely loving her toy design

Beautiful sculpt, the pictures don't do justice to her. The transformation is very simple but intuitive, fun and very effective on both modes.

I can tell that a lot of love went into the design of this figure and this shows in her sculpt, engineering and even her instructions and box art as reyllid pointed out. Unfortunately she is drastically short changed during the mass manufacturing process as the materials feel very cheap on everything including the instructions which is printed so poorly that it looks faded.

Arcee's sculpt has aesthetics which fit more with G1 toys, specially when standing still but she is also very articulated but her little feet limit poses. While displayed in dynamic poses, she looks more like a Classics toy than G1 which is great. Basically, stand her still in a static 'G1 toy' stance and she fits well with your vintage toys. Pose her dynamically and she fits right in with Classics. Fantastic.

All the toys that we got in the group order have some sort of defect which can be seen from the box. Thankfully all the toys we got do not seem to have anything major and more in the realm of minor defects. The one I opened has a dark grey paint dot on the front side of the car hood but nothing too jarring.

Despite all that I am completely in love with the design and that alone makes me forgive all her defects

I am glad I bought her.

I have to highlight that she is made of sub-par materials and has questionable QC issues. Technically she is definitely not worth the asking price. One has to see past those flaws to like her which are not minor.
