    die cast parts ei, hmmm no wonder the pricetag, still.... I content in owning the other one. That japan toy !st price giveaway ( not sure if its a Winter toy festival or whatever TF/Robot event it was in Japan) FFN mentioned, I used to have a pic set of (got deleted when my prev PC crashed and had to be reformatted) that and a website link but Zobovor has long since deactivated that site he has. That was the first time I saw it aaaaages ago. Way before Armada even.

    From the back pics of the box theyve got the other fembots featured though, wonder if they're gonna attempt those bots as well. Wish Fans Project made them from Arcee and everyone that way the quality would be better though still not official.

    Err, no, probably not. On tfw2005, someone mentioned they recognised the picture as fan art, and that it was stolen. So other than being a beautiful picture of Arcee, don't read anything more into it.

    If it sold they mide to a remold head but I can't see it doing it for that price.

    The toy looks better though, as the guns aren't sculpted into her hand and are removable.
    On the lookout for MISB Headmaster Highbrow, Takara or Hasbro. I'm sure I could make you a sweet deal!

    The guns are removable on the Impossible Toys version as well, are they not? Pascal confirmed this in his review, as I recall. The Impossible Toys version merely holds them as she transforms, like ROTF Brawl.

    If I collected unlicensed products I would definitely go for this. It looks like the best toy of Arcee so far IMO.

    I found this post on TFW2005:

    They use iGear for the overseas market.
    Here's the Taobao link.

    So iGear is only distributing this product to overseas customers and is placing the extra on top of the price, excluding shipping.

    What jerks.
