Takara one completely show accurate. I'll take Takara.. I'm actually getting real tired of Hasbro's paint apps. They were getting better for a while, but it seems that they don't care or know proper paint schemes for these characters anymore.

Where i this picture of Takaras version? Ive done a google search but cant seem to find any.

Thanks

Not sure I like it considering it will be insanley priced as all Takara stuff is, I'll stick with the Hasbro one, actually quite like the black on her helps to break up the colour scheme the Takara one looks a little incipid.

Have you checked BBTS? Takara ones are only 30 dollars. The way the dollar is continuing to decrease in value, our Hasbro ones will only go up in price. For 15 more dollars you get a superior product that you'll be happier with and have saved an economic cost of post-market price-gouging by scalpers later. I kind of wish now that I had done the same with a lot of the Henkei classics figures back in the day now. Thankfully an ex girlfriend got me the Henkei Optimus Prime voyager mold. Love love love that toy. But yeah, Chromia and Windblade also look a lot better. Same mold, I just don't want to have to learn to paint them myself, and that's worth 15 dollars to me. I can't wait to see Takara's Jhiaxus. Hopefully it's the more accurate deco.

Isn't that a trait of all remolds?

Now Hasbro gives you all an official classics Arcee at less than ¼ the price and you expect a miracle of engineering ?

You all should be happy you finally got an Arcee that’s both a car and cartoon accurate pink. I personally like it and could care less about the back kibble. I pose my figures facing forward not turned around.

Post of the day, honestly this is virtually the iGear version for 1/4 of the price and people are complaining? No wonder Hasbro do half arsed molds when they get complaints about the ones they actually get right.

I personally don't quite understand the negativity that seems to be following this figure either. It's Arcee, it Transforms, and is unashamed to be pink! FINALLY!

I'm not sure which thread I'm in but if Takara Arcee is really the price I'm seeing it'll be THE deluxe I import. Generally speaking, the mold is enough for me. The black being replaced by gray and extra attention to detail makes the Hasbro deco look like a Transformers Animated homage. (Which is cool if you're into that.)
Love the fronts, hate the backs. Overall, I like them.

Seconded, thirded, fourthed... I will definitely keep an eye out for this. I'm going with the Hasbro paint scheme as well.

I eMailed Kapow about my preorder, they are expecting her in stock around the 10th.

No but I do know that Omegalock had the same release date, so may be using the same supplier.

I cancelled the order and switched to Kapow. They seem to have her in stock at the moment.

When did you switch the order? Kapow have had her marked out of stock since weekend at least.
