Thankfully it's a lot more family friendly than most garage kits that originate in Japan. Unless of course it turns out that that chest plate is removable...

That doll-clown face is really creepy which totally ruins it. Too bad because the sculpt is pretty NICE!

Aww she's got a bishoujo anime nose.

Never under estimate the power of perversion in Japan. Hell, let's just say never under estimate the power of perversion on the internet in general. Even without checking, I know a place where I can guarantee a handful of people are already planning on buying this to hot glue. They like their Clang Clang Clang if you catch my drift.

She looks like the female robots from Phantasy Star, all doll-like. I'm not surprised that they gave her a cute, anime-ish face.

Really love the sculpt on her form, but that...face. I will have to agree with others about how it's quite creepy looking...though i'm sure some masterful resin model painters can probably make her not look so much like one of those porcelain killer dolls through some minor alterations. Still a very nice looking resin model, compared to some i've seen (wish I could unsee in some circles).

Needless to say, I got a friend who'd probably go bonkers seeing this, if he hasn't all ready, eh heh heh...

I don't know. It looks like they spent a lot of time and care molding that dierre.

She really does have buns of steel.

That face would scare the hell outta me if I walked into my dimly lit office and happened to stare into it. The body sculpt is very nice, but that face......words cannot describe the dread I feel looking at it. Not to mention the first pic makes her look crosseyed to boot.

Cool design, horrible head sculpting.

Apparently I've been living in Japan for too long 'cos that face looks totally reasonable to me. Hopefully when I get back to the west I'll re-adjust to long, skinny faces.

It's the nose that ruined it. If it were an angular high bridged nose like that of Ariel in Superlink then this would be a 5 out of 5.

I think if the eyes were more hexagonal, and less moe blobby it would make a world of difference on its own. Maybe a more pronounced chin so she doesn't look like a cabbage patch kids doll...

It's a combination of the cheekbones and the nose.

Basically, you have angle-sharp design style in the body and then contrasting Bishou style in the face. They don't mesh IM(not so)HO.

I've got no problem with the face or the body. Combined though, it doesn't work to me either. I think it's funny/cool that her girly bits are more shapely and human-like than Arcee is ever drawn. Of course, it's entirely possible that I'm perverted. Eh.

Heh, the more I look at this, the more I actually dislike it. I always hated the face, but now I think that the entire figure is lacking any sort of expression, or character. It's such a neutral pose with no narative. The blank expression on her face only adds to the dullness of the figure overall. I'm officially changing my opinion on her to thumbs down

Never thought Arcee was a Butterface: Ass looks good but her face.

Hey perfect for an ass man like myself though!

I actually like this a little more now that I think of displaying her with other Bishoujo figures...

Other than the creepy mouse girl face, hot damn!

Never thought I'd say this but she's got a great arse (or ass for our American friends). Have to agree the face is highly disturbing though.

I also not sure I understand the "hot glue" reference and am afraid to google it. Do people put hot glue on figures to replicate the look of certain bodily fluids? Or am I way off the mark?

^........yeah, that's probably what it means.

Arcee's got back.

"I like
big butts
And I cannot lie
All you other brothers can't deny..."

Also yeah, creepy face. It's the nose & eyes for sure.

Looks really great execpt for the way the shoulder pieces are connected by tubes. The body looks almost too sexy to be a robot. I wonder if the designer had some issues...LOL

Damn those transvestites look hotter and hotter

i dunno. i still have kiss players haunting my head.

Blame it on Furman. Fembots were always fembots and not forced through mecha genetic manipulation.

I know this will outrage the general public, and I understand the whole arguement about how fembots are "Awesome" and everything, but I never understood the whole fembot thing, and Arcee in particular. My observation/question on this news/figure is this:

Is it just me, or are there Arcees that are convention exclsives and stuff all the time because they keep finding new or different ways to make Arcee look sluttier? Like, perhaps the general release of a G1-styled Arcee figure would be assisted by a ceasation of Playboy Arcee exclusives all the time?

It appeals to the robosexuals who love they CLANG CLANG CLANG, broseph. Female robots are fetishtastic to some people.

I'm now wishing that Takara had allowed Revoltech to license their stuff a bit more since all Revoltechs with Revolver joints have interchangeable parts. So much lulz...

Queen's blade=Rin Shin/Satoshi Urushibara. Boy how I wish they'd also do a take on sexy fembots! Especially Satoshi U, he was once upon a time involved in G1 Transformers (not only does he draw stunningly erotic females, he also does kick @ss mechs (see his Valken works)

it actually looks like it might be. lol. seriously though, this does seem to be Arcee's year to shine. this is the forth figure this year to bare her name or likeness. and with a fifth on the way, Arcee fans have a lot to be happy about.

Quick someone make an Arcee AMV with this song to make me laugh. Make sure to use IDW Arcee in it.

It's wierd seeing how over sexualized Arcee is in this depiction, but the face is something I actually think is fine.

Over sexualized or not, that face is far from fine. Anime fans might like that look, but not TF fans. Pity too. That kit looks great, except for the face.

Since I'm an anime fan as well as a TF fan, I think it's fine.
