Loopaza Mega Store has scanned the latest issue of the Figure King Magazine, which offers new image for several upcoming figures. Due to brand unification, many of the ones shown, like the Netflix figures, the studio series figures and the Cyberverse deluxe figures, don,t offer anything new. But we do get a nice new photo of Arcee which seems to confirm that what we saw, with the lower chest plate, was not a mistake. The side view clearly shows that this position lines up the detail accordingly.
The big star of this spread is of course Super Megatron, and we get many nice new photos of him, so enjoy!

Aha, so that's how Super Megatron's chest works.
And speaking of chests, good gravy, Arcee's torso armor looks even lower than before!

Yeah, Arcee's chest just ruins the whole figure for me. She was always going to be a tough figure to do, but they should have really thought that through more.

Here's a question mind. Now that we've seen how the chest gimmick works, why is there pins in the ultra Megatron chest? They don't seem to be there to pin the chest to the rotating piece...

I'm thinking that, just like the new MP Bumblebee, this Arcee is only meant to be viewed from a certain side. I have no idea which side that is, but apparently Takara hasn't figured it out either.

Arcee's bosom is WEIRD, why is it so low & misshapen? Maybe she's mistransformed, or she needs a bit of a lift. She was first seen in Transformers Movie in 1986, 34 years ago, so she's still very the young!

It's not just the front of her chest, her sides need to be higher too, hence the white stripe lining up all the way around her torso.AutobotAlvaron wrote:Arcee's bosom is WEIRD, why is it so low & misshapen?

MP Arcee was a figure I was really looking forward too, but damn, it looks like she's wearing a cardboard box as a bra. A female figure from Japan, I was really expecting a little more femininity to her like they did with Blackarachnia.

Guys, this is Rattrap's great-aunt you're talking about, be nice. 
That said, Arcee looks like when kids (or grown men) stick balloons under their shirt, but don't know how high to put them.
At least her face isn't as derpy as the first time we saw it. Her nose isn't just sticking out of her face, it looks like a nose, her mouth is slightly open and what we can see of her chin seems to be rounder.
It's for moving whatever that black part is, the pins go into it on the sides. I thought that black part was what his head was connected to with a twist in it similar to RID2001 Ultra Magnus, but I guess it serves another purpose we can't see (probably connects the canon to the front of the spacecraft mode).

I'm in the same boat. My mind say that it's insane to buy a "voyager" that is 95$CAN plus taxes and shipping. Even though that voyager is now a leader with all that added mass to the classic TR mold.
My heart say that I want it and tell my mind that I've bought many "overpriced" collectibles before and what harm will one more do?
Ugh....

That's a good price, I'm pretty sure I paid around that in US dollars.
Edit: Found a 2012 email from BBTS saying that my pre-order was going to be $350, but had been reduced to $330 before release. But I also found the email receipt which showed shipping was $20 (this was during the time they didn't offer flat rate shipping like they had before and since) so I still paid $350 in the end.

I did and I hat was a 360$CAN total well spent.
That's a good price, I'm pretty sure I paid around that in US dollars.
Edit: Found a 2012 email from BBTS saying that my pre-order was going to be $350, but had been reduced to $330 before release. But I also found the email receipt which showed shipping was $20 (this was during the time they didn't offer flat rate shipping like they had before and since) so I still paid $350 in the end.

That mean I bought that Fortmax on sale. Maybe it was below 300$US or so. I remember mine being 360$CAN total because the shipping alone was 50$US and I had to pay custom fees on top.
It was still just 360$CAN total though and not 400$CAN+ because at the time, the Canadian dollar was worth the same if not more than the US dollar!
Maybe with all the "free money" the US government issue because of the coof, it will happen again?

Eh, G1 toys just really aren’t my thing. I have an OG Starscream bombin around from my uncle, but it’s missing all it’s parts. I used to have a Jetfire with no arms, also from my uncle. That one I kinda miss. But yeah, I don’t collect many TFs anymore outside MPs.

Firstly, that price is ridiculous. Secondly, why not go for the reissue? You even get a kickass sword out of it.
