Transformers Masterpiece: MP-51 Arcee Action Figure

This figure is overall a true masterpiece. She's worth holding the MP line, despite the complaints of her chest design I find this rather still a very excellent feature. Her accessories are extremely perfect, and the pink is so adorable this is by far in my opinion the best masterpiece and the delivery went very well. 18/10

The car mode is great and I love how accurate it's on screen appearance. However the exaggerated proportions of the robot mode is very odd and causes some limitation in the leg articulation. There are also valid complaints against the design of the chest and neck of the figure, but it was a reasonable decision to give the figure more articulation in the shoulder. Overall a great masterpiece figure, but I hope they'll try to create a new Arcee that doesn't have those exaggerated features.

it only take three day to deliver. Good box and no damage on it. Good quality and reasonable price.

While the chest is a little aggravating at times, when it is displayed it is not too noticable. This being my first masterpiece figure, I found it difficult to transform her into robot form. However, before I begun to even transform it, a piece of her broke off. Thankfully it was a white piece that normally be hidden between her back and "backpack." Speaking of her back part, I think it's a little too big. It affects her posability as it adds weight to her frame. Her build quality is decent, but it feels like she is always close to breaking. Overall, the figure is decent and the broken part does not really affect me as I was planning on her being permanently set to robot mode.

Amazing product for any transformers lover. A bit delicate so handle with care

Yikes.The War for Cybertron Trilogy line of Transformers has been very underwhelming across the board but even so, Earthrise Arcee is pretty bottom-of-the-barrel.The only positive thing about this figure is that (like most of the WFC figures) it looks great in robot mode, standing on a shelf. It's possibly the best classic G1-style representation of Arcee that has been sold at the retail level. If you're looking for an Arcee to complete a 1986 movie character display, this is a good option. Beyond that, the feet look sort of like weird, goofy slippers (though I give them a slight pass because they have a really great snapping ankle-tilt for posability) and the legs are pretty floppity. There is also a ton of backpack from the car mode. It isn't the worst-looking thing in the world but it would have been nice if they could have engineered it to fold up a little better. In fact, the designers seem to have been fully aware of how much kibble was folded up on her back and instead of finding a better way to approach it, they simple added the option to physically remove half of it to make it look better (something else not uncommon to the WFC line). Then they try to spin the detached piece as some sort of "hover sled," or some such nonsense, when it clearly just looks like half of a car that she is standing on.All of the above complaints are disappointing but it's the transformation where the problems become truly egregious. In reality, there is barely any transformation at all. Aside from being attached to the figure's back, the car mode is completely separate from the robot mode. Not a single part of the robot contributes to forming the car. You either have a robot with a car folded in half on her back, or a car with a robot fully crammed up underneath it. Not fun at all.And the car itself looks really bad. You'd think, being a convertible, that extra attention and detail would be given to the exposed cockpit but nope, it's barely sculpted. There are seat backs but no actual seats, the dash and steering wheel are only just there enough to give the impression of what they are, and the whole area has almost no actual physical depth. If you had a tiny figure to put in there you wouldn't be able to because the space doesn't go any further down than where the seats would be (if it had seats). No leg room. That, combined with a lot of plain matte-pink plastic, makes the whole thing look like a cheap McDonald's toy.So again, if all you want is for her to stand on a shelf and look like G1 Arcee, she will do that for you well enough (if you get her legs a position where they don't collapse from loose joints). But if you want an Arcee that is fun to play with and Transform then you might want to look more towards the previously released Generations / "Thrilling Thirty" Arcee figure. That one is better all around.

I find that the talk about this figure in the collector circles to be overrated. I hear a ton of bad talk about the figure itself (from its low chest to its backpack). Let's start over...the delivery on this figure was outstanding. I got it earlier than I expected. The package arrived in excellent condition. When I opened up the box I was welcomed to a great-looking car mode. She has the perfect amount of accessories. Some figures like Ratches have a ton of accessories and it's hard to find a storage area on a shelf for it all. Arcee has a bad transformation process, but she looks good in both car and robot mode. It is the process of the transformation "ITSELF" that is a problem. The figure in robot mode is very tight and posseable. The car mode has trouble rolling on smooth surfaces, but on surfaces like textured tabletops, she rolls ok. Bottom line I love this figure and enjoyed this purchase.

I was transforming it and the right leg snapped off. I glued it back but now I can't bend it to transform it so now it's permanently in robot mode, very disappointed!!! $135.00 for an MP that can't transform.

Including QC one of the best figures in a while, the best since Sunstreaker. Transformation is fairly simple, the windshield is a PITA the first time, but isn't really that complicated. She balances quite well as seen from photos around the internet, but there is a learning curve, because of her backpack and small feet, you can't just plop her down like your usual Transformer. She rocks a beautiful paint job and the other faces feel more Arcee ,if that is one of your hangups. The chest/collar is what it is, the collar should have been a few mm shorter,but due the hinge for the front of the car, the collar ends up a few mm too long. Hopefully Takara notices and puts out more TFTM bots,this is the kind of MP that makes you excited for future Masterpieces and wishing Takara put out more of them.

MPとして出すからには当たり前ではありますが、最高のアーシーであることは間違いないです。変形は最近MPに多いパタパタ変形ですが、ガワを無理くりロボットモードの形にするとかは無くほとんどを背面に纏めるだけなのでビークル、ロボットモードともに破綻ないプロポーションです。若干背面の厚みが気になりますが、アーシーのガワってほぼサイドのカウルくらいしか残ってないので流石にそこまでの再現は無理でしょうから・・・一つ不満点があるとすれば、太ももが後ろへ回らないこと。太もも上部が引っかかっています。腰から太もも、ヒップのラインを動かしても自然に繋がるよう、わざとそういった形状にしてるんだと思いますが(実際他の美少女可動フィギュア全般と比べても凄い綺麗なラインです。)うーん、可動を犠牲にするほどかなあと感じます。

Arcee is amazing. If this is the last Masterpiece figure I am allowed to ever own again, I would be content.

流石タカラトミーですココ数年不具合や不良が多かったマスターピースですが今回は問題なしでした！タイトな部分もあり細いパーツも多いためイラッとしてムリに曲げると壊れますので優しく扱って下さい。それと批判的なレビュー書いている方いますが、まず説明書みるなりしてから遊んでレビューして欲しいですね。バイザーはきちんと下がりますし蓋も閉まります。マスクの位置をずらしていないだけ！ビークルで腕が地面にスルなら少し横にずらすなりすれば解決する！腰のロックについては、ロックと言うより引っかけてる程度ですが上から被さる側でロックできるので問題なし！胸の装甲が低すぎなので首が長く見えバランスが悪いと意見もありますが首元や胸元の事を言っているのですかね？首の下からいきなり胸がある形の方が不自然だと思いますね。人体に近く設計しているならこちらの方が自然w自立は難しいので立たせないポーズで飾るかスタンドを用意すると良いかと思います。バンダイさんの魂ステージと凸サイズが合うのでオススメです♪

このところのマスターピース同様、ヒンジが多い割に各部のジョイントなど耐久性が高いとは到底思えず、破損と隣り合わせのスリリングな知恵の輪を高い金払ってやらされている感のあるストレスフルな商品。背負ったガワの大きさに比べて接地する足の裏が小さいので相当ポーズを工夫しないと碌に直立すら出来ません。これなら2014年に発売されたGenerationsラインのデラックスクラスの方がよほどマスターピースでした。トランスフォーマーとは変形させて楽しいと思える玩具であって欲しいです。少なくとも蓮井さんが手がけていた頃のMPカーロボは安かったし「こう来たか！」という良い意味での驚きがあったんだけどな。開発陣には色々考え直してもらいたいです。
