Transformers Earthrise Deluxe Class Arcee



I have been more than pleasantly suprised by Earthrise Deluxe Arcee in many, many ways, this new Arcee figure is one of the most posable and well balanced figures in my entire collection, check out some of the pictures to see what I mean, it is truly amazing. Initial images of the figure were somewhat off-putting in regards to her backpack however in person it is not nearly as egregious and if you so choose, you can remove a portion of the backpack to serve as a hoverboard or as a shield unofficially. Removing the hoverboard portion eliminates the visual backpack issue all together although even with the full backpack, her posability and balance are not at all hindered. Arcee is a shellformer, one of the compromises of maintaining the slender form she had in the original series however it is not a deal breaker by any means. The hoverboard aspect adds a fun degree of play that children and some collectors are sure to enjoy, could this hoverboard feature be a nod to Daniel? or Marty? or maybe both~‍♂️



Arcee includes a small pistol reminiscent of the weapon that she used in the original film and animated series. The weapon can store in the small of her back and she can actually reach it which is an ability I love seeing in figures. Arcee in vehicle mode is just what you would expect, she looks very much like she did in the original series and rolls quite well, when transformered properly there are no clearance issues at all, overall no complaints with the alt mode.



When it comes to the different figures that she has recieved, I would say that the Earthrise Deluxe Class Arcee is superior to Titans Returns Arcee but when it comes to Takara Legends Arcee, it is really determined by your own personal preferences and figure availability, Takara Legends Arcee has a better transformation, more weapons, more paint however Earthrise Arcee is unmatched in posability, balance, and proprtions thanks to her shell forming nature. If you do not yet have an Arcee figure than this one will be perfect for you.



Overall, I really love the figure, without any regard to price point or budget, if there were any areas I would improve within reason, I would love a bit more paint on a few areas such as the face, the lips, the lower legs and torso. Wrist swivels would be amazing on this figure although with such a small frame, I can see how that could pose an issue.



So what do you think of the new Transformers Earthrise Deluxe Class Arcee? Is this a figure that you are thinking about adding to your collection?
