Masterpiece collectors fans looking for Arcee will be pleased to know that 3P Fans Toys has revealed full color pictures of their FT-24 Rouge Masterpiece Scale Arcee.
2005 Boards member dalianjj has shared new full color images of Fans Toys homage to Generation 1 Arcee. We have full body shots which reveal several poses and the interchangeable faces (one with her classic visor). We also get a look at the vehicle mode next to Masterpiece Sideswipe and group pictures in robot mode next to other Fans Toys figures like FT-19 Apache (Masterpiece Springer). FT-17 Hoodlum (Masterpiece Hot Rod) and FT-22 Koot (Masterpiece Kup).
You can check the mirrored images on this news post after the jump and then sound off your impressions at the 2005 Boards!

Indeed a similar joke about a picture someone else posted once of two figures in the same pose. He got so offended he told me to stop quoting him. Some people sure are sensitive.

Another little customization for Rouge. I am not saying her hands are bad, but if you want an alternative then here is the trick. You will need some arms from a spare Arcee or the KO if you have some that you don't need. Just pop off Rouge's arms and if you take the arms from Arcee you will notice they almost fit entirely around the mushroom peg. So you are going to need a very small dremel attachment to make this work. Carefully cut away some of the small gap to make it big enough to fit around the mushroom peg on Rouge's arms. Go slow or you will screw up and make the opening too big or worse go thru the plastic. There is only so much to work with. Do a little on both sides and test and once you have enough shaved off you should be able to screw in Arcee's arms around the pegs. Walaa!! Some alternate arms for Rouge!

So yea, I know this is parts forming, but who cares. It was fun seeing if this would work. I did not have to alter Rouge. I just took the the backpack off her. That was just a few screws. I jacked up an Arcee trying to customize her so I decided to use her hood since she is only good for parts. I did not want to permanently attach it to Rouge's back so I just used some red tack that I bought at Macy's. A shame they don't sell it anymore. It is almost as good as the old orange tack that Elmer's used to sell. They replaced the orange good stuff with that blue crap that does not hold for shit. I did have to shave down some of the inner parts of the hood that would not lay flush against her back at the top. There is a section on Rouge where the plastic flap attaches and it protrudes out. Anyway, thought I would share…

So, I thought I’d transform Rouge since she’s one of only a handful of my figures I’d not done yet… why did I do this??!! I’ve already had to screw her chest plate back on after it just dropped off, and I have little flecks of white paint everywhere, and all I’ve really done so far is the car’s ‘nose’. Wondering if it would be easier/better to persevere or to go back now

By chance does anyone have an extra set of hands they would part with?
I bought my wife Rouge a few months back and she has some really nice 3d printed articulated hands but they don't hold weapons well, I don't have the rifle for Rouge using the MP-51 but the hands just won't support the weight unfortunately.

That would be amazing, no rush my end. I didn't get a reply to the email, sadly.

Well, you know who to PM if Takara wins . Nice display btw!

I’ve got one that’s been on display… I know I have the box… I also own the MP version and I haven’t settled completely on which one will end up on my permanent display, but only one will win

Hopefully a new 2.0 coming soon with no floppy backpack

Is anyone here selling a copy? I am looking for one complete in box, but it doesn’t look like there are many for sale…

Ouch! It may be time for a 2nd copy for vehicle mode if you can't find one for parts. Not sure how much these are going for, though.
Also, a few comments "up" , there was someone that used the official's head. Worst case, you could grab a copy of the TT 4th party Rose, steal the head sculp, and use the rest for a secondary vehicle mode.

Damn. Good luck bro. I almost lost that piece too. Very problematic with it popping off if she takes a fall.
CZ Hazard
Yeah, I'm sort of holding out hope that someone here might have leftovers from a repair job or a junker… or something…
Thanks!

I think it's [email protected]
Being an older release, you may not have much luck however.

Anyone got any spare parts for Rouge, or know what the aftercare email details for FT are? Missing one of the ear covers.

Thanks

Thanks. Yea, she just strikes me as frail. If I need an alt mode I can use MP Arcee.
Unfortunately, it does not. I like both heads. They are great in their own way.
