Imaginarium Art shared a full color image of their upcoming G1 Arcee Statue via their Facebook account.
Imaginarium Art take on the classic G1 fembot brings us a very stylized, close to human body proportions Arcee. She is displayed ready to shoot her laser gun and holding an energy sword.
It is still unknown on which of the two Imaginarium Art scales this statue will be released. The bigger ones that cost around $1000 or the smaller line “Legacy Of Cybertron” which go for around $350 or $400.
You can now check out the mirrored image after the jump and let us know if this new Arcee statue pleases your optics or not.

love the sculpt but the flesh tone face ruins it.

Disappointing
The original color looked fantastic

Well, I'm going to assume this company will still want to work with Hastak in the future and not do anything that'll piss them off. Those 3P companies producing unlicensed Primes don't have the same intentions.

Still weird considering all other 3P Optimuses having the same color scheme. Maybe this was some contractual thing with Hastak after their deal was off?

I'm just gonna unsubscribe to this thread, since this "Arcee" statue is dead to me.
Peace out!

Not only was it already too expensive for me, now it doesn't even appeal to me visually anymore, easiest pass ever.

Lol. Wut
I thought IDW was full of “SJW’s” and “woke” propaganda? Dang. The “haters” really can’t decide anymore.
I know this remark is a year and a half old but no. No one in IDW looks like a cosplayer (unless you’re referring to Lawerance’s style — and even then I’d say some of the dudes do. Not the females); and no one looks like they’re wearing bikini’s. Or body paint.
Nautica? Arcee? Velocity? Firestar? Chromia? Windblade? No, no, no, no, no and no.
Anyways ….
I laughed when I read this. Yep. This looks terrible now.

@bman29 in SE Asia, the singular, colored figure is USD$599, and the 2-pack goes for $725.

How does licensing for something this expensive fall through? Someone definitely fucked up.

I prefer the original version on the first page. The flesh colored face is oddly off putting. How much is this supposed/speculated to be?

I gotcha. I just find it odd that they changed the colour set so much when, honestly speaking, this barely looks like any established version of Arcee anyway. The colours are still clearly Arcee, it’s just the fact that not only are they done differently, but they’re done worse that’s boggling my mind.

The weird colouring is because this is no longer an official product, and a license dodge instead. She's not "Arcee". She's a "robot police officer" as per the item description.

As I mentioned in my post, I was referring to the original coloured render, not the grey prototype.
BlackRazak
For those that still fancy the original renders, add $120 for an accompanying "prototype" at 1/2 size (30x18x22cm)
So you get both! Plus a 24K gold plated coin.

Not a big fan of the final colouration. Even as a less convertible looking Arcee the colours look weird, like the cut off line for the “shoe” makes the shin look kinda awkward when they earlier had the boot look that worked far better. The pink is also too dark for the way too human-coloured face. I would’ve much preferred the original colour layout they had.
Still looks decent, but I think it’s a definite step down from the renders.

Well, with the casual approach of 3P companies (licensed or otherwise) regarding release dates…
What are fans supposed to do? IMHO this arcee statue is gorgeous. Has a real Ralph McQuerrie vibe to it.
In fact, when comparing this sculpt to their Devastator, Autobots, Seekers, etc. Arcee looks like they outside contracted.
All traces of her have disappeared from their website.
Maybe the artist just decided to hawk it off?
To "PlayCool"?
Though the new colors are a bit off.
Didn't want to risk not getting this.
So i put in a deposit; fingers crossed I'm successful as the order date had lapsed.
Have to hand it to KO corporations though.
I've purchased BOTH Hasbro SS Constructicons as well as the Aoyi Mech versions.
The knockoffs are superior. This applies to the Nemesis Prime variant of SS38!

Big oof on this one.
