iGear have added a new item to their online store. Like various other items they have marketed, this is not an item they have created themselves – they are just acting as distributors. The item in question? The MGT-01 Delicate Warrior, the latest unofficial Generation 1 Arcee following on from the various previous releases including the recent Impossible Toys Valkyrie.
Delicate Warrior weighs in with a hefty pricetag a couple of bucks shy of $100, and comes in a Generation 1 styled box that none the less will probably never look right at home with other Generation 1 releases. She comes with two guns and a display base, and also features some die cast metal in the chest and knee joints. He expected release date is October 2010.

BRAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNSSSSSSS LOL
Glad you are you enjoying your 3rd party plastic crack.
Ive thought about getting Arcee but she is not old school G1 enough to be G1 and too G1 and not Classics enough for Classics.
Ièm going to hold on to some insane hope that she sees an official release.

She's worth it!
Just got mine 2 days ago. I was VERY scared that it wasn't going to be worth the HUGE price tag, but I'm extremely happy with it. Worth every penny. It looks better and has more articulation than most Hasbro/Takara toys. If you've been thinking about it but not sure, just do it, you won't regret it.

I got in on the first run….. It's WELL worth the wait. Very high quality. If you are going to order, order now. Otherwise you will be waiting even longer.

Quality is good! Feedback thread is right here:
iGear Arcee
A lot of people have placed orders for her, so you might be in for a long wait.

Anyone out there have a review on this thing? I'm tempted to snag one on the second run, but not sure about quality?

Update from iGear on Nov. 15th release.
Dear iGear customers,
The Reissue PP01C Clear Leader is releasing now, we will ship them out within the next 3 days. Due to customer feedback, we have included a video on our website showcasing the new stronger ABS plastic we are using on PP-01C. The video testing the new plastic on the leg portion ("tank") of PP-01C can be found here: ★Reissue PP01C Clear Leader(In Stock!)
We know many people are concerned about the upcoming release date of MGT-01 Arcee. To provide the best quality on each of these delicate figures, this toy is made by the hands of one person, who makes all of the MGT-01s to assure there are no flaws in the finished product. Unfortunately, because each figure is made by hand, the production process can be longer than expected sometimes. We hope to be able to produce between 30-50pcs per month for release, but for November's orders, we had well over 100 orders placed! We appreciate all of the fans who are purchasing our products, and are working long hours to fill ALL orders. To help get MGT-01 shipped out soon, we will be shipping out the items following the dates in which they were ordered. This is the best and most fair way to fulfill the large number of orders we had this past month, and hope to have all orders filled in a timely fashion.We apologize in advance for any inconvenience, and thank you for your understanding and continued business. We will be updating people's tracking numbers through PayPal after we have shipped out your item. If you don't receive any email from PayPal, please be patient, you will, as we will be pushing the maker to work even faster to meet the increased demand ^ ^
Thanks!

I really really want this figure. But not at $100. $40-$60 is cool. $70 is pushing it, but $100, no way.

You could store the guns the same place that you can store them in vehicle mode, near the back tail fin, where the stand plugs in.
billcosby
Looks nice but I'm not paying more than $40 for this.
Mighty.Maximal
I wonder if she has a place to store her guns in robot mode.
Makes me wonder if it's worth trying to make a cartoon acurate Blurr or a miniture version of Hotrod / Rodimus with a Transformation like the MP Rodimus but around DX size that would be hugely cool.
mac&cheese
takes lots of pics when anyone gets it. the box and figure.
marshall dusty
anyone get in hand pics from ordering theirs? i found this on ACtoys. looks 10 times better than the first release (company escapes my mind) i looked it up. impossible toys.

He might have been just a fan in '98, but from '99 that creator (Hironori Kobayashi) has been employed at TakaraTomy – as the guy in charge of Masterpiece & Alternity toys!

With words from Michael Bay, "I didnt like Arcee, So I killed her" >
Just kidding, She looks so nice as a robot, but only problem I have is that they didnt use her arms in the car mode. Its like they just folded them and tucked them under while the outside looks like a shell. If they made all the parts have a purpose in the transformation I would SO get her. But 100 is steep for it to Not be a MP grade. So sorry Igear, I pass on this one.

Is she out already? I can't wait to see her with the G1 movie figures.

This will be my Classics Arcee, and IT's version will be my G1 version.
