Thanks to Weibo user Alucardo (阿鲁卡多), we are treated a gallery depicting a painted prototype of Toyworld’s TW-M06 Leia, their take on a Masterpiece inspired Generations 1 Arcee that was revealed originally at TFcon Toronto 2016. From these images we can see the paint job brings that head sculpt and details to life in robot mode. We are also treated to shots of the vehicle mode from front and back, showing off painted details like seats and headlights .
In addition, we see this Masterpiece inspired figure striking a variety of poses, demonstrating the wide range of articulation build into this piece. These images also shown off some of the included accessories such as a pair of pistols, pair of katana with sheaths, and what appears to be 3 pairs of interchangable hands. Lastly, Leia is pictured next to MP-22 Masterpiece Ultra Magnus for a sense of scale, putting this figure at around the same height as most of the official Aubobot Masterpiece figure released to date. Unfortunately no price or release date was announced along with this reveal. Check out the images of this figure after the break, and let us know your thoughts of it on the boards.

That was for FT Rouge.

Just check back after 2 days… I think the fan service chest piece is not for TW Leia, it's actually for FT, and I do think that is pretty disgusting, since it's made by some unknown 3rd part as add-on for FT, you can't really blame TW or FT for it.
Just the figure itself, I don't feel TW is more fan service than FT or MMC or MP version, maybe the body shape is better than the others?

Zeta is putting this up for pre-orders on TaoBao. It is described as "pearl painted". I guess this is the same as the original ToyWorld release? Zeta's original release was metallic.
From pics, the car mode looked okay if you put the swords on it.
My gripe is that the head is a couple of sizes too small.

All right man. I see you’re still replying and didn’t get as long winded or “heated” as I was. I should respectfully do the same.
Agree to disagree about the chest piece I suppose.
Back on topic about this figure:
Everything I mentioned should just serve as a “warning” to anyone thinking about picking up this figure. It’s all my opinion(s) of course; but the fact of the matter is she was never really a well designed figure to begin with.
If you guys really want one of these so badly, check out the BST section and get one for super cheap before checking other sites.

Trust me, I look to Alex Jones for memes, not information. Tbh idk anyone who takes em seriously.

I … I just …
I dont know man. If it looks like a fucking duck, quacks like a duck … it’s probably a… turtle right?
Your logic is always way out there. I have read countless posts of yours and roll my eyes constantly.
I tried giving you the benefit of the doubt after you said something asinine about Brie Larson hating white men or some dumb ass shit like that. I thought you know – you were just a bit ignorant and didn’t know better – but nope. Doesn’t look that way.
I’m assuming (I can assume too) you’re also a fan of that Pedo Alex Jones. Or is that a little too far down the rabbit hole, even for you?
It’s a fucking fan service chest man. It doesn’t take more than 2 brain cells to to rub together to see that. One is the chest, which is extremely accurate to the cartoon and the other is a bulbous chest piece, clearly giving the illusion to bigger “breasts.”
octobotimus
Because it’s a boxy robot. If that’s what you see, your problem. The real world is far more fan-service than a box with angles.
Honesty
wat
I like how you assume. You’re “good” at that. Me and a few others were some of the first people to even own this figure. It was on RK before anywhere else and a few of us snagged copies.
There was also no other “MP” Arcee’s in existence during this time period. Had FT’s existed, or even MMC’s; I would have gotten one or the other, before this figure.
I had zero idea the extent of this figures shittiness until I had it in hand.
Keep living your best life tho, broh.
Edit: Also what the what about anime lmfao. How can you fucking sit there and say the huge tits OPTIONAL chest piece isn’t fan service.
man

The only thing I really like on the Takara is the head and holster. Holster is cool.
Guns, too. Leia's suck. They look like $1 KO weapons.
octobotimus
I mean, it’s kinda hard to accidentally buy a bad figure and still keep it nowadays. Reviews exist.
Also, that’s a fan service chest? Man, you haven’t seen a single anime have you?

Even though I like this toy, I agree with you that it's badly designed. My issue is that you basically drove into the side of a building, and yet you blamed the building for being in your way. That's funny to me.
Honesty
An amazingly amazing congratulations to you then sir; for seemingly going your entire life without ever purchasing a single thing you may have regretted in hand later, in your likely 30+ years on this planet.
I find it absolutely highly unlikely, but I’ll take your word for it.
Well, it is your choice to use the bulbous fan service chest when doing your comparison – but yes – I meant more from the side. You say it looks fine; but I find it looks somewhat similar to the officials low hanging chest design. Not as bad, but looks pretty terrible (to me).
xueyue2
What's wrong with Leia's chest? Certainly no worse than FT' version. Looks perfectly fine with me, either viewing front or side.
While MP Arcee is too low
ultraman zoffy
And yet, you bought it. lol Not like it was some sight unseen real estate purchase or something you couldn't have avoided. Sounds like the problem is your purchasing judgement rather than a fault of Toyworld/Zeta. I pass up stuff all the time when I don't dig the design, it isn't that hard.
Honesty
I never really ever had buyers remorse; but this is up there with one of the worst TF purchases I’ve ever made.
Opinions of course. My opinion is this figure is absolutely terrible.
The Zeta version is a “polished ‘turd’” especially. The face is nice because it was actually altered and looks nice painted up — the rest of the body is the same Garbo they released before though — unfinished and absolutely bonkers looking.
People (including me) make fun of the up and coming official Arcee and her chest; yet I see no one complaining about the insanely stupid and very similar looking chest on this figure.
Her chest sucks. Her feet suck. And if you have a V1; her head sucks too (no pun intended).
Scourgatron
Does the Zeta have the TW creak? It's up there with people grinding their teeth.
xueyue2
I guess because the robot mode looks good, since most of the people will display in robot mode.

This Arcee looks unfinished. Why would you ever have a figure where the alt mode is incomplete? Sigh…
