Description:
Arcee (Deluxe Class, 2022)
Movie: The Transformers: The Movie
Hasbro ID number: 86-16
TakaraTomy ID number: SS-92
TakaraTomy release date: October, 2022
Accessories: Blaster, "Battle of Autobot City” backdrop
Known designers: Evan Brooks (Hasbro), Hisashi Yuki (TakaraTomy)
Part of the seventeenth wave of Studio Series Deluxe Class toys, Arcee is, surprisingly enough, not a redeco of the Earthrise toy, but rather an extensive retool of the eight-year-old Thrilling 30 toy. She features an entirely new lower body and back half of the car, in service of adding the War for Cybertron Trilogy standard of articulation to robot mode and a more accurate vehicle mode. Her new forearms are directly based on those of her Combiner Hunters toy, now altered to remove the weapon mounts on the sides and increasing the gripping surface of her 5 mm post-compatible hands. She retains the Thrilling 30 toy’s smaller blaster accessory, which can holster on her thighs or mount over her shoulders as on the original toy. The blaster stores under the rear of the car mode in a manner similar to Thrilling 30’s.
Arcee’s waist hinges, while giving her rare ab crunch articulation, do not lock in securely and can come apart when handling. Like her Earthrise predecessor, the rear of the car/backpack on this toy can also be detached as it is on a simple friction hinge. However, it does not seem to be an intentional feature and repeated removal may wear down the connection.
Like the other Studio Series toys, the interior of the package forms a display backdrop, with it depicting the Battle of Autobot City.
Arcee and her wave-mates were revealed by TakaraTomy on May 10, 2022, and set for pre-order in Japanese markets, unusually before Hasbro.
