So I saw this neat third party Arcee, sold under the "The Legadnary Heroes" line up from Newage and ordered it after seeing how good it looked.
For the size of the figure, it's certainly not cheap. But I have to say, unlike some other third party figures, the engineering and build quality on this are quite impressive, with the only real missing feature being functional hands - they cheat a bit by having removable fists, though to be fair the fists can stay on during transformation... it's just that there are two sets (open and gripping).
Other accessories include three weapons and an extra face plate. Overall, this toy is like a very tiny Masterpiece version.
Transformation results in a bot mode with some of the best articulation I've seen for a figure at this size, though to be fair I don't exactly collect too many. All your standard Deluxe class articulation points are present, including an ab crunch, as well as double jointed elbows/knees and a head design that actually allows for a large range of tilt. Ankle articulation could stand to be a tad better. Otherwise the only real missing thing would be shoulders like the MP version.
I don't think there's anywhere to mount the weapons onto the body, so that would have been nice as well.
