Decided to check out the Arcee for myself since so many out there have used it. It is most definitely 1/18th scale! I love it, even just in motorcycle mode! So far its the only new transformer I have purchased (got some on a birthday cake a couple years ago, thought that was kind of odd though...) Decided to try it out with a 25th joe custom. Colors dont match but the figures sits nicely! gonna post more pics with it in robot mode later. As its 1/18th scale it definitely was a fit for my collection. When I am working again I just might have to pick up a couple more of these for customizing.

I picked this up with the intent to paint and customize it. Never got around to it though. Maybe seeing yours will inspire me to dig it out.

a repaint/redeco of Arcee? not that I know of. I don't think they even repainted the figure and gave it a different name, I think magenta is the only color scheme for the mold so far.
if there's been a repaint, it's news to me.

That was my only 25th joe figure that was not still packed away from the apartment inspection, so he was chosen.

Yeah, I think there was a repaint.
I think it was a Target exclusive.
I think she was blue, I thought I saw one once on one of my toy trips to the big city, but passed on it at the time.
Ebay or goole it, it should come up.

oh the Cyclones! I think Destroids were the very large non-transformable mecha employed by the REF/RDF forces. The transformable fighers were veritechs (or in the origional unmodified Macross series, Valkries...)
Hmmm Narceron...thats a good idea! I think the show Bubblegum Crisis had motorcycle that wrapped arround one of the power armors but its been a very long time since I saw that to be sure.

Ah! Yeah! The Cyclones!
They made a couple 1/18 scale Cyclones earlier this year, I was broke at the time. Pretty sure they sold out.

hawkeye broke? I'm curious how any of us are anything other than broke with the cost of toys, well, cool toys, Still, beats golfing or boating, I guess, Yeah, I was Narceron at the time (read out of work), I've just got to try not to spend all the money I am making over here on toys. It's hard with internet access and nothing better somedays that to look for cool stuff. And fuck yeah it beats boating or golfing!

I don't understand how anyone takes golf seriously. Yeah its fun to go out onto the course and smash the ball arond like Happy fucking Gilmore once or twice but thats the extent of it I think. Really, there's people that get super competetive to win it and/or go really crazy if they can't go and get their golf on.
boating, no. I don't like water.

I love boating, the only thing better than relaxing on a river, lake, or the ocean on a boat is sex on a boat or customizing Joes.
What has my world and life come to when I think customizing is as fun as sex.
