Animated Arcee owners have been reporting stress marks on her hands, and while most figured this was just because of a tight fit with the swords, people are starting to report the problem right out of the package.

You may remember my K-mart ire about Leader Brawl’s desert version.
I acquired a one (for SIGNIFICANTLY less than $50) and was pretty happy with it. Deluxe is my favorite size, and it takes a lot for me to like a Leader Class mold.
Larger robots have to be pretty cool, or made up of five magical robot space lions, or something.
