Animated Arcee Leg Mod

Friday, October 22nd, 2010

Way back when I first got Animated Arcee, I did a The MOAR You Know post about her, but didn’t mention the mod I did for her leg.

The lower part of Arcee’s right leg just wouldn’t close up at the knee for bot mode. The left was fine, but there was too much plastic on the right one.

Originally I was waiting to see if other people were reporting the problem, and I posted a very quick guide on the feedback thread on tfw2005 for it.  It’s probably still an excess plastic variance issue, but quite a few people have complained about it.

For instance, Luke’s Arcee had an issue at first, but after he pushed a little harder it worked fine after that. On my Arcee there was too much plastic to the point that forcing it either wouldn’t work or might have broken something.

But as the feedback thread on tfw2005 still has people complaining about it, it looks like the issue is there even with the running change for Arcee’s plastic color.

So if you happen to have an Arcee and it has this problem, here’s a quick guide on how to fix it.

The MOAR You Know – Animated Arcee

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

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.

My Arcee has this problem, even though the swords fit fine if you slide them in from the top (which I do). I even very very lightly shaved off some plastic from the handles, just to make it less stressful.

So did my Arcee have stressmarks right out of the box? I don’t know. I didn’t even look until Luke pointed it out.

Thankfully, it’s hardly a stress mark at all, and is just a faint discoloration at the base of her thumb.

So what’s the moar you know about Arcee about?
