For roughly seven years, this was the only Elita One piece in my collection (I now have over twenty). As much as I've always embraced her as a key character in Transformers lore, the tragic truth is that she had only appeared in a single G1 episode (that most diehard Transformers bros hated). And my handful of Transformers friends had never even heard of her. So this bust was a dream come true for me. She has a perfect classic sculpt from Mark Wong and I didn't hesitate at all to buy her. She was actually my second ever order from BBTS and also my second ever mini-bust purchase (after the 2007 Firestar Bust that opened the floodgates). The only downside to this purchase was my overinflated expectations. I either heard a rumor of a Chromia or just imagined it, but either way I was a little deflated they only made two fembots. But I'm so glad Diamond Select Toys made the first official classically-inspired female Transformers products. Let's check out Elita One below!
I ditched the packaging for this figure two decades ago. These pics above are swiped from the depths of the internet.
I do still have my certificate of authenticity card somewhere, but I couldn't locate it for this post.
These busts have cool vehicle mode schematics on the rear of their bases that look like a computer screen.
This Bust also has removable arms.
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
And here she is with two relatively recent Elita-1 figures: Legacy and War for Cybertron.
Cheers!
