With all the movie and modern television versions of Arcee and Elita-1 action figures filling the toy shelves in recent years, it is really nice to see a series super classic G1 figures. Auldey is Chinese company with origins making knockoff racecar toys and yoyos in the early 90s. Over the years, they have legitimized their business and become well-known for producing toys from popular brands like Pokemon and Super Wings. But this Transformers blind box series is the first thing that got me excited. The sculpts are very representative of the 80's animated look and the figure scales vary drastically depending on the character.. but reflect the actual character scale in the vintage cartoon. (Arcee is on the small side). This was my first Auldey purchase but I have a movie Elita-1 on the way and there is a classic G1 Elita-1 coming in wave 2. I'm very hopeful we might see some more classic ladies. I for some reason keep envisioning a Firestar as a chase figure. Here's hoping! Let's check out Arcee below!
The Asian toy markets always seem surprisingly comfortable with higher-priced blind boxed items. I have trouble taking a blind gamble with anything over 10 bucks, so I will always be resorting to eBay for these to avoid the risk of pricey disappointment.
Arcee comes with four pair of hands and three guns.
Arcee comes with four Energon cubes. These came taped in a baggie inside the packaging (not in the plastic display tray with the rest of the accessories). From online pics I've seen, all the figures come with these.
The cubes are translucent purple with nearly opaque rust-colored edges.
She also comes with a Collector Card.
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here is Arcee with the Dr. Wu Amie and Hasbro Earthrise Arcee figures.
Cheers!
