In a relatively short 18 months, I we have gotten 9 Elita-1 figures from Transformers One. I think that has got to be a record for any female character in film-related merchandising blitz. Even a major character like Black Widow in the MCU would be lucky to get maybe five figures for a movie. But for some reason Elita-1 hit the jackpot. It's especially surprising considering she was excluded from the first few waves of movie merchandising. I honestly thought the main figure would be a Burger King toy. Boy was I wrong. I was unaware that toy company ThreeZero made 1:12 scale figure. I thought their product was solely in the high-end 1:6 scale market. And while this figure was at a much higher price point than I would typically pay for a 5" non-transforming Transformer, I was super curious and I wasn't disappointed in the quality at all. She is perfectly sculpted, features 46 points of articulation (according to the promotional material... I didn't count), and heavy die-cast parts. Let's check out Elita-1 below!
Elita some with a rifle, three sets of hands, and white panels for the band of her hands that need to be swapped out for each set. I found the wrist pegs to be very delicate so I did not swap hand for these pictures.
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here is the MDLX Arcee with the Hasbro Studio Series figure (on the Right). They are very similar in scale and feel. The MDLX is more than double the price, non-transforming, and has die-cast parts.
And here are all my Transformers One Elita-1 figures. From Left to Right: From Left to Right: The Auldey import figure, The Hasbro Robot Battler, the Yolopark 5" Cog-Less Mode, Blokees Classic Class Model Kit, Blokees Galaxy Version Model Kit, ThreeZero MDLX, Hasbro Studio Series, the Yolopark 7" Cogged Mode, and the Burger King Kid's Meal figure.
Cheers!
