I also didn't do that great in the QC department the backpack on mine won't align entirely, the tabs for the removable backpack won't aline with the slots in the non-removable part, which coupled with it being super loose, means it flops and swings around if left in. I honestly debated if I wanted to return the figure right after opening it, something I haven't done in 13 years or so at the least. This thing is barely a Transformer no part of the robot actually interacts with the Alt mode! If the arms or legs actually had a dedicated tab in integration of any kind, it would've been a passable figure, barely.
This is my first exposure to the mold and I'm really disappointed. Otherwise, if you only want to get one WFC fembot, this is the one you're looking for. Having more newly molded parts aside the head is also nice. The paint apps overall make a significant positive difference. She definitely does the mold better than Arcee. Wu katanas and balancing the large backpack: The stiff thighs do make transformation more challenging along with the spiked shoulders getting in the way of the wheel panels.Įxtra picture showing large backpack and custom blasters:Īnother extra picture showing Dr. As the 3mm pegs are not painted over, one does not have to worry about paint scuffs there. There is actually less paint on Elita-1's car shell compared to Arcee but still works well with her color scheme. In addition, as the back parts of the torso and pelvis remain the same as Arcee, it does not exactly match the molding of the front parts. This view also shows how the back part of her head remains in red plastic and is not painted over. There is paint on Elita-1's rear pelvis but not her torso. Butt blaster storage remains the same.Īrcee lacked paint behind her torso and pelvis. The new backpack / alt mode hood molding is seen here. In this view, the new head, spiked shoulders, front torso, and front pelvis are seen. Unlike Arcee's head, Elita-1's head is able to move vertically.Īgain, the extra paint apps compared to Arcee make a huge difference. The shoulder spikes also partially interfere with transformation of her car shell. She has less range of motion in her shoulders due to the shoulder spikes: to get the arms above the head, you need to rotate the shoulder joint upside down.
Her hip and thigh joints are much more stiff compared to Arcee. She has more paint overall compared to Arcee. Her white thighs are completely painted over. Like Arcee, she is molded in 3 base plastic colors, this time with tan, red, and clear blue, with all other details being painted on. She does have multiple newly molded parts: new head, new shoulders, new front torso, new front pelvis, and new front alt mode hood / small backpack.
This review will focus on differences with Earthrise Arcee and show various pictures.Įlita-1 is not a straight redeco of Arcee.
