At first I thought her Arms Micron was the battle blade stolen from the NYCC FE Arcee. It's very....pink. If I had to complain about this toy...the giant pink gun sword would be it.
Not that I don't like gun swords....but its just...so...pink...
Are those paint apps or decals? It's kinda hard to tell on the picture.
Still!
Will be getting this asap!

Decals. Arms Micron toys don't have paint apps (other than the face).WiEGoP wrote:Are those paint apps or decals? It's kinda hard to tell on the picture.

The toy is mainly blue. I can't see how it's too pink.freaky777 wrote:WOW!!! That's a little to pink..
Unless you mean the minicon, and IMO swords can be as pink as they want to.

Thanks! I knew that they were supposed to be decals, but I wasn't quite sure.
Now if only they would come out with a Arms Micron Ratchet that is more show accurate than the stupid RiD one.

Freaky77 probably means that it's more loud a shade of pink than was expected, since her pink is much lighter a shade int he show (even in evening and nighttime scenes).orangeitis wrote:The toy is mainly blue. I can't see how it's too pink.freaky777 wrote:WOW!!! That's a little to pink..

I got the one Am that appealed to me, Skywarp..I don't dig the idea of stickers vs paint aps but putting the little micron together was kinda cool

I gotta say the rid weapons are better(it's just two bad the rid version only has 1 arm blade).

I agree on the weapons (on both counts), that's why I got 2 RiD's (and the blades are currently attached to the arms of my FE).
I may swap them to the AM version though, as the blue looks more accurate and overall, I like this mold better than the FE as it's more accurate on several counts.

Of course I did, I'm a pervert, it's what I do.

The RiD Ratchet is the better one. Trust me. The extra kibble for the micron and stickers for the AM version are stupid.

Oh thank god I'm not the only one that thought that looked like a boob.

It's their gimmick. Allowing the consumer to "complete" the figure with the stickers adds a sense of personalization. Even if it's superficial, you put those stickers on, and you built that Micron. This toy is yours. That's what they're shooting for. As a selling point, it has its pros and cons, no doubt, but that's why there's the US versions.

That's not paint on those figures. That's a wide variety of different colored plastics. The darker blue on Arms Micron Optimus is simply a darker blue plastic rather than a dark blue paint.JamesLasagnaboy wrote:What's with the misconception that none of the AM figs have paint? Sure, Ratchet & Cliff and some others may be scarce, but let's not forget the Skywarp or Megatron they gave us, that look fantastic without the stickers, or even the Optimus, which has even improved paint!

Because they DON'T have paint, except in areas that are too small to reasonably put a sticker in, and the heads.

I beg to differ. I have Skywarp, and he has TONS of paint. Everything in this picture that looks like paint IS paint except for the Decepticon insignia and the details on the tops of his wings that look gray:
He has tons of silver paint on his chest and crotch and that really nice metallic orange Takara used for the cockpit.
Not everything on the AM figures are stickers, and it isn't just small details that they painted either. I know, because I own most of them (and the Hasbro versions as well).
