Quick review: Impossible Toys TRNS-01 Valkyrie

[Pascal]

PROS

-G1 Arcee!
-good sculpt
-G1-esque box and instructions
-guns stay in the hands during transformation, much like ROTF DLX Brawn
-easy to transform
-good arm articulation

CONS

-questionable paint job, dirty
-delicate
-nothing really locks anywhere (torso and shoulder plates should but they don't feel like it, tabs are too small and the minute you try to pose the figure they untab)
-loose right foot (could be just mine)
-neck joint is REALLY stiff (be careful)
-no waist rotation
-hard to balance
-bad print quality for the instructions

My call? For hardcore collectors and display only. And wait for a sale.

[pulsedragon20]

what a bad paint job

[General Tekno]

How does the face look in person?

I've noticed the details don't photograph well at all.

[QuadESL63]

Not very impressive :( but this will probably be the G1-looking Arcee we will ever get...

[Pascal]

How does the face look in person?

I've noticed the details don't photograph well at all.

The face sculpt is excellent imo, it's just that the head is all white with 2 blue eyes. Some plastic flash though, I'll have to trim it.

[General Tekno]

The face sculpt is excellent imo, it's just that the head is all white with 2 blue eyes.

Ah - I see.

Though going off the pics, would it be accurate to say the spottier parts of the paint app masks aren't really going to be noticeable in either mode? It looks to me like the masks are off in the bits that you tend to have covered, like the underside of the cockpit.

And as for the head, I was wondering on that myself, but looking at G1 Arcee there's enough prior work of her with a white face as well as the helmet. So that seems accurate enough. Was mainly curious as the white does NOT photograph well at all.

[Shockwave 75]

If I could get it cheap, I'd bite. But I'm happy with my Animated Arcee for now.

[Pascal]

Yeah, the dirty spots are too noticeable actually, they're just there. Some of the pink apps are quite thin though, like on the front portion of the car and the left side of the waist.

[pandaprime]

darn I already paid for mine. :(

[tilallr1]

Too bad about the bad paint app. It shows that the production was rushed. Are the guns built in or non-removable?

Are you going to be adding Autobot faction symbols? If so I suggest the following locations:

http://monsterrebellion.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/arcee-dreamwave.jpg?w=497&h=660

[Pascal]

Yes, guns are removable, and yes, I will add Autobot symbols. :)

EDIT: Just tried. I could put the smallest one for the robot mode, but there's not enough room in alt mode for another one. Anyway it would look silly because both faction symbols would show up in robot mode, the white portion of the front of the car being the abdomen in robot mode.

[tilallr1]

Yes, guns are removable, and yes, I will add Autobot symbols. :)

Awesome.:D

[Bruticus82]

I'm disappointed by the quality of the paint job. Hopefully they aren't all that bad, or there are going to be a lot of angry fans.

I'd also be lying if I said I wasn't concerned about the TFCon exclusive....

[Pascal]

Hopefully they saved the best QC for the TFcon version.

[UltraPrimal]

Yeah, you're right. Arcee is a dirty girl.:D

Now I'm having second thoughts about pick her and the Paragon Medic repaint up at TFCon.:(

[UltraMarknus]

Wow, that is unacceptably bad. If they do another run and fix the paint issues, I'll consider it.

[Me.Grimlock.King]

Dam%it, I already bought it!

[Magnimus]

Woof.

Glad I decided to pass on this.

[teruo313]

I wonder if this is any indication of the Tfcon exclusive. I passed on Arcee (don't really care for the character) and if this is any indication, I will be passing on Nightbird as well.

[MisBio12]

im getting nightbird. After reading this review im having second thoughts

[Aernaroth]

Weird, that black stuff doesn't look as much like paint as mold lubricant or something. Are the pink parts cast or painted? Do the black smears come off with rubbing alcohol?

[jourdo]

My call? For hardcore collectors and display only. And wait for a sale.

Thanks for the review. I think I will be following this advice... but for now it will remain on the pass list.

[Tekkamanraiden]

Compared to the video they posted a month ago this almost looks like a ko.

[Pascal]

Weird, that black stuff doesn't look as much like paint as mold lubricant or something. Are the pink parts cast or painted? Do the black smears come off with rubbing alcohol?

All the pink parts appear to be painted. Haven't tried to remove the black smears yet, I'm scared I'll ruin the pink paint apps by accident.

[Aernaroth]

All the pink parts appear to be painted. Haven't tried to remove the black smears yet, I'm scared I'll ruin the pink paint apps by accident.

It's something worth a shot, maybe on one of those underside pieces that wont really be seen ever.

It's also possible that the smearing may be due to it being one of the first figures through the die, but I can't back that up without seeing more of these, and that doesn't necessarily address the other paint issues, like the pink "bleed" at certain places. I do hope this is an isolated case, however.

Compared to other 3rd party sets, how does the QC compare?

[Matrix_Holder]

ugh!!! That must be a KO, has anyone seen the Nightbird figure? how are the paint apps for it?

[Sureshot22]

oh boy im worried now about nightbird.... and i bought 2,,,

le sigh,,

sure am glad i didnt bite on that and the medic version.. i was tempted but it looks pretty aweful

[Jeem]

As a representative of China, I apologize.

That paint app is not acceptable, I guess I'll have to pass too

[Breakdown]

Absolutely horrible. I was truly excited for this mould, but I'm completely and utterly glad that I didn't bother throwing my money away on this item.

I can't wait to see the TFCon version now.

[JLvatron]

That looks waaay too much like shoddy knock off or rejected prototypes.

I have yet to hear about the mass Arcee being damaged, and have only high expectations for Arcee (and Night-Bird).

[Protoman]

It's a good thing Night-Bird is a billion times better in every way.

[Matrix_Holder]

Glad to hear that, I would hate to have my 1st TFcon spoiled buy a KO ish exclusive. Speaking of Nightbird, how much are extra figures to buy and can we buy them on friday night when we pick up the prereg figures?

[hugh_da_man]

It's a good thing Night-Bird is a billion times better in every way.

pictures so we can see for ourselves?

[astrana]

It's a good thing Night-Bird is a billion times better in every way.

pics or didnt happen :D

[UltraMagnus69]

Thanks for reviewing this pascal. The paint apps are unacceptable and I will definately be staying away from this and the nightbird version. I'm not taking risks with items this pricey.

[venksta]

Hey Pascal, did you order yours from BBTS? I thought she just went in stock a couple days ago, haha.

[Bruticus82]

Hey Pascal, did you order yours from BBTS? I thought she just went in stock a couple days ago, haha.

Yeah, here's what he wrote on another forum:

"I got it from BBTS, along with 2 equally disappointing PCC 5-packs. http://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif"

[venksta]

Yeah, here's what he wrote on another forum:

"I got it from BBTS, along with 2 equally disappointing PCC 5-packs. http://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif"

I think he got a bad figure that shouldn't have passed the QC test. If possible, just send it back to BBTS and get a new one. Those paint smears are really bad.

[EmGo316]

I'll be getting mine from bbts soon. I hope it's really not that bad.

[Dragon Knight]

Now I'm really curious to see how Nightbird will turn out...

[Megamould]

So I just got 2 of these things, the crap paint jobs don't stop.

I can see what looks like brush strokes in the finish. At least one of the ones I got looks better than the other.

Arcee #1

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d171/overfloater36/IMG_2737-1.jpg

This is the better of the two. Paint seems laid on pretty thick though. Theres a big smudge on the windshield.


Arcee #2

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d171/overfloater36/IMG_2736.jpg


Black choppy line on the chest area, flashing on the fender. Not happy! Need to open them up and check the rest out. Might be returning these. Should have been $30 tops, not $70.

[Megamould]

So yeah... out of package pics.
Not so good.

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d171/overfloater36/IMG_2758.jpg

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d171/overfloater36/IMG_2742.jpg

This one has the same floppy right foot problem that Pascal's had. Paint job on the left foot is brutal. Don't know how that made it past quality control.

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d171/overfloater36/IMG_2751.jpg

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d171/overfloater36/IMG_2762.jpg

Nice crack on the right arm.

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d171/overfloater36/IMG_2744.jpg

I think this one is going back to BBTS.

[Detective Barricade]

Glad I didn't bother with these. Even if I paid $35 for that I'd feel ripped off it looks like!:eek: And this is what, twice that?:eek::eek:

[Dragon Knight]

Wow, I was gonna try and track down Arcee in the dealer room this weekend...but now I think I'd rather save my money for something else.

[Pascal]

I'm not wasting any more money returning this figure to BBTS for what will be a similar figure with similar issues in return. Shipping it back would probably require tracking, and I already paid for UPS airmail shipping + all the various fees.

And to be honest, I don't think a new headsculpt with a different paint job will save that mold, unless the entire figure is sprayed with black paint.

[pandaprime]

darn I already paid for mine. :(

thanks for all the quick reviewing! I decided to cancel my order since it hasn't shipped yet and apply the store credit to the Seacons instead. :)

Comments like this make me really want to see a Night-bird before buying one.

[Pascal]

Actually, if the entire figure is painted and painted WELL, it *could* help solve some of the problems, like the loose foot. A layer of paint would probably add friction to that area. Also, adding some thickness to the tabs with paint would maybe help them lock better. Time will tell!

Not counting the bad paint job, I think I made the figure sound worse than it really is. I would compare it more to a Studio Half Eye figure (although rougher - molding on SHE figures is usually impeccable, and that's not the case with this figure, some plastic flash and some parts that don't join seamlessly) than a Transformer toy. Something cool but relatively fragile meant to be put on display and transformed a few times. It doesn't have the toy-like qualities of the stuff released by Fansproject, for example.

[Janitor]

WOW! :eek: <--not the good kind

Big time thanks go to both Pascal and Megamould for their reviews (you took one for the team!). I came thisclose to plunking down $ for that Arcee, hoping to put it amongst my G1s. Now I know better.

Barring a miracle, I'm now seriously reconsidering purchasing a certain "bird" that flies at night.

[Robimus]

I gotta admit I still like the alt mode a lot and think she works well enough as a robot. The trick from the look of things will be to find one with a decent paint job.

I'll still pick one up at some point if I can. If she's less possible than I imagined then I'll pose her with the G1 collection.

[Megamould]

Here's a few pics of the "nicer" Arcee I got. The paint apps aren't nearly as bad, although floppy joints are still a problem. The tabs on the shoulders and chest don't connect on this one either. This one is decent for display, still way over priced though.

Even with all the flaws it's still pretty cool. Buyer beware though! If anyone plans on picking one up at TFCon I'd take a real good look at it before you commit.

[Pascal]

Which joints are you having problems with? On mine, only the right foot is loose, the other joints are all nice and tight.

[Stepper]

Greets fellow members, I am a long time reader but never really had the nerve to post here untill reading this review, So I wanted to add my two cents. I got both the Arcee and the Medic today and both mine have no paint issues or problems and I am very happy as the pastic is very strong. The back of the chest did have some over paint but its in a spot you cant see but I myself cleaned it off with nailpolish remover and a Q-Tip, I am not picky like some but wanted to try it as I clean overspray off my hasbro transformers all the time. I have also purchased the Nightbird toy and am not worried in the least and I hope I can find the judge at the con.

Possible Impossible Toys Employee. Things that make you go hmmm.

[Sokar]

Looking at the images here, I don't think I'll be picking this figure up until I hear more positive review of it.

I can deal with the paint apps being a bit messy, or the occasional loose joint. After all, it's nothing that we haven't seen before in the hasbro products (especially some of the animated figures).

The big killer for me though is how dirty the toys are. If I buy something new, it had better look new, and from these photos, it looks like these have been played with by kids or something like that. They just look used already.

It's a very nice design, and I've got to give the thumbs up to IT for creating such a nice figure, but whoever was in charge of quality control should do their job better

[Stepper]

Possible Impossible Toys Employee. Things that make you go hmmm.

Why would you say that? Because I wanted to put on record mine are ok and I am happy. I really think you need to put more thought into your postings because not everyone follows the crowd. My friend ordered the 01 also so lets see when he picks his up at the post office tomorrow.

[Richter]

Venksta did the remolding on nightbird, so at least that part of her should be good ;)

Do you mind posting some pics of yours?

[Megamould]

Which joints are you having problems with? On mine, only the right foot is loose, the other joints are all nice and tight.

Right foot & the swivel joint under the left shoulder. If I pick either of them up the left arm flops to the side. Probably fixable with a little nail polish or some extra paint.

[Pascal]

Yeah, I want to see close-ups of his figure(s). I can hardly believe the molding could suddenly be perfect. Bad paint apps are easy to get rid of I guess, but bad molding (I too have a "splitted" right upper arm, amongst other things)... You can see that the chest piece just rest against the torso in their promotional video, it doesn't lock. And shoulder plates are just held in place by friction, just like on mine.

[Bruticus82]

I'm still worried, but we will have more people receiving their arcees today, and Friday I'm sure. More information/reviews is always a good thing.

[Slave]

I'm still getting one of this (I really want at LEAST one Arcee in my TF collection G1 cant be fount at decent price... Animated cant be found anywhere, TF movie Arcee is way too friggin' ugly, cybertron Arcee sucks, and Transmetal Arcee is way overprice LOL)... so getting this figure none the less... it's a gamble... but I hope mine is not as bad as the ones shown in the pictures :-\

Ordering it from BBTS, it's in my pile of loot... and I'm only waiting for PE-02 Shadow Demolitions & Shadow Pack Set to be available and I'll ship the loot ;)

[Pascal]

Added 2 more pics on page 1 with some Reprolabels.

Worse case - I'm looking at a bit of repainting here - It's nice to have an Arcee that will fit in...

G1 Arcee does not exist, hence why this toy was even made by a third party group. ;)

[Cheers Ian]

Hmm.

Going to have to think long and hard about getting this figure now. I don't think I'm willing to shell out almost 70-80 dollars for a sub par figure.

Hey Pascal - Do you think you could post some shots with some G1 figures?

Cheers!

Ahhhh, no wonder it was so damn pricey... it must've been a custom made back then (seen it years ago lol):D

I would make a joke about Arcee having two men inside her and having her hands located in between their legs, but I'm too much of a gentleman to make such a low class tort.

[astrana]

Venksta did the remolding on nightbird, so at least that part of her should be good ;)

what does remolding has anything to do with factory QC problem?

[Aernaroth]

I'll just leave this here.

[UltraMarknus]

Wait for a second run people. Have patience before jumping the gun on gaurenteed disappointment. They can't possibly keep producing them in this condition...I hope...

[Sureshot22]

anyone want to buy 2 nightbirds?

will have after saturday............

pm if interested. sigh

[Pascal]

Wait for a second run people.

Mold degradation? :)

[tilallr1]

I must admit ... after the Quintesson figures I was expecting a bit more, but then again there were a ton of Q/C problems with the later ones of those as well.

Pascal (http://www.cybertron.ca/boards/member.php?u=107), thanks for posting the pics with the Autobot symbols, its starting to look better, at least to me. But at least I won't have high hopes. Maybe a custom paint job is in order. ;)

I ordered mine late, so hopefully it might have been less rushed, but doubt it. Mine just got shipped from BBTS yesterday.

To put things in perspective, it still looks 10 times better than that Rabid Squirrel (CYBERFEMBOT) one, and its a lot cheaper (Cyberfembot went for something like $300 at times) and assembled for you at least.

[Pascal]

Yeah, the Rabid Squirrel version was utter crap. Saw it at TFcon 2 years ago, horrible quality. I think Crobot91 eventually picked it up. Poor fella. I think he sold it back recently though.

[tilallr1]

I think Crobot91 eventually picked it up. Poor fella. I think he sold it back recently though.

Poor Crobot91 :(

Hopefully he didn't lose too much on the deal when he sold it.

So Pascal, any more pics? Possibly with other G1 Transformers the Movie characters?

[payton34]

I don't know what's worse, the QC problems on this, or the fact that they're going for $150+ on ebay when you can still order them from BBTS for $70. http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/images/smilies/crazy.gif


There's a custom Arcee on ebay right now (made from the Animated Blurr mold) that looks 10x better than this, IMO. Granted, it's more expensive, but still...I'd suggest getting a Blurr figure & repainting it.

It's just some (nice) random Arcee. Still no G1 Arcee. That's the thing.

[Richter]

what does remolding has anything to do with factory QC problem?

at least THAT part of her will be good (the remold)

Ya, grammar is hard to understand sometimes

[Mega-Prime 316]

Hey guys!! Just got my TRNS-01 Valkyrie yesterday from BBTS! It arrived in a box about a foot long and about 10 inces across and about 3inches deep! I was expecting something alot bigger! This toy cost me way more then I think it was worth it was almost $80 Cnd from the store then when it arrived it cost me another $14 customs! :( All things considered, mine seems to be better then most. Paint apps are not that bad, yes if you twist the figure under bright light you will see some brush strokes in the pink painted areas, but there are not black blotches/fingerprints on mine and there is no "over spray" on any of the white. Only gripes about the head/face is that they could maybe have made it fit tighter so the 2 halves would have a little less of a visable seam and maybe a little more painted detail on the face to make it "pop" a liitle more.
Well thats my 2 cents worth. :)

[Dragon Knight]

Whoa, Nightbird's going for 140-170$ on ebay!

[Richter]

I haven't opened mine yet, so far I'm not to impressed with the mold, but the remold is great. I'm torn!

[tilallr1]

Well got mine a couple of days ago and I had mixed feelings about her. First, I too had the same problems ... bad/incomplete paint job ... loose feet ... brittle feeling ... arm seams ... etc ...

But once I set her up along side the rest of the G1 Transformers the Movie gang, a void was filled in my heart and my collection. For years, I wished that Hasbro had not left her out and made a toy for her back in the 80's. Probably due to my OCD. Now that wish has become a reality thanks to impossible toys.

So is she worth the $70/$80 price tag ... well that depends on the reasons you want her. For display and completest reasons I think she is perfect. Any other reason and she will fall flat ... literally.

[Pascal]

As ugly as it was, Takara should reissue the original G1 prototype instead. :)

My eyes they burn.

Of course the 6" Titanium line one would have been cool. But still not as accurate as the Impossible Toys version.

http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery2/gallery/d/89354-4/51.jpg

[Pascal]

Ugh, 6Ti Arcee & Shockwave... They need to release them.

[Sun Swipe Prime]

Just got my Valkyrie in the mail. Not as bad as I was fearing but not as good as I'd hoped. I was fortunate to geat a decent paint job and the bicepts are secure. Although, there's a noticable line where the two pieces of plastic meet.

You definitely need kid gloves to handle the figure. It's defintely not for play. The plastic feels fragile in some areas but solid in others. Overall it feels and looks like a model kit that someone put together. The posibility isn't that great. There are joints, but the thighs don't have swivels so there aren't too many cool poses you can put her in. For me, the only real pose you can get is the one where she's crouched. Coincidentally, it's the one she's always pictured in.

In terms of it's $80 price tag, which includes shipping, its not worth that much. IMHO this is a $40-50 figure at best, and is only for collectors who absolutely need to fill that arcee hole. (Keep your minds out of the gutter. :p)

Overall, the mold looks pretty good, and has/had so much potential, but a few things that make it fall short of being great. Too bad there wasn't any die-cast. :( I'd rate it as a 7.0-7.5 out of 10.

[Richter]

Hahaha ... I'll fill that arcee hole!!

[UltraMarknus]

Ugly yes, but I would murder for that toy to have a TRUE G1 Arcee.

[Aernaroth]

Repaint a Chromedome pink. That's what they were going to do.

[Slave]

I juste got mine today and I gotta say the paint job on mine is good, nothing bad at all... you see some paint brush on the fron fenders, but nothing much else...

My only problem with it is the right arm not opening properly... more likely to snap out of its socket than just rotating notmaly. and the chest piece not snapping with the armpit tabs...

Otherwise... it's a great figure... feels really flimsy, but it's a nice one...

Just got mine yesterday with the BBTS pile of loot: paint job is a bit off (e.g. white paint has gone to the pink chest armor area) but the joints are a lot tighter than my TFCon Nightbird.
