I would honestly buy the fembot figures if they were ever made, If only two were made I'd have to say I'd vote for a G1 style Arcee and Elita 1. Anyone else think that having fembot toys would be a cool idea?

I'd buy'em. I getting E. Acree as soon hits my stores. But I don't see them becoming a main stay as toys. The line is geared toward males: ages 5 and up, and lets be honest, female TF's have cooties. :)

What about some models made for collectors. Or are they too riskey? I see no problem on that. I want some fembots because they're cool.

Bah. If we can get Blot like that creepy TAI taking a bath with a Skybite tub-toy and RiD Optimus leering at her from behind a rock...

 

More fembot TFs!!!!

 

:tflaugh

I dont think slow sales will be a problem, since Ive never seen Blackarachnia warming shelves, I dont think Arcee will iether. B-sides, not just 5 y/o boys buy these things, obviously!

:pfx Hence the 5 & UP

 

But all the TF kiddy lines were/are geared to a younger, male demograhpic and most little boys don't like girl robots. G1 never had a Acree figure for that reason. Fembots, like Acree, are for the most part, fanservice and some eat it up, just like they did with Blackarachnia.

Sorry, had Energon on the brain. I wouldn't mind models, if they were done in a tasteful manner.

Arcee probably won't be a hot seller with young boys.

In fact, in making Arcee one per case of twelve, Hasbro seems to be counting on this.

I think they actually made this figure for US!

Maybe Archer does love us, after all...

Then who can suggest other lines that made their product to adult collectors (15+) that has female shaped robots on them? Something like this Evangelion's Asuka figure http://www.justbetoys.com/misc/asuka.jpg (http://www.justbetoys.com/misc/) or the Macross 7's VF-11MAXL Custom Thunderbolt ( http://www.mahq.net/mecha/macross/macross7/vf-11maxlkai.htm ) or Fei Yen from Virtaul On Cyber Troopers ( http://members.tripod.com/~BeLgDor/cybertr...rs/Fei-Yen.html )

 

... and sorry for bothering you with my questionable tastes on mecha, but I can NOT live without them. :tfsad

Those examples are all originally geared for the Japanese collector market. We're scared of cooties. ;)

Yeah, well.. you boys just go over there (points) and be 'scared of cooties'.
