I'm picking this version up, also, that is certain.

Really? The thumbs looks the same to me.
They really should've just molded closed fists.

Yeah, I guess they are the same when I look closer.

Bodhar is selling Arcee for $30.00 shipped. I'll post below, but leave the email off. I can PM you that later if you like.
Hello Everyone,
I have been getting numerous e-mails regarding the 4 EZ Exclusive Animated Figures. Also, I would like to apologize for the tardiness of the e-mail as I have been retooling my e-mail list to make things smoother on my end. So, to answer people’s questions, the new Japanese exclusive EZ animated figures include:
Animated Optimus Prime Clear Red Version
Purchase over 3000yen worth of Transformers Animated merchandise
Animated Prowl Clear Smog Version
Purchase either TA-01 Optimus Prime or TA-06 Megatron
Animated Bumblebee Clear Yellow Version
Purchase over 3000yen worth of Transformers Animated merchandise
Animated Starscream Clear Purple Version
Purchase either TA01 Optimus Prime or TA06 Megatron
You can see the pictures here:
http://www.takaratomy.co.jp/products/TF ... fa_02.html
Now, I am selling the set of 4 for $100 TOTAL SHIPPED. Which I feel is reasonable considering the hoops my friends and I will have to go through to obtain these sought after figures. However, to prevent an overflow of Animated figures into my already cramped Transformer Storage room I am also asking those who wish to get all of the figures to kindly purchase the following Takara/Tomy figures:
Animated Optimus Prime AND Megatron: $90 SHIPPED
Choose 3 of the following (SHIPPED):
A) Animated Activators CliffJumper & Dirge: $30
B) Animated Arcee: $30
C) Animated Bumblebee: $30 <- Recommended (gold chrome version)
D) Animated Soundwave: $30
E) Animated Prowl: $30
F) Animated Swoop: $30
G) Animated Ratchet: $30
H) Animated Blackarachnia: $30
I) Animated Bulkhead: $45
J) Animated Blitzwing: $45
K) Animated Lugnut: $45
L) Animated Starscream: $45
If you don’t want the Animated figures, then I can still sell the set of four for $220 SHIPPED. But obviously, getting the animated toys is the better deal.
If you would like multiples of the EZ figures, then please e-mail me how many you would like and I’ll quote you accordingly.
Rules:
1) Please send me your order to (EDITED) and please write “Transformers Animated EZ” in the subject line (without the quotes). And place your order. Please include:
A) Name
B) Country (no need for the full address, I will use the address listed on your Paypal account)
C) Paypal ID
D) Which THREE Animated Figures along with Prime/Megatron (Just please use the corresponding letters)
Again, I will only ship to the address listed on your Paypal account.
Ok, that is all for now, and I will again continue to update everyone about further TF Japanese exclusives and I look forward to all your replies!
Best Regards,
-B2K-

This is all very confusing... you have to buy minimum 3 figures?

way I read it is that you've got to get the Megatron and Prime set at $90, then 3 additional figures for $30 or more. You do get the teeny tiny exclusives though. Suppose a few folks could get together and pick and choose though.

But I'm not seeing much improvement here.
Posted by Dead Metal on April 23rd, 2010 @ 2:34pm CDT
Since I have to import this ether way and Hasbro costs about as much as this to get here I'll just get this one.
Would be cool though is Hasbro brought stuff like this over so I wouldn't have to import 9 out of 10 figures.

If you just want to order an Arcee from him just ask. He's great to do business with.
The whole deal is him trying to get his regulars (like myself) the Legends exclusives. Since you have to buy so much in TFs to get them, he has to get friends to go in to do it for him (who he reimburses+).
The deal is you can buy anything in any combination you want, but if you want the four exclusives you either have to take some of his stock off his hands that he has to buy to get them, or you can just pay him a crapload of money.
He sells singles of the regular figs too, and is on eBay. Very trustworthy, super good to do business with.

Khan!!!!!
I mean you know frustration. I love the cards that come with the Japanese figures when I buy them.
Did you get your free incentive legend toys too?

Nah, I didn't go to any of the big stores. I knew they'd be sold out.
She seems to have the same thumb issues as the Hasbro version. Bad form Takara. Bad form.

What did you use to do that? I used a sharpee to color around the eyes, and it doesnt rub off unless you force it with water, then rub it with your hands.

Cool, thanks! I'm still hopeful about finding the Hasbro release though, especially since they're supposed to be showing up more lately, so hopefully I don't have to order it.

I used fine tipped pens like Gundam Markers on her face and eyes. I used fine tipped paint pens on her Princess Lea buns. Heres what she looks like now. I painted her fingers white. The forward part of her backpack Black and the black eye liner under her eyes and her knee joints white.
