Not gonna lie......When CDL made an Arcee (CDL-01) and Elita One (CDL-02) figure, but then promptly threw a wrench in the mix and made their Black Cat (CDL-03) one in place of a Chromia one, I found myself thinking "Fine.....I'll do it myself!", bought two of the Elita One (CDL-02), purchased various shades of blue paint and customized one into a Chromia (CDL-?Concept) figure, because I wanted the complete trio in that style. Not to mention, I didn't know if they, or the company that made the original Nicee figure would actually ever get around to making one......Time will tell.....
Optimus Prime loves Elita One's new upgrades and looks. Yeah, Bumblebee did it before with Windblade's looks and upgrades he won't look and take his friend's lady. 17:29
It's My contention that occasional "mis-fitting" features are ("totally deliberate") on part of the engineers!! 🤭 Aside from that though, The overall concept, coloring, & ("design-features") are really "spot-on"!!!! 🤗
I have all three of the CDL ones. The Catwoman is my favorite. Wished they did more as female superheroes. A Wonder Woman one would be choice. I've been wanting to make my own WW out of this figure, but can't paint worth a crap. Also have Nicee and Mocha. "Can't have them dragging on the pavement" was the joke of the day for me. 😂
This figure is interesting, though my personal favorite version of the mold is the CAT (Arcee as Catwoman) version, mainly because I think the general design of the vehicle mode feels very Catwoman-y. Also, if the mold seems familiar to Nice-E... That's because, and here's an interesting backstory, CDL, or at least its main designer, worked for the company that made NICE-E and stole the design, using it to make CDL-1, which was basically what the initial release of NICE-E was supposed to be, resembling a Sexified G1 Arcee. (I know no one asked, it's just an interesting fact I kinda wanted to share.😅)
The weird thing about the CDL bots coming in two boxes is that all of their accessories can fit in a bag in the main box under the clamshell. I got the first in the series a while back and it was the first thing I did. The second box just isn’t needed.
I have the Catwoman version. It's actually quite nice, the materials they used feel top-notch, and it really feels like a legit release even though it's a KO of a third party.
There is a sub-space storage drawer that all Transformers have for accessories. Signed-Richard. Her back-pack can be a jet-pack. Prime has one doesn't he?
I'll bet if Unique Toys took the concepts of both the alt and bot modes here they'd come up with an actual transformer in short order, as opposed to just stuffing a cut up woman held together with armatures inside some car body pieces. Just think of their Galvatron and TLK Prime.
No way!!! I was going to post my video of CDL’s Elita. I’m no where near as cool as Emgo, but still…. Her horns pop off which is easily secured with glue or epoxy. (I also painted the blade of her sword silver. )
Just picked her up and Fansproject Trianix Alpha from BBTS on sale recently. She's actually a nice figure, barring the obvious. I was able to get the gun in her hand using some force and a little twist. A decent item to add to the collection really.
I'm curious to find out how long it takes before the comments become turned off, based on what I'm seeing now (since the last video containing Nicee did have comments turned off....last time I checked)
Considering that Alt is one the KOs from BigFireBird, have you taken and interest on the Bird/Binary figures BFB made? They've been an interesting change of transforming robot. Very Macross.
the nicee mold always has, and still does, weird me out, extremely, I say as a BT-02 Windgirl owner, I do respect them leaning into the oversexualization with the squishy chest part, that is absolutely hilarious, and I do love the details on the joints and stuff, definitely not for me but I do think it's a good figure at least. The skit had me absolutely dying of laughter though.
Looks aside i think this is a pretty good figure i wish the gun hand worked but i like it if you dont like it dont buy it simple as that that goes for anything with that being said.......BAZOOOOOOOMS *falls out of chair*
Honestly? Great effort even if I'm not personally interested in this style of robot. Though that being said? They did do a Catwoman-inspired one who looks CHOICE.
few years ago I had a Nicee on order with some HK company I cant remember the name of. Was 'in stock' the day I ordered her, 24 hours later when the CC cleared she was 'preordered'. After waiting 24 months I cancelled the order & got a knockoff MP52+ thundercracker. Losing $45 in the process cause they refused to refund the difference. Still trying to get one of those. I was going to order this; but the cashflow just wasnt there when they wee in stock. I hate my job.
yeah i'll be honest i've never understood the appeal of these things like even if you have a hard-on for a character why not just search up explicit fanart of them instead of spending $100 or more on smth like this i mean i'm glad it exists for the people who want it but it does suck that there are basically no good third party versions of elita one or windblade that aren't weirdly sexualized
Huh...I never noticed before, but this figure mould's vehicle mode looks a LOT like Penelope Pitstop's car "the Compact Pussycat" from "Wacky Races" doesn't it? It must be this version's color scheme that does it...
I'm looking forward to when they remake Chromia and Moonracer with the Nicee style and call them CTRL and SHIFT.

That would be a pretty smart naming convention for the set ngl.

you may be the only one who got the reference. Congrats!

*See's Elita-1's new look*

(Prime faints)
Im now just imagining a skit where all the fembots just show up and all the bots and cons faint.
And waspinator walk in
Psychological warfare
Emgo with the boob jokes lol
She looks great! Thank you for bringing me out a slump, brother! Your reviews NEVER disappoint!
I wouldn’t mind seeing a Lifeline version, she’s very underrated.
I love this figure a lot. She scales quite well with either 2007, or ROTF Leader class Optimus Prime.
ah, the only reason
@@D0ASKEYep, most definitely. 👍🏻
I never thought in a million years you’d ever get this!😂
Looks nice tho!
I have a few of these already that I've reviewed. this isn't the first.
@@emgo316 that’s… actually a fair point.

That honestly explains a lot on the design tbh. Fun fact appreciated.
@@Twinsidedsoldier Yee. No problem. 👍
@@AngelDust6969 Though I just realized if that we might not get that BFB Kimono Windblade now if the main designer jumped ship.
@@Twinsidedsoldier Possibly.
The name is A L T because if you say each letter separatedly sounds like Elita (ei el tee)

In the words of Optimus Prime himself, "boobies".
... that's not what he said
Amazing a booby trap that Actually catches "boobies"
@@emgo316 I don't know if I'm being nerdy, but in one episode of G-1, Optimus Prime says, "Finally, a booby trap that actually catches boobies".
Boobies it is.
I have the Catwoman version. It's actually quite nice, the materials they used feel top-notch, and it really feels like a legit release even though it's a KO of a third party.

The colours and shape of the vehicle mode made me think of the Compact Pussycat...
Emgo my personal favorite skit that you made was the 5 hour energon because of the scene where Springer beats Shockwave in a battle of wits😂😆😉
13:00 I had the same problem with the blaster, and to fix it I took an X-acto blade the "sanded" the handle and the inner bits of the hand.
Optimus : Who pointed elita to victorion's secret !
Everyone points at swerve .
I'll bet if Unique Toys took the concepts of both the alt and bot modes here they'd come up with an actual transformer in short order, as opposed to just stuffing a cut up woman held together with armatures inside some car body pieces. Just think of their Galvatron and TLK Prime.
I wonder what Lori thinks of this.😅
Let him come
Best transformers figure 👌 ever awesome review

Well.. it'll certainly be appealing to THAT crowd..
... said in a not condescending way at all, I'm sure.
We need this as a moonracer for sure
You're telling me! Prime should did get himself the right girl to go with. Uh Optimus? Are you ok?
@emgo316: No BigFirebird Mooka??
Company also did a knock-off of Nicee with a less metallic colouration and more Arcee-like head.
I have it
@@emgo316 I'd ask if you'll review it, but they're all roughly about the same, I suppose. Would you review Mooka/Mocha instead?
The hands are kinda stretchy, you can wiggle the gun into her hand, I don't see any point in taking it back out once it's in
the hands aren't stretchy at all. that's the problem.
@emgo316 stretchy might not have been a good word, but I was able to wiggle the gun into her hand on mine without the hand or gun breaking
I couldn't manage it no matter what I did. it wouldn't budge.
@emgo316 that's unfortunate, the swords cooler anyway. Or like you said hot water will probably do the trick
T H I C C
This is the closest we have to a Masterpiece Elita-1
Hah! Prime should've come prepared!

You should have mascot review the next firebird toys review then his girlfriend Carla may want to keep him away from another girl. What do you think?
Hi Emgo, do you plan on getting Cang Toys Stegsarow ? I'm waiting for your transformation tutorial 😂😂
I didnt know theres even more repaints such as this 0-0
Yup.....Nicee and Mocha, and then, the three CDL ones......
Someone better stop me
Optimus prime:i am coming
didn't Hasbro already done this with the Netflix elita 1
@emgo316 Do you plan on reviewing Fast and Fury from XTB?
cool

aw yeah bazooms

Should probably turn off comments
Thanks 😂for sharing

Elita-1? Looks more like Elita-2 (suggestive...).
Will you be getting the missing link optimus?
yes. so what do you think of Alt here?
ngl it reminds me a little to that other transformer figure, nicee i think is called??
this is how you can tell who comments before they watch the video LOL!
@@emgo316 kinda, yeah XD, but definitely a remold
Honestly? Great effort even if I'm not personally interested in this style of robot. Though that being said? They did do a Catwoman-inspired one who looks CHOICE.
For the gun holding hand the hair dryer trick should work but you can also achieve good results by putting the part in some hot water.
Ok i say every male likes following her
few years ago I had a Nicee on order with some HK company I cant remember the name of. Was 'in stock' the day I ordered her, 24 hours later when the CC cleared she was 'preordered'. After waiting 24 months I cancelled the order & got a knockoff MP52+ thundercracker. Losing $45 in the process cause they refused to refund the difference.
Still trying to get one of those. I was going to order this; but the cashflow just wasnt there when they wee in stock.
I hate my job.
how long until the comments get a little too wild and need to be disabled
Is it wrong to stop the review, just to admire a certain "picture", and hoping that I won't get slapped?
Just get a Moonracer out & we can have a Charlie's Angelbots thing going.
Maybe a fine grit Dremel sanding auger to fix her hands & not remove TOO much material???🤔
I mean, no, I don't want the twins dragging on the pavement. Hell, just wearing a bra is bad enough some days.
yeah i'll be honest i've never understood the appeal of these things
like even if you have a hard-on for a character why not just search up explicit fanart of them instead of spending $100 or more on smth like this
i mean i'm glad it exists for the people who want it but it does suck that there are basically no good third party versions of elita one or windblade that aren't weirdly sexualized
you don't have to understand it, just accept that this is a thing there's always been a market for.
Seems like im gonna need my best friend lu- i mean jesus our lord and savior
All jokes aside this video is gonna be HARD to watch
Ok im done
Not a fan...
Gross. Great review though
