Freaked Out
I want that Bumblebee statue, the DMK Bee was a letdown.
Anyone see this yet? A 20"inch Optimus Prime. Not sure if this is a custom or not.
$1500???
From what I heard, the company who is making these is Calibre. They have acquired a license from Takara.

not a statue necessarily...
Very nice DK. I was thinking of getting it as well but just can't pull the trigger yet

I could happily go the rest of my life without seeing another Movie Prime or Bumblebee.
Too bad that another piece of excrement thinly disguised as a TF movie is on the way as that'll mean another couple of hundred new versions.
There's good news though as the apparent price for Fans Toys Soundwave with Laserbeak is going to be in the region of $115....damn good for a Masterpiece scale toy if you ask me.
A customiser at TFW2005 ( anemis ) has also hinted that he's been approached by a 3rd party company about possibly producing his Skyfire which is based on the G1 cartoon and Dreamwave art.
If that happens and the same scale is kept it will likely cost a LOT but it would be a thing of beauty.
Thats exactly what I'm thinking too...
I found it at a navy exchange for only $30. No tax plus I had a scratch off coupon of a whopping 5% off
Anyways gonna keep it in vehicle mode, I say it's worth it if you like movie Prime.
I know ppl are complaining about the estimated price of that new Movie Prime statue/figure thing, but it's only $300 more than the price of sideshow's statue. But this one will have real metal parts and rubber tires, lights and all that other good stuff plus it's roughly the same size as the Sideshow one. If I can swing it, i'll get it. That price is steep but I think it will be worth it in the end of course though, that all depends on the final product and patin apps and such
