New huge 20 inch optimus prime and bumble bee statues coming very soon!!!!!

i really want a classic devastator in the same quality as sideshow's optimus. It's one of my favorite characters. I paid an arm & leg for the palisade devastator but to be honest the paint quality isnt all that great.....

Ha, I remember him from the cartoons!
He would be a beast though.

I was wondering too if they had an edition set, I just sent them an email.

Good question to ask.
I also wonder when preorder will go up and from who.

Website still says 4th quarter 2012.

Here is answer I got about release date of Optimus and Bumblebee!


Hello Bill, thank you for your email.

There is currently no clear date on the release.

But we are working on an end Oct/ Nov 2012 release, pending licensor approval.

Thank you

Thanks for the info.

A statue that is made to be a figure?! If it wasn't for the price tag, I'd be all for it! I was hoping either HT or EB would make some cool TF figures some day.... But this will have to do.

 

[gagaliya]

they need better weapons for the optimus prime, the current axe + sword looks absolutely pathetic.

 

[whutch]

These are now up for preorder at Robotkingdom.com!

 

[Centurion]

Thank you for the heads up!

I'm going to wait to hear an official announcement by Calibre.
These pieces cost a pretty penny so I'd like to be sure.

 

[hulkmeister]

Just got an email back from Calibre, the edition size will be 500

 

[gagaliya]

I hope some of our overseas brethren here can get a close up look at this thing and provide some feedback.

I'd like to know more about the quality before dropping nearly 2 grand for OP and BB.

ditto, even any reputable oversea sellers is good, i am not that comfortable with the one linked, website looks really unprofessional.

I actually like Bumble Bee more the Optimus. They look great together, gotta have both! I'll add them to my list of things I can't afford right now.

I like how clean the sculpt and paint job look. Hmmm..........I may have to make this work if the production pieces look as good as the prototypes. I'm also curious about what kinds of poses are possible and how good the joints stay in place.

Gotta wait and see some in-hand pics now.

So it will cost an arm and leg to get it to North America then?

 

[Centurion]

So far, it seems these will be sold to us at MSRP and shipping cost is going to hurt.

So customs is sure to stop a big box like this. Then you can get slapped with ...I dont even want to know the fees for a 2000.00 plus box. I like it but too risky. I dont buy from overseas anymore. Not worth the trouble.
