Re: Prime 1 studio - Optimus Prime (official pictures page 1)
The shotgun is the one he uses in DOTM to take out Sentinel (rather out of character I thought for Prime actually), but anyway, no biggie.
I was out last night, but then I looked at some hi-res pics today and compared them to the actual Prime CG model from the film and they really nail all the details with this piece, unlike the SS or Calibre peice there is no simplification of details here, it really is the proper movie prime.
So jeez Louise it's tempting me again.
I guess the area of biggest concern is the paint, Megs proto looked a tad better than the production pieces, not a massive difference, but a touch better paint, I wonder how they will paint Optimus, the flames and all really need a machine to do it, that would be a hard ask to paint by hand. At that sort of price it needs to look very close to the proto.
The other thing is, I wonder how much is plastic, like I read Meg's head was PVC, which I was a little surprised to hear.
So yeah, I'm leaning towards being in still, it's just the definitive Prime and will be a showpiece of any collection. Maybe I'll just cancel some of my other orders, or all of them
