XM Studios - Transformers G1 Premium Collectibles Series

[Cali604]

Looks great! Love all the details!

 

[Cali604]

Let's hope the price is affordable

I wouldn't count on it mate. We know their prices are off the charts. And especially how this Prime is shaping up this will be an instant grail. But it doesn't hurt to hope.

I know Im just hoping its relatively decent pricing as this Optimus does look like it could be an instant grail. Im stoked to see more as I like the direction they are headed.

So so many popular character being made over and over. Bad times for our wallet

 

[ActionJackson83]

Looks as much Bayformer as G1 IMO. Way too much going on there.

Exactly replicated G1 designs are lame, and I would never buy a $400-600 statue based on those outdated simplistic designs.

Indeed!

$400-600... Try doubling or maybe tripling it

 

[slynger]

Love the pose, want to see his overall stance with legs positioned and what kind of base. $1100 or higher for sure.

Retail is $1326 at today's conversion rate for STGCC.

Yes it is retailed at SGD$1799

Optimus Prime is 22 feet / 6.7 meters. Thus, 1/10 scale will be 67 cm.
Seems to me, its in between height of scale 1/4 & 1/3 statues.

The price is still very steep imo.
Even tho it looks fantastic.

 

[slynger]

now let's see the swap out pieces and paint this bad boy up!

 

[ActionJackson83]

People saying $1350 is steep I scoff at them. Prime one transformers are double that

Yes, but compared to Prime 1's G1 Prime it's quite more, but without all the switchouts.

 

[Commander0Zero]

IMHO the good comparison would be Side Show Voltron. An insane amount of detailing at $1250 it's a little under an inch taller. I'll have to see the swap outs to determine overall value of Optimus Prime but it's in striking distance of robot statues in this size. Which is saying you're getting taken to the cleaners collecting giant robots. I would love to own this but we all know the story for XM pieces an North American buyers.

Has it been confirmed there is no worldwide license i.e. top cow?

 

[PermaG]

Guess now I will have to wait and see what PCS comes up with.

 

[Commander0Zero]

They don't have a worldwide license just the Asian market iirc. So if you're in The US prepare for giant sized shipping costs/fees and finding a contact you trust with your cash.
