Movie Optimus Prime (Takara - Ver.) Contains Die-cast!

Sheesh. I don't think I'll be picking up the Leader Class version at all, but if I was going to, the die-cast would make me lean heavily towards buying the Takara version.

You could bitch about anything, couldn't you Ed? Good God. Just because it's related to the movie doesn't mean you *have* to find fault with it. We won't worry you've gone soft if you let one through, honest.

I only wonder what *part* of the figure is die cast. I would assume either part of the torso or the lower legs for balance.

I like it. I have accepted the movie toys and story as just another alternate TF universe. I'll probably get the Takara version of Prime, not just for the die-cast (nice touch) but for the paint apps. I'll wait to see the final cost first.

The way Transformer fans act sometimes you'd think they were rewriting Dostoevsky or Hemingway, or changing the statue of David for a more modern look.

When it comes to the Movie line "it is what it is".

As for this guy...die cast makes me happy. Hopefully this figure doesn't get overpriced stateside.

that is awesome how much will cost difference be any guesses?

Edited because I am'a dumb.

Die-Cast=Whooptee freakin doo!

I'm just gonna get the voyager version. Die Cast or not, this version still looks like Fatimus Prime's slightly less fat cousin.

Gobot, I think you've got it wrong, look at the arrows on the head gimmick, it clearly show that you press down on locking switch and then the head pops up.

yah they could have, but it still is probilly going to be one of the best toys of 2007 anyways
