Imaginarium Art Transformers Autobot City Diorama Options

After being revealed here, it seems the final design for the Autobot City diorama been decided. Via Imaginarium Art's Facebook page we get a look at who was chosen to fight alongside Kup.

It looks like the fans have spoken and chosen Ultra Magnus to fight Devastator among the ruins of Autobot City, take a look at the picture below.

So, by diorama, they do mean statue?

Cool?

Hi I am Danny, Owner of Imaginarium Art (IA), you mentioned we had a direct rip off for this design from DX9? Being a new license for us, we are studying the best, relevant and most popular poses that we can make. As you all may know, our design is carefully picked with IDW's Comic Artist, within our team and our fans.

But mentioning ripping off like a copy and paste is a no no for me. our fan base is not big right now but however, i am sure our fans in IA's Facebook would have told us about this. so far, we have not heard it. I am shocked to see this comment

However, we welcome all feedbacks on our design, please send your feedback to us and let us know, feedback@imaginarium-art.com.

These statues look great.... but they don't look all that much better than the Masterpiece toys of the same characters, don't transform and will probably cost significantly more.

I just don't see the point unless they can make these statues really affordable.

Soundwave and the cassettes make for a nice display. They look pretty neat

We saw the unpainted version of the officially licensed Imaginarium Art Soundwave statue, over at CybertronCon, and we now also have a very good look at it with some lovely paint coats applied. Check it all out below, in both video and images, which also show how you can swap out some parts for two different poses!

I was about to ask the same thing. Plus, Rumble is the wrong colour for me. Something else the Masterpiece does right by offering both options.

Even if the statue was lower priced than the MP version, I would have chosen the MP Soundwave over this one in a heartbeat, without any doubt.
Poseable and transformable

I don't think the proportions are even quite right on this thing. The paint app is all it really has going for it in my opinion.

HA! Because that blue paint is what I like least about it. It looks like the wrong hue of blue.
