New In Hand Images of Takara Transformers TAV 21 Optimus Prime and TAV 23 Jazz

Posted by william-james88 Jul 29, 2015 at 8:30pm CDT 22,008 views
Seibertron's very own Kanrabat was kind to snap a bunch of photos providing a more in depth look at Takara's TAV 21 Optimus Prime (get it? because the trailer has depth this time, I am here all week!), which is an exclusive Takara mold. He was released the same time as TAV 23 Jazz, of which Kanrabat also took some picutres.

Despite his finnicky transformation, Optimus is well worth owning and the infamous leg gap don't bother me at all. Also, Takara Jazz is a sight to behold!

So, enjoy!



























































And there you go, folks.

Nice pics, Kanrabat. I'm still waiting for my stack from TFSource to ship. I should be getting TAV-21 Optimus, TAV Sideswipe and Jazz, and MP Bumblebee by the end of the week. I can hardly wait, and your in-hand pictures aren't making it any easier, lol!

By the way, I find it amazing how I could barely notice his hallow legs in your pics. From front, side and back it is done so that you cant tell. What are his sounds and lights like? Does he speak Japanese?

I used EMS. It was a whopping 4000y of shipping, but the other option was SAL at 3850y. So, EMS it was. And MAN, that was almost Star-Trek Beam-Me-Up fast!

Thanks K! He looks good. I think you just sold me on him. And thanks for the shot of him with Cybertron Prime. That really shows how HUGE he is.

Will - you're right about the legs.

Haha, very funny cobotron.

Looking back at the pics, I realize there is something I dont like, the feet point outward in an odd way rather than inward. Is that normal?

Also, here are some more pics of this beast!

At :50 it sounds like he is throwing up. Probably had too much fermented energon.

Try some Gary Chalk as Prime. It might expand your horizons of acceptable voice actors for robots named Optimus.

I was gonna suggest that. He works really well.

Thank goodness you chose a Cybertron clip and not one from Armada or Energon.

Though, Neil Kaplan and David Kaye are great Optimuses too, with Kaye working well as a young Optimus and Kaplan being self-proclaimed as "the George Lazenby of Optimus Primes". ;)

Thank you Fenrir! Sure, that store is a bit more expensive than Amiami, but it's nice to have the option.

So, 2 Runabouts will be mine eventually! One to go with Takara Menasor, the other to keep sealed.

Ah yes, he is very good, thanks for the education guys. I like the metallic ring too their voice as well, I didn't realize that was something missing from my life. And the transformations were cool. I missed this series when it aired, well now I have something for my next binge watch session.

You, me and a ton of other people. I'm pretty sure the only way to get one now is to sell a kidney or your first born.
