Transformers Prime Voyager Optimus Prime In-Hand with Comparison to Deluxe

I keep asking myself "Where's the kibble!?" when I look at the new TF:Prime toys. Very impressed.

very nice, bring on the black Nemesis Prime/Scourge repaint.

I'll most likely still get it, but so far, I'm liking the Deluxe more.

Wow how much better does that look! those deluxe in video reviews look like crap.

im buying 2 things Prime Arcee and a box of tissues.

You make it look that amazing, you even give him a nice metalic dark gray plastic for the metal parts in his stomach and then you go and ruin it all buy using the milky gray plastic for his legs, chest and weapons?
For efs sake.....

I know, right?

The figure would have looked awesome but for the skipped paint apps. This whole missing paint thing has gotten WAY out of hand.

I suggest that this be a major subject at the next BotCon Hasbro panel. It's blatent cheapness as well as laziness. Japan can get paint, but we in the US and Europe can't?

(Plus I'll bet you dollars to lugnuts that the sword blade in the figure's left hand is made of "garbage plastic" (aka PVC) and will be deformed out of shape right out of the box)

Where's the silver paint from NYCC????

i think the voyager is perfect (mold-wise) .. but i agree with you guys about the missing paint, i'll probably paint them myself, but that's not the point. it should be there already.

while bringing this issue up at botcon SHOULD be done.. no one will do it. but if someone does, they'll just say that they want to keep the figures affordable for people.. however to me, it seems like the prices steadily keep going up while quality steadily goes down. it sucks.

I guess I'm spoiled from seeing it up close at NYCC, part of me was thinking about it not being the final paint job. Lots of wishful thing, I guess. but honestly it still looks awesome without the paint.

It shall be mine.

Ah like it

As far as the paint goes, at this point I'd just settle for a confirmed release date. Preferably sooner rather than later.
