Really like that sculpt, but the snout on Grimlock is too pointy.

I don't understand these statues and non transforming action-figure styled releases. They're unbound by the limits of engineering yet they so often look worse than a fully fledged transforming figure...

Imaginarium Art has posted a new picture of one of its upcoming projects that was announced over a year ago, this time as the form of Rodimus Prime! Rodimus Prime is seen in the new picture holding up the Matrix, as he did when he became a Prime. The figure is rumored to have 2 additional poses and is supposed to be as posable as the recent Ultra Magnus statue. You can check out the image below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

Just out of curiosity does anyone on this forum buy these statues or any of the other expensive TF statues around? I'm wondering how profitable they actually are cos they do seem a very niche item.

Somebody is buying them because they keep making more and they ain't getting cheaper.

Practically every one of these statues are gorgeous but definitely out of my price range. BBTS sold out of the Unicron statue pre-order and that thing was going for $799!

Courtesy of the official Facebook page for Imaginarium Art, we have a new image of their statue for Rodimus Prime - with some design reimaginings, almost from scratch! Check it the sculpt prototype out below.

That looks pretty awesome. Shame that Rodimus Prime never really got much of a character, even in the Marvel UK comics.

too bad it's just a statue. still hoping for a Voyager Class Rodimus Prime with a trailer.

Looks a bit weird to me. The chest for example. And I've never been fond of over-exagerrating his spoiler wings like that cos they'd look just silly in alt-mode.

It was only a matter of time before statue-makers Imaginarium Art took their shot at a G1 styled Optimus Prime. Thanks to their Facebook page, we have a colour image of the product which includes an open chest with an exposed Matrix of Leadership, his trailer and his done companion Roller! The release date has yet to be determined. Imaginarium Art stated "Purchase order hasn't begun yet. We'll post announcements as soon as he's ready." They also stated Optimus Prime "... is currently in the factory" and "Pricing not determined yet. Should be known by October." Stay tuned to Seibertron.com for additional information and details about this exciting product. Check out the image below, and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub forums.

Is it just me, or does that look weirdly out of scale with... itself...?

Via the official Facebook page for Imaginarium Art, we have a look at some prototype close-up shots of the latest offering: Optimus Prime statue with Roller and Combat Deck. Check out the colourless shots below, and compare to the coloured version here!

For how much this'll cost and what it comes with, you may as well buy Takara's MP-10

A person that can afford one of these most certainly would already have MP-10 or at least have passed over that option. People don't usually buy statues as an alternative to figures (though the opposite may be true doe to the price). They usually buy them as a display piece with better detailing and paint.

That's a fair point. I'd love to be on that upper echelon of TF collecting. Everything else aside the statue does looks amazing, something for MPs to strive for perhaps, ha. This is just a statue and has no articulation right?
