I really don't like the windows with the red behind it. And the head looks horrible.
I really hope this thing drives down the price of the Henkei OP =X

The head needs a little love, specifically the eyes. Otherwise I'm game.

There's plenty to like about this guy, but he's just straight unappealing to me.
I really enjoyed Hegemon while I had him, but sold him off because I wasn't happy with the joint & overall plastic quality. Not that I need Hegemon to get this OP, but I'm just not into TW's vibe, I guess.
At any rate, I already have my definitive Prime: MP-10 (TRU version!)

Re: Toyworld TW-02 Orion (IDW Optimus Prime)
Well, I bit on this guy.
I doubt he is coming out in August, and I feel somewhere down the road Hasbro is going do a similar toy, but I felt I couldn't pass on him.
I'm going to take chance that he is indeed not 9-10 inches tall being that he is the same price as Hegemon.
I think in hands, the face sculpt is going to look better, and the colors will too.

The Aces Toy Store pre-order is no longer saying that is is 9 - 10 inches tall. So hopefully that was a miscommunication and he will scale well with Hegemon

Yeah, daelite20 had made the mistake and removed it from the product listing page. Orion will be the same height as Hegemon

Thank you for confirming this for me! I am once again loving this

Re: Toyworld TW-02 Orion (IDW Optimus Prime)
I'm still perplexed by this August release date.
They have had other items on preorder much longer that are only getting release much later than August?

Just checked Captured Prey and Aces Toy Store, both saying a release date of September (15th according to Aces).
Trying to work out delivery to the U.K., guess that would put this around the £80 mark or there abouts?

These pictures are unflattering.
I want a better Optimus than the Henkei on that's on my shelf, but I don't think this one is it.

Re: Toyworld TW-02 Orion (IDW Optimus Prime)
I like this... I just hope you can fiddle with some of the panels to make him more angular and sleek. Something about the paint apps on the legs bother me too.
The red looks different in the 2 new pictures, which is weird?
I still think the head will look better in hand. Plus I looked the IDW Optimus up, not all artists gave him the tall pointy ears. It depends who was drawing him....
A Hasbro version seemed like a nobrainer, but it doesn't seem like they are going to get to one?

Nitpicking it may be, but these guys create the most uninspiring packagaing I have ever seen.

If the red plastic is as deep as it looks in those packaging images i might end up getting this .

I love Hegemon, but this still doesn't beat Henkei Prime. It's rare for me to say this, but Has/Tak still reigns supreme.

I really need a review of this guy before making my final choice. What I need to know is:
--What colour of red is he?
--How good is the light piping?
--Will he work with FansProject's Trailer?
--What accessories does he come with?

I think some mr.color on the chest w/reprolabel symbol(and the eyes if the piping suffers) we've got a solid chunky prime. The classics arm kibble kills me.
