Statues are rarely posable. I don't think any statue I have is.

Some ultra expensive, ultra premium figures are called "posable statues". But I don't remember the brand. They make Bayverse and IDWverse ones.

Perhaps some. One I paid about 2k (including shipping) isn't posable.

The statue (set for release some time between now and August) will measure approximately 10.5" tall, and features a swappable right arm to give Prime either his Ion Blaster or Energon Axe. It can be pre-ordered from Pop Culture Shock's website for $160 (including an initial deposit) or for $128 if paid all at once. The listing also features more photos from various angles, a few of which we've mirrored below for your convenience!

What do you think of this statue? Does the price seem reasonable to you, or will you be giving it a pass? Let us know your thoughts by posting in the Energon Pub Forums!

Wow, that looks good. Shame I don't collect these kinds of things, cause I'd definitely get this.

Wasn't all that interested before when I assumed it would be a $500 statue, but now knowing it's only $128 and has optional parts I'm quite a bit more interested. :-?

Pop Culture Shock Collectibles Starscream Statue Revealed

Courtesy of the Instagram account for Pop! Culture Shock collectibles, we have the first image of their next officially licensed Transformers statue - after the cell shaded Optimus Prime we have seen, and the Megatron sketch at San Diego Comic Con 2018, both initially designed by Emiliano Santalucia - and it's continuing on the Decepticon line-up with the Seeker leader and faction second-in-command: Starscream!

The prototype is still in its early stages, so plenty of details are still missing, but you can still check it out below and let us know what you think of this new line - does it interest you? Do you want to see more? Is it something you'd consider picking up for display? Join the Energon Pub and share your thoughts!

Starscream is printed. Don’t pay attention to the top of the base or jets fire as those will be hand sculpted

I hope that's not a final size, the big size, and accompanying giant price tag will probably turn away a lot of buyers.

Still looks pretty sweet though.

The Optimus, Megatron, and Soundwave look like cheap "shampoo bottles."
However that Shockwave statue look SAH-WEET! Yeah yeah, price difference and such. But if one have the money and the space for a statue, might as well go for a genuine piece of art.

The fact that Optimus, Megs, and Soundwave are represented by fairly flat renders while the Shockwave statue is represented by what appears to be final product photos probably doesn't do the former any favors.

There's also the fact that the first 3 are 50$ while shockwave is 220$. Apple and oranges, sure, but it's like showing a MPM just after showing one-steps.
