I'm sure some nicer lighting would show these off much better. Pretty excited to finally be able to get that Black Prime. Crystal stuff isn't really my thing but it sure looks nice.

Just putting it out there, but BBTS seems to have the black Prime back up for pre-order. I thought folks might want to know... OR already knew and I'm just catching on... either way, there yinz go...

Both look totally awesome!

Both are Japan exclusives.

Both will sell for over 9000$ each...

Nemesis Prime vs. Black Optimus Prime, who would win? Who looks better? Who actually represents a clone?

Hello Black Prime you sexy thing you.

I just canceled mine so I selfishly hope it doesn't look much better in person. Pics are making it look just a little easier to pass on. The grays appear to be real dull... I still love those red windows, though.

Yes it's $100 for a black version of a figure I own twice, but it certainly appears to be worth it.
