iGear's latest creation is fresh off the assembly line. The third party has been diligently working on a mini-version of Masterpiece Optimus Prime. This version comes in three different paint schemes - PP01 Faith, PP01-B Nemesis, and PP01-C Clear. The figures are not mini in any sense, as they stand taller than a Voyager Class figure. Check out the packaging, courtesy of iGear's product page.







The Leaders will be set for release in the next few weeks, specifically the 28th of March for PP01, and early April for the other two versions.

Any word on a price for these? If they're around the same as a deluxe they may be a convention pick-up. But honestly, I'm not really that excited for them. I don't need a scaled down MP Prime with an anime head. I've got Classics. That's all I need.

$95 US.

L-O-L

I don't think I will be picking up any of these. I would consider a Nemesis Prime, but $95 is just not going to leave my wallet for these.

$95 for a smaller version of something I already payed £50 for????


Screw that. Come talk to me when they cost about $40

[Torneira]

It's not cheap sheep Tele 2 lol

I think I'll just order Faith Leader and that's it, when I have the cash for it

That is so right on the money. I would definitely pay $40, but their asking price is quite unreasonable. I think the product looks good-from the limited pictures in package-but it isn't worthy of a Takara price tag at all. I would rather just pay a little extra and grab the genuine article.

Exactly. We can pretty much assume this is made of inferior plastic to the masterpiece version, is made of less plastic anyway, and it's not exactly like it took a lot of r&d to create considering they'd only need to take the measurements for the original and shrink it ¬¬

They're being unrealistic tbh.

I thought they were "Faite, Hope, Love" LoL

One of the things that I didn't like with the Masterpiece Prime mold is the size. Being too big made him unplayable, add to that his die cast metal parts which made him hard to balance as well. Maybe this one would solve both problems.

It will be a definite pick-up for me if they released an Ultra Magnus version since I'm a Magnus fan.

Not sure how these fit into a collection display.

Is this supposed to replace the classics mold? That isnt likely.

The original MP 01 is a better fit with the alternators line. No luck there.

A voyager sized MP 01 seems to be the answer to a question no one asked, not sure what I would even do with them.

[Nujevad]

From what I heard, they're the same size as the masterpiece seekers and Grimlock.

[UltraPrimal]

Same price as the real Masterpiece?! I guess this will be a clearance pick up then.

[RK_Striker_JK_5]

Wow... this is so reaching by them. What a total waste and rip-off. *Glances to MP Prime that cost 55 bucks* Yeah... pass.
