Exclusive In-Hand Images - Transformers Age of Extinction / Lost Age Optimus Prime by FuRyu

This thing looks pretty cool. A bit small, but cool. Anyone know how much it cost?

Big bad has it up for $25 and change

Looks good. Neck is a bit skinny and he's a lot shorter than I thought he'd be for the price (most prize figures at his price are around 7 inches), but he's also got a pretty detailed sculpt so I guess I can forgive it. I came really close to canceling my order for him, but now I'm glad I didn't. I did cancel my prize BB order, but I might track a used one down later if he's any good.

Also, that art on the side of the box is pretty nice, very TFP looking in its simpler CG.

A non-transforming transformer.. I will never understand that

Sometimes I don't understand how people can play with HotWheels, they don't turn into robots. But there are sometimes I just want a nice figure that'll look good on a shelf, transforming be damned. To each their own.

it looks like the sword has a 5mm diameter handle. it looks just big enough for P-RID Optimus prime / P-BH ultra Magnus

Yeah, statues that aren't toys never make sense.

Given how the transformable attempts at Knight Optimus went, I think one with just the robot mode is more than welcome.

Sorry to say but looking at the instructions the handle is part of the hand

that is a bummer

Something about the proportions. It sorta looks like Ironhide in Optimus Prime cosplay.

That was my exact thought, his big head looks like Ironhide's and the body is a little on the skinny side. It's affordable though. The definitive version of the new Optimus Prime's robot mode would be the model coming out late December.

hiya holks, i wanted to share this: my autobots united 5-pack (sorry crappy phone pic). this is a half assed review i guess



i skipped the general releases of hound, drift, and crosshairs, and boy am i glad i did. hound is a really great figure with PILES of weapons, only drawback being his feet. drift and crosshairs have their drawbacks, but are still some really nice figures. bee is bee, and prime is prime. and some of these figures biggest flaws were the paint apps, which were completely rectified with this set. they are stunning.

and take it from someone who knows EMOP's (ive got 7 and counting), AU prime is probably the best one. one of the few with a faceplate, perfectly placed and crisp paint apps. only thing missing is the wheel rims... *sigh*

Fellow Seibertronian Bounti76 has let us know about the special Amazon edition of Transformers: Age of Extinction Slog, the one featuring the G1 deco to accompany the SDCC Dinobot exclusive box set. It appears that a release date has finally been set, and those who ordered the figure will see it arrive by the beginning of January!

I got an email from Amazon a while back that they were shipping part of an order I'd placed. When the order was first placed, they expected a release date of mid-December for their exclusive G1 redeco of AOE Voyager Class Slog, but it had subsequently been changed to an undetermined release date.

Well, I finally got a follow-up email with them stating that they now have a release date! Attached is the email I got. Looks like he'll be arriving the first week of January!

after waiting this long i was worried it was on the chopping block.

Got my $25 Leader Grimlock from Amazon! Now the Voyager version will be relegated to my "Transformers that kids are allowed to play with" collection (as opposed to the "These are daddy's figures; don't touch!" collection).

I thought that would be the same with me but as it turns out, I take the voyager out more simple because it is more in scale with the others.

I cancelled this figure a long time ago. Hasbro toy shop sold me an SDCC set with a grimlock that had chipped chrome. They refused to exchange just the grimlock. When I got the set exchanged, the figures were perfect but the playset was all torn and damaged. I returned that crap for good and stuck with the colored retail versions. I really never needed these anyways, it was just an impulse buy. Fansproject has the G1 dinobots covered.

You sure, I heard their Slag wasn't as expected.

Hey does anyone know if Toys R Us is going to get the Transformers: Age Of Extinction platinum edition sets?? I haven't seen any and it said online that the Autobots United set was released in October.
