Well sideshow (I think it was sideshow) did a sexy movie Starscream statue - you might have missed that one - was about 1700 usd, LEDs. I woulda got it if I had the money at the time. But since I have a nostalgic love of G1 Starscream - I decided ultimately to get that one. I don't understand all this BS with people complaing what others like. Companies want to make money, and they know G1 is a popular line and will generally sell. They may not want to take a risk of making something with a high price tag that won't do well - I can't imagine kicker being popular. If you also refer to me as one of the bellyachers who likes G1, keep in mind, I am pretty open minded and enjoy most, if not all series (energon aside)

You can ignore Fenrir, most do, he just spouts this to see if anyone takes the bait.

Because what he says is nonsense anyway, its not just G1 stuff out there. There are statues out there for G1, Live action films, a cross of the two, and Beast Wars.

Will keep in mind.

From the official Facebook page for Imaginarium Art, the licensed makers of Transformers statues with a redesigned take on the Generation 1 aesthetics, we have a small handful of updates. First up, a simple art teaser for an upcoming project, featuring the yellow scout Bumblebee, reusing the art seen on the Cyber Battalion toy packaging.



Next is the final colour version for the Jazz figure, updating the previous story about the statue we reported on here.



And finally, we have the first physical proof of the next project they're working on: a statue of purple leader of the Decepticons, Galvatron. Check it out below!

I wanna see a customizer put a hacksaw to one of these statues and make them transform.

looks like the same design as titans return Galvatron

Imaginarium Art has posted a new render for an upcoming Wheeljack Statue on Facebook. So far we can only see the torso without colors but it gives us the impression that this statue will be based on G1 Wheeljack. Unfortunately there are no other details so we don't yet know when this statue will be released, how much it will cost or even how big it will be. Feel free to speculate on the boards. If you are not familiar with Imaginarium Art feel free to read up on some of their previous statues. We have a wonderful review of Imaginarium's Coronation Starscream to give you an idea of what these statues could be like. Though they usually are not as large as Coronation Starscream, they certainly are very detailed. Again we hope to hear your thoughts on this statue on the boards!

What the heck did they do to his wings? Talk about a pointless redesign, it looks terrible.

I don't think these wings are bad at all, they actually look really good on this redesign. I was expecting people to complain about his rocket launcher being on the wrong side, which doesn't bother me either. I like what Imaginarium is going for here

Remember about a month ago there was a teaser image for a new Imaginarium Art statue of Wheeljack? Well, today we have news that he has been fully revealed for us to see!

Thanks to a Facebook post from Imaginarium, we have a new image of the Autobot scientist in his new style, looking very nice and very cool. The statue is another installation of their re-imaginings of G1 figures and bodies with more Movie-verse levels of detailing, though Wheeljack does seem to be a bit less detailed than his contemporaries.

But what is really cool and sort of funny is how Wheeljack is posed, leaning down on 1 knee over what looks like an invention of his, aiming his smaller blaster, seemingly inspired by his original blaster, into the sky, while holding a big ole gatling gun in his right hand. There are said to be additional accessories he can hold as well, though they have not been revealed yet.

Check out the new image below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

Can't wait to see it painted.

Thanks to a tweet from site sponsor BigBadToyStore, we have a new image of the upcoming Imaginarium Art Transformers statues!

This new image encompasses several statues that have so far made it into the grey model phase of production. For those wondering, we have not seen any grey models of Galvatron, Bumblebee or the Quintessons, merely a single rough prototype for Galvatron and the other 2 hinted at. These figures are all Imaginarium's own designs, taking the bodies of the G1 characters and updating them with some movie-esque levels of details.

In the image, from left to right, we have: Ironhide, Optimus Prime, Jazz, Devastator, a trio of Seekers that is most assuredly Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp, and the newly revealed Wheeljack, giving us a look at this back and showing us that he needs a giant gatling gun to fight Devastator, of course. Rodimus Prime and Nemesis Prime, both of whom have full color models and pre-orders live, are not pictured.

Check out the new image below, and let us know what you think of it in the comments section below!

all i see is a large amount of wasted money there.... seriously , actual transformers that, oh idk, transform are way better. this you'll pay hundreds or thousands of dollars just so it can sit there and be useless.

Well, that's the point of statues:
Be there, look good, and shaddap. ¯\_ツ_/¯

My MP-36 Megatron was NEVER transformed once. I just don't have the courage. First Transformers ever that I do this. Still, Megs look good... as an articulated statue!

They had some original ideas at first, but then they folded and copied the Maketoys design, which is a weird choice. Why buy this statue if Giant Type-61 is already out there? If they had stuck to making an original design for their Devastator, I would've seen the point much more clearly.

Oh well. I bet it will still look cool once it's painted up, though. Not that I'll be buying it.

I usually play around with my figures, even MP figures. If its something that will sit there and collect dust and never be played with, i sell it cause it aint worth owning if i won't fiddle around with it.
