This is the previously revealed piece from Popbox Collectables, not from TakaraTomy.

Wow... is it just me or is his head HUGE? I bet you could add a spring to the neck and turn it into a bobble head.

F**kin TRASH! like Movie Prime had a DISNEY FINISH added to him. Fa!L
Oh SH!T I just thought of something. What If the reason theres a transforming buzz lightyear is cause disney and hasbro or takara have a small contract worked out to show a few ROTF toys in the new TOYSTORY 3?

LOL!!!! This looks like crap! $400.00!!!! For this! LOLLLLL!! His head coundn't be bigger. Everything is off on this, thing, even his windows are smaller...sigh. And he just stands there, can't pose or anything? Man, I can't believe some people are going to buy this...well one guy for sure I know will buy this. And put it up on youtube and say, "it's just awesome." Like everything he buys.

Nope, that's just you; the heads on the transforming figures are all smaller than they should be, because they transform (they have to fit in somewhere)! You're just used to the smaller heads! (Pin-heads as my Nan calls them and she's right; now I look at them and think 'wow, Sideswipe/Bumblebee/Megatron etc *does* have a small head!')
Yeah, maybe this head may be ever-so-slightly bigger than it needs to be, but it's a better size than the transforming figures.

Actually the size of the head is way to big even for a statue. I have over 20 pics of optimus prime ranging from the very 1st original concept art to real pics taken from the movies. And the ROTF leader OP's head is actually a lot more movie acurate than the statue. In looks and in size. And the statue lacks a lot of the final detailing. The statue is actually a cross between 3 different concept versions of Optimus Prime. With only about 3 things accurate to the final version.
Personally I think the statue looks awful and it's absolutely insane to charge $400.00 for it. Even half that is way to much. The leader class OP from ROTF is much more movie accurate and I bought 2 of them for about $35.00 each. Did some custom re-painting and now they look awesome!

Taken alone, the head looks fine. But it's like the body is only 7/8ths scale to the head. Yuck.

Wait wait wait this can't be the same mattek (sp?) that was announced a while ago? I mean they stated it was going to be based of the actual 3D model from the movie just modified to make it work as a statue. While this has the same pose it has nothing the prototype renders had, this looks like a poor copy of what they showed us and the head looks like he's wearing a comically huge replica of his real head.

Hopefully, Dead Metal is right and this is just a copy. If not, then this is a silly, useless pile.
