Hope the Head sculpt looks that good in person. (and by good I also mean show accurate)

That is the one thing I love about this line: all the figures are totally show accurate. Looking back, it took 20 years to get a cartoon-accurate Prime. These are virtaully identical...and to be honest, I really like it.
I cut down trees, I eat my lunch, I go to the lavatory...

I agree about them being show accurate though, this will be one toy line that i will be collecting. As goofy and some look, they are a pretty cool line of toys.

I love to press wild flow'rs
I put on women's clothing
And hang around in bars!
Looks like a wonderful figure, I can't wait for the upcoming series & toys!

I can understand if it's maybe a year in advance, but these thigns are coming out soon.
Anways, cool fig, sorta. Not my favorite deluxe, but part of that is because I know there is a super amazing cool looking voyager class Prime I want instead! And only 1 prime per collection
Posted by Liege Evilmus on November 25th, 2007 @ 10:37pm CST
Hell, $20 more could have gotten you a Dai Atlas.
Hell it'll be out soon enough for $10, and even that'll be a rip.
And I don't wanna here that "amazing new style beats G1" crap cause whoever has bank like that to roll over a shitty figure like this is not new to collecting.
So to said collector I say, learn patiencne, stop living free in Mom's basement and buy a house.
If this burst your bubble, GOOD!

And what's with mean comments toward fans who can afford paying top dollars for stuff in advance? If they can do it, it's their thing. If I could, I would. Some people buy toys MISB and never open them. Silly, isn't it? They pay top dollars to stare at sealed box. Are they living in their mom's basement as well to be able to waste money like that?

Hey collect as you will, but most items that cost that much are vintage, or rare import and you won't wanna take them out of the box(at least not for long). This is a loose soon to be mass released $10 figure.
That mark up is exorberant for a eliminating a 2 month wait.
Wiether it be by the rich the poor, the mombound or otherwise, that's a $150(plus shipping) pissed away!

Or you could just wait it out a bit and have it both ways with a $140 savings
I have alot of figures most are loose, some are boxes. However most of my boxed are dups, and the others rare and/or vintage so that argument don't fly with me.
Hell when your collections are up in the thousands, you start choosing between playable and prosperity so don't give me that!
Here are some pics to prove I'm not talking out my ass, look fo the rare and exclusive figs that by all rights should be kept boxed...

Not bashing the cartoon or anything... he just doesn't look like Prime.

Mind you, it might have the same sort of appeal to it that movie Bonecrusher had. I always thought he was fugly, but onc ei bought him i found him to be one of the best looking and most detailed movie deluxes.
I doubt the same thing will happen with this toy though since it is supposed to be optimus prime and it simply looks NOTHING like any kind of Prime we are used to. I mean WTF is that alt mode all about? Come on!

I’m not big into animated myself, but that’s how he will look in the show, so its more just animated rather than the toy and that is his pre-earth mode, the voyager will be a fire truck.

Besides, from an animation point of view, keeping the mouth shield can probably cut some costs on lip-sync.
