Seibertron member physucks has brought to our attention a very very interesting listing that has surface on bigbadtoystore.com. This listing will be of particular interest to any very wealthy Transformers fan with at least one very large room.

Listed is a preorder for a giant 2 meter-tall (or approximately 6.5 feet) statue of the one and only heroic Autobot leader, Optimus Prime by the company 86 Hero! The price for this rather unique item is nearly 4 000.00 $US!

You have to see it to believe it, and you can do just that by clicking here.

More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

I'd love one but I have no idea where I would put it or how I would pay for it :(

I can get a life size preator that you can even wear the weapons and mask for way cheaper. Dont get me wrong this is cool but the price is way to high. Im sure you could get someone to make one for cheaper. I have the feeling that not many of these will be sold. My truck isnt even worth that much. Id rather spend the money on a car or a shit load of TFs than that thing.

It doesn't even look that good due to the ugly wash...

My Optimus Prime halloween costume is assembled as a statue in basement, and frankly, that's good enough for me!

You would think at that size (and price) that the detail and paint app would be better.... looks shite to me.

It looks almost EXACTLY like someone stood up 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime, posed him stiffly, took a snapshot, then mucked it up in Photoshop. I'm 98% sure that the photo on the listing is a mockup, and nothing more.

I'd agree. I just thought it was funny. There's no way I'd buy it. Not that my wife would let me if I wanted to.

I'd love that, but my parents would NEVER in 4,000,000 years put out the $$$$$$$$$$$$ for something like that. I should have saved my money from the time I started buying toys.......stupid stupid stupid!!!!

4k for a 6'6", 245 lb statue? Pass please! This statue totally rules, and I think it's worth about that much (just because it's a 6'6" statue of Optimus Prime), it's just that there's no way in heck I'd ever be able to afford it. Nor would anyone else in my immediate family.
