Transformers MPM-4 Optimus Prime on Display in Taiwan

Here's my full review of MPM Optimus Prime! (^.^) Hope you guys enjoy it! I tried to be as thorough as possible, leaving no stone unturned, taking everything into consideration while being as fair as possible.

Awesome review Actar! Very thorough. Consider yourself followed

I think these two new MPM's are like playing the lottery. They have QC issues, but they're just shy of being widespread? So you have almost a 50% chance of getting a good one. And I might be crazy, but I think it's worth the gamble.

It's a very pricey gamble. While not enough Primes are in circulation, the bee is looking more to the downside. Sounds like prime will follow suit.

I wonder why? Did they rush these too fast? They look amazing, but the build isn't holding up.

After the Transformers Movie Masterpiece MPM-3 Bumblebee, fellow Seibertronian Actar has dropped by with another review for the same line: MPM-4 Optimus Prime! You can check out the video embedded below, and a very good video it is indeed, featuring accessories, storage, both robot and vehicle mode, and comparisons to other related figures.

Thank you for review disregard bad things about this figure still glad got him preordered and bumblebee waiting both to be released to be waiting in mail maybe if this series does well they will fix problems do little better with prime version 2 if they plan on another prime from dark of the moon version.

But my main problem is with bumblebee more than with prime bumblebee have bigger backpack compared to prime maybe it's angle or he may look better in person who knows but if third party company does make some parts for these figures I can see some replacement parts being made for prime with yellow on hood of truck who knows with bumblebee, glad you showed master piece trailer with this prime was wandering about that option, articulation doesn't bother me with figures I always skipped those parts in reviews

Where'd you preorder him from? Cause, uh, I'd jump on that.

Quick Canada! Jump on this if you want it! Their MPM-3 sold out in seconds

And y'all 'Mericans, he's up on the dot.com site too

Not everyone has access to a TRU. Also, history has shown that these figures can sell out very quickly.

Pretty much what Densh said.

In the past, some TRU MP's have been fantastically difficult to find in store. Also the prices for the listings I mentioned are for mere dollars more than what they'd cost anyways. For me, I'm not gambling.

Also, and I'm sure I'm the only one interested in this, but I collect all MP's - box variants included. The TRU MPM's have that standard silver "TRU Exclusive" slapped on them, whereas others (I assume the online acquired ones) do not. And I'd like one of each.

Thank you so much for the insight guys!

I don't see any MPM-4's on eBay for that price. Link?

I'd be awfully wary of a listing like that. A brand new, in demand item, for less than retail?

He wrote mom 03 which is bumblebee. That price is more than both Optimus and bee's retail of 100 and 80 respectively

My apologies, i meant $125CANADIAN, which is $97USD including shipping costs for bumblebee on ebay, is it a good price to jump on?

Its ok but not great. its slightly lower than retail. Up to you really. You pretty much save the tax from buying it in store. If that sounds like a deal to you, then jump on it. I am waiting for him to be further discounted. Also, this thread is about optimus. If you want to talk more of Bee, go here: transformers-movie-masterpiece-mpm-3-bumblebee-thread-t108751.php
