3A DOTM Optimus Prime Exclusive Figure Revealed

Keep in mind that the figure itself isn't a Bambaland exclusive, just the Battle Blaster (that's what the English page is calling it). There will also be a general retail version sold without it (you only get swords and the exclusives tend to sell out to the 3A collectors fast).

IDK.. I mean, yea the figure is gorgeous. But that price point of 430.00 USD is extremely expensive. I think the DOTM Megatron has to be my 2nd Fav, with the rebuilt TF2 movie version being number 1, and the 1st movie Cybertronian Jet is my third fav.. But does anyone see these figures a bit bulkier then they should be?? I mean, Prime looked a bit skinny, so did Bumblebee, and Megatron from my recollection of the movie.. But at a 400 dollar price point, it sure makes It hard to collect the whole movie line up.. and makes larger scaled figures seem a bit more unlikely.. If 3A releases a 12 inch line up with Megatron and Optimus, with 7-8 inch bumblebee, and so on... at a 250.00 price point like Hottoys figures, I'd be in for the entire round up.. but at 450.00 for just one figure.. phew..

that's going to leave a lot of Megatron's and Bumblebee's on the shelf.. I can see why they released Bumblebee and Megs first..

As it stands now.. I am still debating on whether to grab Optimus, or just wait to see if 3A does a scaled down offering at a more marketable price point for the Average hard working fan.. as apposed to the upper class richy rich fans who can afford 400+ a pop for a Transformer figure.. level of detail, and lighting up.. if 450.00 costs that, then 3A should send their people to Hot Toys for a lesson in how to do it and make it cost 200.00 less..

who needs a 19 inch figure anyways? I would prefer a 12 inch line.. or 1/6 scale for humans.. it would be around 1/4 scale for Optimus, or maybe like Gundam.. Master grade is 1/100, perfect grade is 1/800 scale.. even then, that is only about 15-16 inches tall at the most for those kits.. I have been wanting high quality action figures of the TRANSFORMERS movie characters for a long time now. But I never imagined them being that scale.. too much.. too expensive.. come out with a high quality lineup from the 1st movie.. 12 inch, and 70 points of articulation. with excellent paint apps, and loads of accessories.. then you can justify the 250.00 I am willing to commit on the entire Autobot crew from the movie trilogy, and Decepticon crew as well. Also the Hottoys light up with LED lights too, so it's not impossible to get that level detail, articulation, and light effects into a 12 inch figure at a 250.00 Price point.. I mean, at 450.00 that thing should have voice sounds from the Movie, respond to commands and crap 1 inch sized 18K golden bars!!

Anyways your lists would be great if they ever become a reality. Win the lottery and pay crazy money to get them to manufacture those just for you (and me).

Whooops! I didn't realize I placed ole' Megs in the Autobot list.. LOL..

anyhow, as far as them producing stuff for me.. it's odd, but if you were to have a complete list of my wishes and wants from being here on seibertron.com, like the action figure and super detailed figures non-transformable of the Transformers.. I have mentioned that like a year ago.. it seems like everytime I mention an idea, it gets made.. karma.. not saying I am a Transformer production godlike being bringing my ideas into reality through mental control (although I may, you can never be sure! Muahhahahaa!) anyways, I figure at some point the people over at 3A will realize that a smaller production scale, with a higher run would be more productive and garner more fan purchases then the lucrative 1% rich market who can afford 450.00 per figure..

I can wait.. seems like my ideas always come out about a year or so later.. LOL

Seriously, it's eerie how much I have shouted I want this, and they should make that, and then al of a sudden, there it is!! LOL..

I so want this

almost looks as good as the leader class toy

Okay, so what now.. do I have to take out a loan with the Mafia to get these? Mortgage my house? $400+ each? why can't they reduce the scale, and make them in the arena of Hottoys in the $200.00 range? I mean, I could afford that and have space on my shelf for the 4 big guys, and maybe a few others.. but 19 Inches? 450.00?? seriously.. I would hate to see how much they fetch for on the secondary market.. ebay, amazon etc.. 1,000.00 or more I am sure.. and with the crappy economy we have had for the last 9 years.. I've got to eat first..

Stupid production run.. should be 1/6 or 12 inches at the most.. 65 points of articulation vs 85, and still can light up via LEDs like Ironman from Hottoys which is only around 199.00 to 250.00 depending on where you go.. I have to as much as I would love to get them.. pass..

Until they make a more affordable version, and still of high quality..

I have to bow out for now..

Plus if they do release a smaller more manageable scale and price point, I can then get two Star Screams.. one to keep original, and one to paint the grey in black, and the tattoos in purple!

That's my Christmas wish for 2016! Rant over..

Just what the market's been clamoring for! They're sure to sell one, two, maybe even three of these!

Leader Starscream is an amazing figure, though I think I prefer the RotF Voyager a tiny bit more. The way it's wings split and fold in on itself to imitate the jetpack thrusters is one of my all-time favorite transformation details. He also looks really cool with Thrust, Dirge, Dreadwing, and Terradive.

Although none of these Screamers ever properly color his cheek-gill things...

Honestly, with the MP line, I don't see the point of non-transforming G1 figures. For the movieverse, it was understandable because making these designs 100% detailed and accurate, they couldnt transform. But for classics? Pointless.
