The Nendoroid Transformers are almost here and we have some shots of the first release from the "G1" line, Optimus Prime. Watching all his stances recreated in this super cute fashion thanks to the various accessories and great articulation is fun. These shots come from ShentuToyBox on Weibo. The shot between him and the new live action Optimus Prime Nendroid is particularly interesting since it looks like a filter between cartoon and live action for the same character, which is what we had hoped for all along as fans (in terms of live action designs).

Not a great product and far too expensive for what it is. The head lacks full articulation due to the size, the joints were floppy on mine and the lack of accessories (such as alternative face plates, which most Nenderoids have) didn't help either. The plastic felt thin or "cheap" too, akin to slightly better than Gunpla plastic.
I sent mine back to Amazon Japan and cancelled my order for the Megatron version. At around ¥4-5,000 they were simply overpriced. I've had better quality/value-for-money SD figures from Gundam lines or even official/KO/3P TFs. Nenderoids are also often KO'd, so I might get a (hopefully larger) version of these in the future, at a much more realistic price.

"...New information, shared exclusively with WIRED, provides greater detail into 4chan’s largely unpublicized relationship with a major Japanese toy firm called the Good Smile Company. Legal documents, corporate records, and interviews with those familiar with both companies show that Good Smile played a role in 4chan’s 2015 acquisition..."
