Imaginarium Art Rodimus Prime up for Pre-Order

Posted by Qwan Nov 27, 2017 at 9:56pm CST 18,526 views
Via the Facebook page of Imaginarium Art, famed for their impressively-detailed Transformers statues, we have word that their licensed Rodimus Prime statue is finally up for pre-order! First revealed on the very last day of 2015, with prototype images popping up in June this year and the statue itself making an appearance at Shanghai Comic Con in October, listings for the figure are finally up (along with quite a few images of the item from all angles).

The statue features two different heads (to change expressions), two sets of arms (one set for the Matrix of Leadership and one for holding his rifle), and a Matrix and rifle to be held by those respective arms. According to Imaginarium's post it can currently be pre-ordered from site sponsor BigBadToyStore for just under a hefty $1200 (or from these three sites if you live in Malaysia, Singapore or the Philippines respectively), and is expected to be released in the first quarter of 2018.

Check below for a few select images of the product, and Imaginarium's accompanying post. Will you be going all-in on this red leader, or standing by for now? Let us know in the Energon Pub!

Not a bad price. Does anyone know when the pre-orders for the marble pedestals go up as well? Also what kinds of special lighting is recommended to best display the statue? Does anyone think I should go with the waterfall walls behind Rodimus to enhance the serenity of the display?

That statue actually looks really cool, and compared to some of the other statues around, that is not a bad price either

Imaginarium Art has added more characters to be statues to their growing pool of Transformers statue involving Coronation Starscream with throne, Ultra Magnus pose statue, Soundwave pose statue with his minions: Rumble (or Frenzy for those on the other side of the coin), Laserbeak, and Ravage, and lastly the most recent Rodimus Prime/Hot Rod statue holding the Matrix of Leadership up as he ascends to being the next Prime after Optimus. While the other statues have been sold out, but the Rodimus Prime statue is still up for preorder at the moment. Be expected to shell out though! The pluses with these statues, aside from being super highly detailed are that they can and do feature LEDs and other fancy lighting features. Hot Rod seems to be packed with those features along with impressive detail too.

This time Imaginarium Art are increasing that number of Transformers statues with Autobot Jazz and Decepticon Skywarp. With these two added to our growing roster, we can hope for an even more characters to be made for their Transformers line. Here are the images below shared on Imaginarium Art’s Facebook page with Jazz and Skywarp respectively.

I do love these, but I can't afford to sell a kidney to purchase any of them.

Specs bit does list that as Frenzy (cos Frenzy is blue!) but yes of course it can be which ever one the buyer wants it to be. :P

They are not all sold out. BBTS has all the statues still available except Soundwave. Also, I believe that seeker will be Skywarp. Check Youtube videos on IA. The statue was meant for Starscream but they went another route and made the throne version. At an Asian convention, they had this one painted as Skywarp.

We have a new teaser from Imaginarium Art and their official Facebook page, featuring another Decepticon to join the ranks of their extremely detailed and dynamic, officially licensed Transformers statues -and it's none other than the faction leader himself, Megatron!

Only teased with a grey prototype render, you can check out the smirk and fusion cannon below, as they were released on the page with the trademark motto 'Peace Through Tyranny'. Additionally, you can browse their galleries on the page (right here) to see what the status is with their Optimus Prime figure (as we already covered here), and the development process that went into the production of the Autobot leader.

Will have to get the marble pedastool to go with it and perhaps surround it with a koi pond. Or would it look better on the yacht mounted to the wine bar with special lighting? Decisions, decisions, decisions...

Imaginarium Art has been producing a number of impressive concept images of upcoming statues they are developing, and that number is expected to grow with the next unique (and probably really sought after choice) that is next! If it's one thing we know is that there are not many options available of owning much related to the Quintessons aside from a few offerings here and there, those loveable Sharkticons like Gnaw, and some stuff coming from the Third Party sector. ImaginariumArt on Facebook has dropped a teaser for something I think we can all appreciate due to the rarity of Quintesson related collectibles when it comes to the wide multiverse of Transformers.

Imaginarium Art is really using that Transformers license to its maximum. They just teased the Quintessons and are now teasing Ironhide. They mase a post on their Facebook page using an image of IDW Ironhide and wrote "You have a rodent infestation! He is in the schedule. Anyone here disagree?". This is just a teaser of course and the final Ironhide model they will have will probably take a lot of cues from his G1 look, judging from their past designs.

They have posted a slew of other images on their Facebook page as well. They have multiple images of their assemply line for the Rodimus Prime statue (a finished sample can be seen here), images showing their 3d printing development for Devastator parts, and images of a yet to be assembled Nemesis Prime.

Enjoy all these images below!

It's been a few weeks since we last reported on producer of licensed Transformers statues, Imaginarium Art, and in the intervening time they certainly haven't slowed down at all! Since our previous report on January 10th we've seen quite a few reveals, teases and sample images via Imaginarium's Facebook page. The main focus is on their upcoming Nemesis Prime statue with multiple promotional images materializing on various dates, but there are plenty of other characters and statues coming down the pipeline that bear reporting too.

First up are a few renders of the work-in-progress Ironhide statue. A head-and-shoulders shot released on January 11th, followed by angled shots of the full (not yet posed) statue on the 23rd, show Ironhide to be as heavily detailed as Imaginarium's other works, though the renders are still currently in grayscale. It also appears the red veteran will be wielding a few heavy armaments to boot.

On the 16th, 18th, 22nd and 29th, in-person size comparison images were released featuring their upcoming Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus, Rodimus Prime and Nemesis Prime statues next to actual humans to demonstrate their size (yes, they're big).

A new work-in-progress render of their Jazz statue, previously revealed back in November 2017, rocked up on January the 26th. It looks to have been slightly simplified since its initial renders, boasting perhaps a little less mechanical detailing than what we'd seen before (Imaginarium is no stranger to tweaking their designs as they work on them after all).

A new, smaller Optimus Prime statue was shown off on the 30th, which also seemed to indicate the debut of a new sub-line of sorts: The Legacy of Cybertron. Featuring an entirely different pose from their larger Optimus Prime statue and even from the heavily-featured Nemesis Prime, it would appear that Imaginarium certainly aren't lazy even when working on multiple statues of the same character.

Finally, it seems the previously-teased Quintesson statue is also progressing, with further teases featuring art of the iconic "Judgement" and "War" faces released over the past forty-eight hours or so. Presumably the trend will continue over the next few days as well, with images of the remaining three "Wrath", "Wisdom" and "Death" faces still to come.

While you digest all of that information, take a look at all of the images in question below, or over on Imaginarium's Facebook page. Once you've done that, why not share and discuss any thoughts you have, over in the Energon Pub Forums - we'd love to hear them. And of course, keep an eye out for any more Transformers news coming your way on Seibertron.com - same (or different) 'bot time, same 'bot channel!
