TRU Japan is getting more Takara Movie Advanced Optimus Prime Rusty Version

Ugh, way too expensive... plus foreign shipping rate...

Amazon Japan has updated its listing for Takara Tomy AD-31 Armor Knight Optimus Prime with some high res official images of the figure. The figure is heavily retooled from the Age of Extinction Leader Class Optimus Prime featuring new weapons, chest, forearms and feet. The image also shows off the new head with either a removable or retractable mouth plate.

This is the AOE Optimus I have been waiting for.

wait this is remolded? not just a repaint?

I don't know what you guys are complaining about; Rusty Optimus Prime is awesome. I have him and he looks cool on display.

I was thinking about just skipping the leader Optimus figure, but I might want to save money for this guy!

Indeed it says in japanese:
Mask off - Mask on
マスカオフ - マスカオン

THIS IS SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The shield still makes no sense. Everything else? Awesome.

If only I wasnt suckered at buying the regular AoE leader OP at 60$+tx at my local TrU, I would consider buying this new one. However, the regular still feel plenty "premium" for me and I wont be spendiong 100$+ on a new leader.

Seriously....we needed this 6 mths ago.
