Wonderfest 2015 - Kubrick Bearbrick Transformers AoE Optimus Prime

Posted by Va'al Feb 8, 2015 at 11:46am CST 28,850 views
The final piece of news from Wonderfest 2015 comes in the shape of the Kubrick Bearbrick Age of Extinction Optimus Prime redeco, which we had only seen printed images of - but is still fairly peculiar, as its alt-mode is a cuddly (one might say) bear. Check out the mirrored photos from the event, courtesy, of course, of the Autobase Aichi Facebook page!

This is worse than the bobble head prime. Call it culture shock if you want, but I seriously dont get whats running through their minds when they design this kinda stuff.

money would be my guess. It seems to me that these kitschy things sell well enough to justify them. Don't ask me why though.

Wonderfest gave us a look at the Bearbrick Age of Extinction Optimus Prime redeco , in robot mode, and now Japanese retailer CJ Mart bring us our first official images of the figure in both modes.

This toy from Takara Tomy and Medicom, uses the same mold as the first Be@rbrick Optimus Prime, but in a deco reminiscent of the live action movies, in particular Age of Extinction. It will be released this month.

Why does this thing even exist ? Is this the result of when Japanese toy designers drink too much sake ?

Different market, different taste, if they can sell it then why not?

I have all other 4. Just think they're nice bridging my TF collection with be@rbrick one. I guess those exists for people like me.

I will post this in other places too just so that people see it, but it turns out figures like these are super popular in Asia and Japan, as can be seen with them being among the top preorders on Japan exclusive sites:

That is the most stupid looking figure ever. Yeah I know, in Japan they like cute cuddly robots. But knowing that wont stop us from wondering why they like them...

These would be some much more enticing if they weren't absurdly expensive.

They could make little toilets that transform into prime, megs, bee, etc. and people will buy them.

These look really Mickey Mouse like. I'd hate to think what we'd be getting if Disney owned Transformers

It has been ages since we last heard about Medicom's Bearbrick Transformers figures - licensed transforming figures that change from bears to our favourite Cybertronians - now, two years later, we have images, pre-orders and estimated arrival dates (2nd quarter of 2017) for the three new characters: Age of Extinction (inorite) Optimus Prime, Nemesis Prime, and Starscream. Check them out below!
