    I don't know- but based off the picture of the two of them together and stated Prime height of 15", I'm assuming BB will be around 9-10".

    Just guess work though.

    Actually $125 is better than i was expecting.

    But we'll see. The scale is a big negative for me, especially since Prime is only slightly better than my DMK (who scales with a few other figures). If Galvatron were to be revealed, that would help his case a bit.

    Presently if I get these at all, I'd probably only get bee because a screen accurate version of that pretty much doesn't exist. This is the only one I know of.

    But we'll see.

    Thanks for the guess work. I tried to figure out what 1/22 scale was but just couldn't. Its such an odd scale to choose. I'll definitively be getting Bumblebee.

    Seems that their scaling is pretty spot-on, based on size charts from the film.
    Their Prime statue being 15 inches is in keeping with his "actual size" of 28 feet and Bumblebee being 16 feet means he'll be around 8.7 inches.
    He looks to scale properly in the pics. Looking pretty good!
    And it seems that if they're doing these two, they could do others, so...here's hoping. Can't wait to see more of this.
    P.S. Given the fact that this company obviously doesn't shy away from doing ginormous stuff (have you seen that Hulkbuster??),
    could you imagine a proper AOE Grimlock? lol
    He's supposed to be 84 feet (His robot mode, of course), so his "toy" would be about 3.8 feet tall.

    Its not a statue like I mentioned before articulated figures. And good spot on the scale but also they changed the size of grim lock mid production of the aoe movie so grim lock didn't look as big as the first trailer ;)

    Actually bbts has the comicave shotgun ironman armor at around 7 inches for $154 so 125 actually may be close to the price when hot off the press. 8.7 is a bit bigger if he's right about scale but its closer to size then a 15 inch figure which will most likely be 260 or so starting for Prime.

    It looks nice but I hope they refine and put a lot more details in primes chest armir

    Yeah, I know it's articulated. I "misspoke". lol
    And yeah, I thought Grimlock seemed a bit smaller in the actual film.
    84 feet tall (as the size chart says) is crazy.
    In any event, I'm really looking forward to what they're doing. These look to be top-notch quality and I imagine they'll get even better
    since they said they're still working on them. Plus, they're actually metal, which is nifty.
    Btw, I noticed in the FB comments that the guy said Bee is 11 inches-ish. So, I dunno.
    Maybe the guy was just "guess-timating", but that would obviously make him a bit larger than he would actually be in 1/22 scale.
    He looks pretty good in comparison to Prime, though. All we know is that they are describing both as being in 1/22 scale.
    Hopefully, they stick to that.
    P.S. I saw your earlier post where you said Comicave personally inspects and has the individual sign for quality control, and be held responsible.
    That's AWESOME that they go to those lengths.

    Not too worried about Prime at this point. I've got Prime coming out my ears and I'm less fond of this design than the previous. I'll only pick him up if it becomes clear they're making other interesting characters who would be good with Prime.

    BB I'm more likely to grab. None of the toys really match this well at all.
