This looks awesome. I didn't like Beast Gorira because of the inaccuracies and general look being not Primal enough, but Primal Prime is a character I have little knowledge of yet a lot of nostalgia for the toy, so this is right up my alley. The fact that it's a radical departure is an asset here rather than a detriment.

 

I think both decos of this mold look awesome. I don't generally like the Beast Wars genre or aesthetic. I'm a Trukk Not Munkee guy all the way. But PE has done an outstanding job that I can't help wanting one of these.

 

Is Gorira larger than Generations Leader size? I can't find any comparison pics besides ones next to MP figures, Rhinox and Rattrap.

 

Taking the extra step to give him a comic-accurate faceplate was a good choice, and he ends up looking awesome because of it. The only thing he really needs now is a removable skull chest piece for some Vok-powered action.

This also likely means we\'ll see Perfect Beast in a Cryotek-themed redeco, though it\'s probably too much to ask for one based on his Beast Machines patchwork look (and to be fair, that\'s a complicated look to recreate)..

I\'d also be willing to bet on a Tigerhawk/Razorclaw figure.

 

I absolutly need that chest.

 

Do want

 

Accurate or not, I'd much prefer coloring along these lines:


EDIT: Painted up the beast mode too since the changes were so quick:

 

Sigh, another gorgeous figure I can't afford....

 

Nice Photoshop render. Did you just paint the head, waist and chest? Looks like toyhax could easily create an add on for it.

 

if PE did it, it would be the closest thing we get to a VOK toy  

 

Yes. By about 2.5 - 3 inches.

 

So you want a G1 deco basically?

 

Up for preorder on BBTS now.

PE-DX06P Gorira Prime

 

Officially over $1000 in pre-orders at BBTS all due before the year ends. I regret nothing so far!

 

Primal Prime, done right. Very nice.
I have to admit that is a sexy redeco job. I wonder if they're going to do Optimal's helper apes?

 

They better! He needs a dope set of swords/hammers

 

Goddamn, that's a serious beefcake!

 

Glad to see he won't be a con exclusive.  

 

Well, MMC didn't make it, so...

 

I never do this much anymore unless it's a limited run, but I went ahead and preordered this guy.


Damn you Maketoys scare.
