    It's done better than Hasboro's power of the primes version.

    Not fully accurate. the knees are off. Still, the closest we've seen so far.

    Jiang Xing. The knees are off. It's a minor thing, just saying it's not 100% accurate.

    Ooh. This post was in response to if we needed an updated optimal optimus. The PE one is good but doesn't fit with mp32 and mp34 and the whole beast wars mp line in terms of size and aestetic.

    While both offerings are nice, there is only thing i will factor in as to which one I buy. Whichever one includes the judges wig will win for me.

    Nice. Also, I'm pretty sure the TFW news article about the TFCon reveals mislabeled the company that Optimus came from.
    Wow, it looks like even his toes at articulated! Nice!!!

    The only thing that worries me a bit is the dragon neck... I hope the joints are strong and durable enough to keep up some poses after a long time of use.

    No problem :) 
    I’m not to sure it says the shipping isn’t known yet. I can’t imagine it being that much. If he’s roughly $150 without shipping then it’ll be less for us, £114 and €130 then shipping (to be determined) and import fees (if you get charged) could be 15-25

    I’ve just registered an account and asked them, as TM2 Megatron is one of my favourite figures...I’ve got the PE version on pre-order, and this would go nicely with it in my Beast Wars Megatron display!

    So let’s hope shipping is reasonable, fingers crossed!

    Actually, he was right the first time. It is El Cid.

    Damn it, this actually looks really good. I'm starting to waffle on my decision to go with PE's version...

    Free shipping worldwide apparently, which just seems too good to be true?
