    I believe it is Voyager size. Also, has anyone seen a thread on here for the Primal Prime repaint? I haven't.

    Edit: Nevermind, I found it.

    Apparently this company's products are more difficult to get. You'd probably have more luck on a Japanese retailer site or seeing if EBay retailers get it.

    Is this figure worth it? There aren't many reviews on it.

    I've heard it has some worrying quality, but I don't think I ever heard a report of it breaking. It is retooled to have the chest gun gimmick he had in the show, and is sized to fit in next to a Masterpiece figure. And there's a kit you can buy (assuming it's still being carried) that gives him fully pose-able fingers.

    Primal Prime does, Optimal Optimus doesn't. It's the regular hands.

    Ah, thought it was a new mold. So, it’s a ko of the original mold?

    It's an under-sized KO (INCONCEIVABLE!! :lol ) with the backpack redesigned internally to create the chest-gun gimmick from the show. Some of the pics show the size of it next to MP-10 on the front page.
    Probably some Chinese E-tailer, I'd imagine. Maybe EBay has a few floating around?
