    Here's a bit of news for you guys waiting to see some great up close & detailed footage on the 15 inch Comicave Studios, Age Of Extinction, OPTIMUS PRIME, 1/22 scale die cast figure. He is 75% die cast and from the video, sounds like he will be somewhere in the $350 price range. He has 50 points of articulation! And he looks magnificent with.his pipes behind his head all chromed out. This is something that I can see a lot of movie fans wanting to get their hands on.

    Go to the 4:28 mark if you wanna skip ahead past ironman figures and go strait to the murderous leader himself ;)  Enjoy!

    Nice. But between the price tag and the size I'm pretty sure I'm not interested.

    We'll see.

    Who the hell is this Budget Stark guy, he has the most random videos, but looking at the Optimus was nice. I saw the Bumblebee and he was awesome (There are some Bumblebee pics online) not in this video.

    TOTALLY interested!
    I've been waiting to see/hear more about this. The work they're doing is pretty damned impressive. And die cast is pretty badass.
    I'll support their efforts.

    Yes he collects 1/6th 1/4 and 1/9th scale hi end Ironman figures. And he frequently films the Hong.Kong shops responsible for making all the coolest 1/6th (mainly, but kids logic does transformers ect.) figures from Hot Toys, King Arts, Comicav, Kids Logic, things like that.

    I was happy with the DMK, but this thing puts it to shame.

    Yea I totally agree man this is not flimsy material either, and if that holds true like what I've heard, then that's all the more appeal in buying IMO.

    I know right?! I wish someone could take a few screen shots of it to put up. That would be dope. Get a better look at it longer then 5 to 10 seconds.

    I still think its a high price @ $350(around) and could be even higher once it comes to the U.S. & that could turn a lot of people off. I'm hoping 290-330 range and hopefully less imported. But cheaper price imported, doesn't.always seem to be the case with hi end collectors company's like that. A company.like Takara, yes.
