Third party group Dr. Wu is teasing a new sword accessory for Transformers: Prime Optimus Prime. The sword resembles one of the thirteen Primes’ Prima’s Star Saber, with the Matrix of Leadership embedded in its hilt.
Announced on their Weibo blog page, the sword is planned to be 12cm long, constructed from metal, and will potentially be chromed. We’ve also heard rumors that there will be versions for Nemesis Prime and Shattered Glass Optimus Prime.
While the sword appears to have been designed in the Transformers: Prime style, the 5mm grip will enable a large portion of your collection to wield it.
Staff Note: This kit is an unofficial product not produced or endorsed by Hasbro or Takara/Tomy.

Just received my P-35 from a Chinese seller on eBay, USD9.99 (inc shipping to my country). Delivery was about 15 days. Sword was in a clear plastic bag sandwiched in between two hugely oversized styrofoam pieces which were then generously coated with brown tape.
There is no die-cast, it's all plastic. The blue on the matrix seems flat and unexciting, not a multi-faceted gem in the glamour shots. The blade itself is nicely done with its clear blue. The entire sword is very light but seems rigid enough that you feel it might snap 'cleanly' if you flex it too hard.
Have no trouble fitting into the hands of my figures except for the deluxe class 2015 LG-EX Black Convoy, the hilt is too wide to slip into his hand and the 'bell' flare at the bottom prevented the sword from being slid in. My other deluxe class figures (WFC and FOC Optimus Prime, TAV-13 and TAV-56 Nemesis Prime) have no problem with it.
Pictured herewith the sword with Takara Tomy TAV-13 (Deluxe), KBB MP-10v-Black (Voyager), MakeToys Striker Noir, Neoarts Xerxes, Hasbro WFC Optimus (Deluxe), MakeToys Thunder Erebus and Takara Tomy LGEX 2017 Black Convoy (Voyager).

So, I have the P35 version of this, but it seems like the hilt is too thick to fit the 5mm fists of many of my figures. Anyone else having this issue?
Rakzo
Yep, this one just arrived.

I do dig the new version of Dr. Wu Prime Sword. The clear blue plastic looks wonderful on it and the silver paint is beautiful. I don't miss the die cast from the previous releases at all to be honest since the simple plastic does a more efficient job and the weight of the last few versions worked against them at times. I particularly like how it looks in Generations Springer, is a nice fit for him.
By the way, this happened to one of my old die cast swords:

Rob
Plastic or metal?
That will make or break it for me, I want it to be plastic.

While my favorite version of this design is the one from MMC with their Nova Prime, this looks excellent and I don't need to buy a triple digit figure I don't care for to get the sword.
Nemesis251
That's how it should have been made the first run.
Fenrys
mildly interested

Looks like Dr. Wu is making another run of this sword. Now it has a blue blade.

Black version anyone?
Movie PRIME
Ok I just ordered mine!
On a side note I think it would be really cool if they made MP sized versions of these. Could you imagine MP 10 with one in his hands!

steelcore looks better with blue…. I think I will get one for protector though lol
Rewind
Actually it'll probably look too small in Goldran's hand so I'll probably let Steel Core hang out with it.

I'm giving it to Protector!

I'm thinking Goldran.

Just to add, there are only 200 pcs that have been produced… I don't know if they'll add to that.
