Not too long ago we brought you design drawings of Movie Optimus Prime and Bumblebee Poseable Model Kits by TakaraTomy, and today we bring you new promotional images of the completed models courtesy of the CYBERGUNDAM BLOG! Both models feature a fully poseable internal frame and parts which are on sprues. Both models are 1/35 scale, and will come with stickers. Both are scheduled for release on June 25th. Pricing info:
Check out both upcoming Transformers Dual Model Kits after the jump!

These are nice.
I can't decide if I'll pick the up or not though. If BB was a bit bigger it would help (I really want a HA sized BB that's actually nice).
I'm not sure these are enough nicer than my best BB and Prime to be logical purchases. I'm more likely to get BB than Prime, my Prime already feels near perfect.
The funny thing is if they do a Megatron, then they'll suddenly all become must gets.

wow i'm loving these designs so much.. esp prime's. i'm not sure if they're exactly accurate to the movie but the proportions look perfect to me. no oversized body parts or weird looking designs. the japanese sure know how to make beautiful models.
now i just need to decide if i should spend that much on it..
Superquad7
Yep. As long as their cheap and have articulated hands, I'd be buying some. Customs fodder FTW!

I hope we get some real model kits. I've been waiting for years for some. They have a diy my little pony and mighty muggs, now they need models for tf.

I would really like to see Hasbro doing some model kit types of things stateside.
GAUGE
preordered mine awhile back. these look great and very accurate. let's hope the final products don't disappoint.

Detail is amazing. I'd love to see actual photos, but I will probably get Prime regardless.
It's not, it's just the Optimus Model with the armour off. Looks nothing like the protoform.

If that drawing of Optimus is movie-accurate then I can identify changes such as:
The torso, the forarm (side panels), the upper arms (amount of red/blue covering them, metal past the wheel.
Evil’Con
Optimus looks good, with movie accurate protoform.
Bumblebee not so good.

RotF leader Optimus Prime is 25cm to the top of his helmet antennae…
The original deluxe mold of movie BB is 14cm to the top of his head…
These will have to drop in price before I get them…
Shmoptimus Prime
I will definitely be getting the Prime one (although it is quite expensive) if the details and proportions are as good as a normal gundam model. I hope the chest is a bit wider than in the concept drawings that were just posted. The Bee one will have to wait for pics/reviews since it's much smaller.
I really hope that these sell well so that we can get a Megatron and a Starscream. Although given the fact that they did Bee to complement Optimus, we might get a Barricade or a con of similar size to complement Bee (maybe one of the Dreads or Sideways?).
Ra88
Love the detailing, but is it me or do the proportions seem a bit off?
Fort Max
Detail on the Prime model is fantastic, equal to Bandai's perfect grade skeleton's, that explains the high cost.
Actual heights revealed now as well:
Height: Optimus Prime about 24cm / Bumblebee about 14cm
Price: Optimus Prime-8800yen / Bumblebee-3800yen
Release date: late June 2011

No photos unfortunately, but here's a good look at the skeletal detailing.

That's about the size of the leader and deluxes, respectively. I'd really like to get these, but not for the current price. For this price I'd need them to be human alliance scale…

I want better pictures.
These would need to be the definitive Prime and BB bots for me. In the case of Prime- buster is already near perfect. In the case of BB there's still room.

The kits are 1/35 scale
My movie universe book says that prime is 28 feet tall and bee is 16.2 feet
Math wise, here will be the size of the completed models:
Prime will be roughly 9.6 inches tall.
Bee will be around 5.5 inches tall.
