Seems like I'm one of the few who actually like Pat Lee's artwork. I stopped collecting the comics once they stop producing.

 

Holy Crap!

How did I not know until now that Revoltech Optimus Prime/Convoy's design was based on Pat Lee's Dreamwave.

 

To those complaining about Pat Lee Prime, he was always going to be that version because the Revoltech Transformers like him and Megatron were originally going to be blind boxed trading figures like their Spiderman Unlimited trading figures with weird articulation that forced them into specific poses:

These were going to come out during the time of Energon, that's why one of the other figures they had planned was a decent looking Energon Optimus.

Those logos are the same as the originals product images. The logos are different on the actual product. These images are just the old images reused. The toy should be the same as it's original release.

If there's any change they should really do its retool his shoulders so they are no longer cut joints and can actually use revoltech joints instead.

 

Are you trolling?

 

It's already been posted in the BBTS thread, but here's the pre-order page with rundown of accessories. Legacy of Revoltech LR-008 Convoy Optimus Prime - Transformers Revoltech Revoltech

Unless a Nemesis Prime is in the works I don't think I'm going to bother.

 

Holy shit $50? I think I paid like $20 for mine way back when. It would have been cool if they did more g1 characters.

 

You know what'd be sweet?

A Figuarts Optimus. Or SRC I guess.

 

Isn't there a Gohkin in the works?

That looks great.

 

You guys should really stop going to BBTS for imports. It's 3,900 Yen at retail but HLJ has it for 3,315 so going that route it'll be a hair above $40 and well below BBTS' infamous import mark-up.

Man, I can't believe this release cost so much. I wonder if new licensing fees upped the price or is it just simply the rising costs of production.

 

I will sadly pass on this re-release. Figma's offerings bar Girly figures, i.e IronMan etc, are so much better than Revoltechs nowadays IMO.

 

Yes! The last one i need

 

That's really expensive for a Revoltech

 

Huh? How do you figure? I was just expressing my opinion...
