    One thing first. Mine is from 2004 and can completely do a one footed kick and has neveevgiven me problems ans even general articulation he's better. Luke I said double hinged and added fingers and thigh swivel. I just threw in the other stuff as added extras bc it is articulation.

    Hoy toys does have the ab crunch but its remain to be send if its better or not. O really hope so bro cuz that's what I'm hoping too

    LOL I thought that base looked familiar, they literally took the Evil Superman base, turned it around and added an autobot logo to it. Check the yellow line in the torn up roar section lol (8:40 second mark of the video)....

    I'm pulling the trigger on this guy. He looks awesome - great paint apps and articulation and a very good size. I'm not generally into non-transforming Transformers, but honestly, how often do we transform our MPs? Its all about robot mode posing. This and the 3As are on my want list for their great robot mode representations and articulation.

    I've been on board since day one and so far I'm not disappointed. Should be a great addition!

    So Optimus cut off Starscream's head and wears parts of his corpse -- does this mean G1 Optimus now has movie Prime's personality?

    Just got mine in, and i actually really dig the overall look for him. He really gives me that Optimus Prime look that he had more in Beast Wars, even the Matrix has a similar look.

    Got mine yesterday. I like the figure a lot, but wish they would have taken the stand more seriously. It makes no sense for the figure and is too small to accommodate a good range of posing for the figure once you have him all geared up. Overall, satisfied.

    I shot a video review if interested on Youtube.

    As I mentioned in an earlier, the stand was ripped off from the Evil Superman figure, it's really not meant for optimus unfortunately...

    Yes, I saw that somewhere so rings a bell. I could live with the look if it at least worked from a size perspective, but its just too small to pose the figure on freely. This is my main gripe.

    incomplete review on articulation:

    - shoulder covers pull out to allow more shoulder range
    - abdomen grill pushes in for more crunch and upper chest rotation
    - hips pull down to allow further forward leg movement
    - feet has a small one click pivot forward (I haven't tried pivoting backwards myself)
    - lower neck is connected to a plate that allows further downwards head tilt

    Yeah, typically Hot Toys develop stands that are actually related to scenes that depict a particular storyline for the character, I think they were running out of budget when they added the Starscream wings and null rays lol... the stand is already too small for Evil Superman and his feet already don't fit squarely within the flat surface (because, really, there isn't much of a flat surface on that stand), I can only imagine how hard it must be to fit Optimus' feet in there (mine is still in the box along with like 50 other things I purchased and never got around to opening lol)...

    Ah, yes, thanks. The legs are much better now with pulling them down. That helps a ton. But, I'm still not getting much waist/chest rotation...nothing more than what I was able to show on camera. Let me know if I'm missing something and he should rotate like 180...otherwise, I'm still just getting small left/right movement.

    Holy crap. I did the impossible or so I thought. I was able to stand him with all his gear on. He's so back heavy I did not think it was possible, but with a really wide stance, forward lean and some rear heel action, he can do it.
