I really hope those shoulders are ratcheted so he can pose that arm upwards with his cannon.


Hope the hips are ratcheted as well.


*fingers crossed*

 

Man this alone is making me think of backing out of my preorder...what the hell? Prime's feet are okay though but man those aren't going to hold up over time are they? I wonder if we make enough noise they'll do something about it. I'm just not cool with that at all and is also one of my major gripes in general. Putting a ton of paint on a figure that's meant to do complex transformations doesn't make it more 'premium' it just makes it more prone to looking bad over time. I like to transform and pose my transformers (go figure!) and stuff like this just makes me scratch my head and wonder why. They're not statues and although there's a market for people who just like nice looking stuff to display it just doesn't match the product's intended function at all. They're called transformers for a reason.

Does GCreation's Optimus have diecast painted feet?

 

Does GCreation's Optimus have diecast painted feet?

yes.

 

GT OP EX has diecast feet as well. And this in on ONE copy of the figure. Don't panic before you should panic, know what I mean?

 

Yup

Annnd yup.

Let the freaking out commence once we get actual final products in our hands and see what problems it actually has.

 

look again, the weapon is not attached.

 

Look again, his cannon is not attached.

 

Please read the post again.

I even referenced in the first sentence that in the first pic he didn't have the cannon on. But in the abundance of pics already provided (which I didnt feel it necessary to reference since it had already previously been pointed out by others) where he is holding the cannon, it looked too short.

Here's the pic being referenced, and yes the cannon is there. And to Guage's point, it does appear to be forced perspective.

 

Thanks for validating my point.  

 

I know just looking forward to this guy for a long time now.

 

tfonesixth.com is listing this figure to be released September 30th. Does any one know how reliable this info is?

 

Sounds about right. Expecting it to hit NA in October.

 

About time! I bought the pre-order from Baba thinking it would be a week away or something.

 

Nah, he has it listed for an October release.

The end of September is better though.  

 

Heh, I blew through my September budget, figuring that this guy (who is very high on my want list) wouldn't make it until October. And October is a fine month for him to come out, since I don't think there's anything else coming in October that I really want (unless MT gets their Starscream out).

NICE! How's he feel in hand? Any ratchets?

 

Soon...very soon.
