Damn that looks cool. Shame it isn't real, has the superior yellow eyes and everything.

 

Lol I'll be waiting for the blue repaint, Optus Thomas (Opthomas?)

 

These guys either really do not get April Fools, or they’re the best at it and just total sadists lol. Somebody please explain to them that a funny joke would be teasing something hideous that nobody wants, not showing us imaginary masterpieces, haha..

I can’t remember a single joke figure that wasn’t highly demanded upon reveal... and since they faked us out *twice* by teasing Eris and then ACTUALLY OPENING PREORDERS with a sub-30-day release date... I think Thomas the Truck Engine here makes it a hat-trick.

 

I would purchase modern Knight Morpher figures from MMC in a heartbeat.

 

Don't forget that
2020 lady tarn as April Fools (they made it)
2019 fortmax as April Fools. (Is being made)
2018 ultio as April Fools (Made it)
2017 kultur asterisk mode as April Fools. (Made it)
2016 Ebrius as April fools. (Made it)
2015 carnifax as April Fools (Made it)
So maybe tfcon exclusive will be Choo Choo optus Loco.

 

Yeah, sure they are just having fun with it. Showing it off on April’s 1 gives them an exit plan if they decide to abandon the project. But if they go through with it, minds are blown and it becomes the stuff of legends?

 

God I’m holding my thumbs that it’s real, and they name him Optus Loco lol. Imagine how awesome the Nemesis and SG versions would be.

 

Lady Tarn hasn't been made yet though, that's the Infinite Finity line right? We haven't had any updates on that figure in months. So maybe if this does get made, it'll be released in 2022 or 2023, which would be pretty neat.

edit: I was wrong, egg on my face. Nothing to see here  

 

Ocular Max IF-01

 

What are you talking about lady tarn is PSX exclusive IF-01 Eris, her preorder just went up yesterday on PSX With a May 1st release.

 

Holy crap, I've never been more happy to be proven wrong. I apologize for the misinformation - I thought I was subscribed to the relevant thread and obviously I've missed updates.

Thanks for this - super excited for it! And sorry to others about the misinformation.

 

howd u get him on an action base wh

 

clamp behind the crotch.

 

I used Action Base 5. I wouldn’t recommend it since Optus is heavy. I literally just put the stand arm into any open crevasse on his back and balanced it long enough to snap a couple photos

You’d definitely need a more heavy duty stand if you want to display him long term.

 

That looks amazing!! but I'd love to see this thing happen at some point?

 

F#*K!!
I was so jazzed for this throwback to their first figure

 

They said they scrapped that awhile ago.

 

At first, I thought parts from the original KM-01 render were taken and slapped on to the Pexus render for this, but it turns out those parts are pretty different.





Much respect to @griffith76 (or whoever did this) for taking the time to troll.

Also, I think we can count Loco as having a space alt mode

 

Holy hell, do I want this

 

Hm... Optus Cloakus?
