Except that's not true.
Both are based on the movie render, which is where the spine originates from, however both have very different approaches to implement it.
The Yolopark spine is an actual functioning moving structure, the ThreeZero spine is sculped on detail that's hidden away by the articulation designed to let the piece look more complex than it actually is.

 

Doesn’t look that complex time consuming that’s all not complex big improvement over first movie models those models where good not perfect pieces fall of them maybe this company succeeds where other company didn’t pass in

 

wat

 

That looks stunning, glad it's gifs showing off how everything moves. If only I wasn't godawful at building and caring for model kits.

 

That's not how much it costs. That was the price for a gaint pre-built figure that's even fancier than this model kit. This model kit will be much cheaper than $2K.

You can checkout my earlier post below to see how much it might cost. It's not confirmed though. Considering it has moving pieces, it might be closer to $200.

 

Still impressive though. And really, why mess with what works?

 

Thanks. Hopefully not above 300

 

Challenge accepted.

 

Don't get me wrong. This is a really impressive model kit with extreme engineering for the articulated parts, but why can't they get the elbow articulation right. One of the standout animations of the OP in the B Movie for me is the way the circular bit on his arm tucks into the forearm when he bends his elbow. As good as the Threezero DLX OP looks, they didn't get it right, WeiJiang didn't get it right either with Fire Scorpion. ToyWorld did though along with Hasbro. Both MPM-12 and even SS-38 got it right.

For something this high-end that doesn't even transformer, I just feel like they totally missed this detail.

 

I've been an unregistered forum lurker for the last 7 years. I made an account just to watch this thread and wait for its release. CAN'T WAIT.

 

Can't wait to see this Prime in action for ROTB!

 

god i wanna build this so bad i really hope some way of getting this in the states pops up

 

Yeah, I liked that cool detail as well and I'm surprised no high-end company has tried to replicate it when like you said even the Hasbro figures did. (kind of)

 

So an expert chime in here, going back and rereading this thread...the $3k price is a different completed figure from Yolopark, the IIES series. The PLAMO/SOSKILL is the product you can buy, paint and assemble yourself...and also much smaller than the finished IIES version. We don't really know the final price of this version correct? PLAMO/SOSKILL is about 12" and IIES is about 25"? Thanks!

 

All correct. Very surprised we still don’t have a price.

 

I'd be shocked if he cost any less than a Perfect Grade Gundam.

 

How much does a Perfect Grade Gundam cost?

 

Varies by the kit, $200 tends to be a usual starting price point from what I've seen.
