    I was all in on the the first unpainted photos I saw. I thought it was going to be accurate to the G1 toon. I am not a fan of the more “stylized” version.

    I still plan to purchase but…

    …Would have been much happier with this head:

    Those look very big. And even if it is the style, it looks a bit weird to have the shoulders.

    Megaton looks nice his face have to many panels I look at mouth he look like samurai waiting remove mouth plate .,

    prime face plate looks weird looks removable it stands out on his face

    It’s probably another fan who said in all other movie and statue topics this how they should look in movies thank you who cares how they look transformers change in time and adapt to environment fans should do same with movies they have with cartoons

    they are big and will expensive maybe half size has to unicorn I’m guessing size small screen tv

    You could say the same thing about people who care about scale or cartoon accuracy, or a ton of other things that some people care about but not others. The symbols look different, some people prefer for them to have the proper symbols, why would other peoples preferences bother you?

    Prime looks furious, megatron looks happy. 

    makes perfect sense. 

    on a serious note though, these are definitely not for me. I love the idea, but they\'ve managed to pull off one of the ugliest Optimus and megs designs I\'ve seen tbh.

    I'd be mad too if someone removed my limbs and turned me into a statue.
    Well that or screaming in agonizing pain.

    Optimus looks really great, and Megatron does too - except those lips. WTF are those lips?

    He doesn't have lips, I think your confusing his teeth with lips.

    No interest in busts, however I love the look of Hot Rod. I don't recall seeing a finished version of that?

    I have the full prime statue, XM do superb work, with super high quality.

    Whelp, now on XM Studios website for the low, low cost of $4K USD (PRIOR to shipping). I know these things are massive, even relative to typical 1:1 scale humanoid busts, but don't see how they can justify the costs for polystone. Busts in this price range typically incorporate silicone to emulate skin. These things are also going to weigh close 200 pounds . . .

    I don't see these doing well at all.
