Full Unboxing & Showcase:

 

What are the last two pics trying to show?

 

Interesting that the blue paint apps appear to be almost metallic but not the blue plastic, which seems relatively close to SS32's.

This really is kind of a hodge podge of a release, there's some nice paint app additions but we're still missing quite a bit and the colors we do have aren't even consistent. I could maybe see myself getting this on heavy discount and parts swapping a bit with another version of the figure.

 

Really gorgeous finish. A damn, damn shame there's no red on the leg it's a key bit of colour.

 

Extras from the previously posted Person's Blog:















Also, the owner applied a few additional paint apps of their own, which of course aren't present on the fig itself. Explains why some photos randomly have Red on the lower legs and what not.

 

Has a PF Jetfire been rumored?

BBTS has this Optimus dated for November but I just saw that it's released in Japan so order placed through Amzn JP. I messed up my original ss05 by trying to mod the chest so this is an expensive but welcome addition.

 

He was part of the originally teased lineup (blacked out silhouettes). However, currently it’s unclear whether the line will continue beyond Optimus. His WFC wave mate hasn’t been solicited yet so it’s up in the air at the moment.

Hey better late than never to paint your stuff properly. Looks superb!

 

Just got mine. Not looking very premium so far.

 

The plastic ties causing various paint scraping all over the torso. Why phase out clamshells when you're going to use microplastic ties that ruin the finish of the toy. What a let down I'm extremely disappointed.

 

Damn, that's Hella irritating. Any chance you can return it depending on wherever you ordered it from?

 

I've contacted ami ami. Some issues were a manufacturer defect, like the eyes, abs, wheel being bent, and the fact I got two fucking right handed swords. But the issues that come from the plastic ties are visible on multiple people's copies, and may get worse with time (as they're left inside the box) so watch out for that if you're getting one yourself.

 

Any word on when the last 3 figures of the premium line will be announced or released. I have a feeling they got canned.

 

Yeah, I have the same fear. I am still really looking forward to the ROTF Leader Jetfire in the PF series as far as movie designs go. Still want to know what they would do to Wheeljack and Shockwave from the WFC line.

 

The rumor was the line was canned but we don’t know 100% yet. If we get a reveal now that Prime is out, the line is still alive.

 

Got my replacement from Ami Ami. Now I have a proper copy, much praise for this release. I adore the deco and it makes this the definitive SS scale version of this Optimus design, some would say SS32 is better but that figure sort of stuffs everything on his back to achieve a slightly better chest, I know that's an unpopular opinion, but I think the cons from the retool (ignoring the jetfire gimmick) don't really result in a balanced figure, just look at that horrid truck mode.

But this new PF version has a gorgeous truck (besides the stacks) that shames SS32. The colours are popping as well. Adore posing it and the accessories are perfect. Transformation isn't that fun as its just sort of moving things out the way to make way for more panels to swing around. I wish they went the extra mile and painted everything properly, there's still silver on the ears missing and various areas the flames should be on, and pinstriping wouldn't have hurt.

I really hate the way they packaged it, its just stuffed into plastic ties that I really don't want flying everywhere as they're microplastics and hard to spot.

I highly recommend this figure!
