    Well the price might seem high but I have seen busts sell for $900 or more. In fact I have a statue that is close to $1000.

    It looks cool, but the price is too expensive. I think it would have been better with some pose.

    couldn't they give him a better pose?
    He's Optimus Prime for crying out loud.
    This just looks stupid.

    It seems that Transformers movie statues are cursed with either ridiculously contorted poses or completely stiff ones

    I'm just going to echo some of the same sentiments. It's nice...but not 390 bucks nice. The leader toy gives u more for your money and it looks pretty much screen accurate for a transforming toy.

    I just got Buster Prime 2 days ago and it is beautiful, that will be my display piece and it only cost me a whole lot less than this.

    My question now is why the Popbox statue looks so out of scale/proportion and Sideshows does not.

    It looks like Popbox didn't have the rights to or refused to pay for the digital models used in the film. For an authorized/licensed product that Popbox wants a tidy little sum for, it just doesn't add up.

    Popbox if you want 400 bucks from me, Prime has to look dynamic, be impressive and most importantly...be 100 percent accurate to the CGI model.

    Your Prime does not so...I pass.

    Nope, I think I'm pretty much good with my ROTF Leader Prime.

    In terms of accuracy it's not perfect, but it got a lot right and actually transforms, so I'd rather not get a highly detailed statuette that will cost me more than 10X's as much.
