    Seems he likes him as much like the original version as possible rather than as the IDW version. With no backpack or extra leg or arm parts added.

    That is unless he decides to photograph him that way later. I personally prefer mine with all his stuff on.

    Hmmm. BSF said in his video that the figure is on loan from Robert D. I assume that copy is a review sample being passed around since this guy still doesn't seem to be in stock anywhere and that video is about two weeks old now.

    I see. Can I assume Optimus Prime is coming out next year then?

    I honestly don't know anything... But I wouldn't be surprised if Prime doesn't actually start mass shipping until January, maybe even early February. But just like Star Saber, we'll see review copies floating around online in December.

    Last I heard from Kapow was that they expected him at the end of September. Nothing since, so I guess anytime now?
    Wanted to get him in hand before I committed to pre-ordering their Optimus Prime

    I like Tarn's hands. I don't think his type of hands would work for many other Transformers, but they work really well for him. Makes him more expressive.

    Got my Star Saber on Monday in the Mail from TF Robots.
    Pre- Ordered at Kapow initially but they don’t seem to have any idea when he will be finally in stock.

    Here some quick pictures I made as well. 8E661E72-6A20-4FA2-9D8D-0A729D681EBF.jpeg F94D0F72-0799-4D69-BE29-BBAB08146718.jpeg F5D24BD1-8AD0-4E86-AE24-ED9696A982FF.jpeg

    Is that the standard version or is it the one with the gun and light up head?

    Not "delicate" per se, but the balljoints at the bases of the fingers are simultaneously quite tight and shallow, so the fingers will pop out quite easily if you aren't taking great care at how you manipulate them.

    Right yeah that’s what I mean. If they ever attempt hands like those again I’d be a bit concerned if they aren’t improved.
