Anyone have any idea exactly what this Optimus is? I ordered the Black Mamba oversized Grimlock, and am looking for just the right Optimus to ride him. The "official" photos of the toy include some shots of what looks like a modified voyager TLK Optimus, but it doesn't seem to be made by Black Mamba. I've seen a bunch of custom jobs online of it, but I'm guessing this is an actual produced item. Especially since a Korean YouTuber reviewed the Grimlock and showed the Optimus with him, but of course never identified that figure. You can see it here: Any ideas on where I could find this, if it even exists, would be great!
Does that mean it doesn't exist outside the photo? Can't be purchased anywhere? I know early releases of the big Grimmy came with a very small Optimus toy, which is not the one pictured.
It comes with that Grimlock. Not the first run, I dont think. Check with seller. WeiJiang also has a version with a Prime
Yeah, it looks like that's what it is, just with some bits cropped off in the picture. Assuming I can't get it along with Grimmy, any idea where I could actually get this guy?
E-bay I'd assume. Or trawl the BST thread - can usually find someone dumping Bayverse guys on the cheap there.
Black Mamba OS’ed it. Taigongiskans or what the fuck ever, made a smaller version. Target had these up until X-Mas.
I don’t think we got any real info other than “mini Optimus Prime”. It’s just the Voyager with fancy paint.
That head sculpt looks a little different to me, though. Could just be the fancy paint that makes it look that way, however.
No, I don't think so. That set was Leader-class. Yeah, that's what I thought too. Just seems odd that not only would it show up on the instructions, but also in some rando's Youtube video, if it didn't exist. Well, this might end up a dead end.
...or it's close. Weird. Still not the same. Oh well, I give up, unless someone happens to know something more than we've discussed already.
According to the BmB Weibo page, it is an undersized KO of the TLK Voyager. Unfortunately, rumor has it that it was not ready by the time the first batch was shipped out, so they will be sending them out 1st quarter of 2019 for those who got the first batch. (rough translation for the highlighted part: will be compensated in 1st quarter, 2019) Incidentally, the Optimus is slated as 12 cm high. A friend of mine bought the LS-05 recently, and the seller promised to pass him the mini Optimus once BmB has sent them out. You may wish to check with your seller on this.
Done! Yeah, the mini-Prime actually looks different from the one in the picture, but if I can get it added on all the better! Thanks!
