    Preordered, I don't own any MPM's anymore but I feel like I have to get this now that I have another chance and even if I just have him he will be a great thing to have. Here's hoping the "rumors" of BA Ironhide happening also become true. Cause if he does I’m back in on MPM’s and will rebut the ones I sold.
    God that figure will never not be funny and make me chuckle at it.

    That and if we hear more info and other's put him up (Showz didn't put a PO up for him because they didn't have enough info just like BA Prime not trying to say anything but just thought it's interesting the same happened with BA Prime and Hide Shadow).

    Really hope this means good news for Ironhide.

    Got my second copy preordered, I can replace the Matrix I lost and have this as a spare for alt mode or parts.

    Well, now that the opportunity has presented itself, what the hell. What harm is another Optimus figure ? Besides a financial one-
    But then again it's the best representation of Peterbilt Prime, sooo.

    Yeah that’s what I’m doing basically. Mine has a few minor breakages but one major hinge is on the verge of completely cracking apart so I will use either the new one or the old one for parts most likely. And maybe I’ll even do a battle damaged one or keep one in alt mode.
    You should make one into a battle damaged one or try out some mods!

    I'm going for a one-off figure to display my movie Optimus as a solo display. Any reason I should get Wei Jiang over of Black Mamba? I'm leaning towards Black Mamba because his height has a bigger presence. Price-wise probably favors Black Mamba too.

    on a side note, can anyone recommend where I can get Black Mamba's version besides Ebay?

    In my experience both my LS-03 and LS-03F(their DOTM version) have held up very well against multiple transformations. The paint jobs are lovely as well, but only inaccuracy in vehicle mode is the plain rear view mirros and lack of antennae. They also won't scale with stuff outside of BMB's OS MPM line. So if that's your cup of tea, go nuts.
    And check Aliexpress - JLKIDS, AI TOY Store and Wish-Toy Store are my go-to shops.

    Go for Black Mamba if you want a bigger figure, go with Wei Jiang if you want the double blasters and swords properly attached at the wrist.
    Those were the biggest things that bugged me about the MPM mold.

    To me Weijang just looks better, both in the front and especially the back. They also have the arm blades attached better.

    Go with TFsafari. They and ShowZ are the cream of the crop as far as vendors go.

    BMB Black Mamba LS-03F LS03F Ovsersized Bayverse Optimus Prime 32cm
    BMB Black Mamba LS-03 LS03 Optimus Prime (Oversized OS MPM04) 32cm

    I have both LS03 and LS03F. The paint job on the LS03F is AMAZING and I strongly suggest you pay the extra to get him. If you don't like the movie 3 dark of the moon abs though, LS03 (movie 1 and 2) is good as well. Black Apple is the same kind of prime that LS03 is trying to be and does it better, but is twice the price. LS03F in contrast might not be tit for tat as good as BA Prime either, but that stunning paint job coupled with the Dark of The Moon parts differentiate the figure enough that he may warrant a purchase even if a collector had BA Prime already. Both are going to be significantly easier and faster to transform than BA prime, which is a factor for consideration if you like to fiddle with your figures.

    Thanks for the overview!

    Besides the abs and darker paint, were there any changes to the aesthetics or QC that ls03f got for being released after ls03? Aesthetics wise, it looks like ls03F's elbow gaurds portrude out more in the back, which I like.

    Did ls03f have any improvements to flaws that are present with ls03?

    I'm not aware of any other than what has already been mentioned. I'd check out the side by side comparison though before choosing.

    I have a question.

    I'm thinking of buying the LT-02 Optimus Prime.

    This is because the joint strength of the legs is superior to that of Black Mamba OS Optimus Prime.

    Are the joints of the LT-02 Optimus Prime strong?

    I am particularly curious about the joints of the legs.
