In-colour Dual Model Kit Optimus Prime and Bumblebee images

[FFN]

Toys"R"Us.co.jp have put up colour stock photos of the Dual Model Kit Optimus Prime and Bumblebee... model kits.

Toy"R"Us Japan offers an exclusive Battle Hook accessory/s(?) for Prime.

Optimus Prime (http://www.toysrus.co.jp/product/product_detail.aspx?skn=371664&pin=300&top_id=001)

Bumblebee (http://www.toysrus.co.jp/product/product_detail.aspx?skn=371665&pin=100&top_id=001)

As it says there, Optimus Prime is 7499yen, and is 24cm tall (roughly the height of a Leader class). Bumblebee is 3499yen, and is 14cm tall (roughly a Deluxe class).

As can be seen in this image, (http://img849.imageshack.us/i/1303473253166.jpg/) the parts appear to be fully-painted on the sprues, so expect some touching up to do if the sprue joins to painted area.

The proportions are a little stylised for my liking (torsos seem a little too small), but these are probably going to be the most detailed "toys" well ever get

I need that optimus!!!!!!!!!!! Any Idea if they are gonna be released in Australia and what they might cost here?

I honestly love the look of these.
I no longer have to buy the inferior movie toys, my life is complete...

It may look like it maybe SNAP together or some gluing.

I believe some painting is still required to get the detail.

For those who dont make models, this can turn ugly! :eek::eek:

These actually look quite nice. Not nice enough for me to seek out though.
