Masterpiece Optimus Primal

Verno will be pleased in 2016! Though it looks so smooth, i can't imagine how it might transform?

Hrm. An unarticulated beast mode?
If the robot looks good. I'd go for it!

That doesn't look like a transforming figure to me though?

Maybe just a placeholder? Would 2016 be like a 20th anniversary of BW?

Would be hilarious if it was just a non transforming gorilla.

Verno can't come to the phone right now...

Masterpiece? Optimus Primal?
*pinches self* ow.. Wait. This isn't a dream? This isn't a dream!! :D
WOOHOOOOHOOOHOOO!!!!!!
I was worried we'd have to wait years for one of these after Star Saber won the fan vote.
That gorilla mode is.... Surprisingly smooth?
I NEED more pics of this NOW.
Actually I just need this now. It will be mine!
Finally a masterpiece I can get excited about :D

Now they better do a MP Megatron to go with him

I guess my first questions have to be: How much do masterpiece figures cost? And where best to import them from?

If the Gorilla lacks any articulation or something like that, this would be a pass for me because I don't want a Transformer that transforms into a statue.
