Masterpiece Optimus in Evangelion colours

How ridiculously pointless.

Does it come with a little Shinji Ikari instead of a little Spike?

^ Ha ha ha :D :cool:

Colour me interested. Anyone know where's going to stock it?

I have to say I'm with the "awesome" crowd. I like Eva, I like Optimus, I like alternate colour schemes. Awesome.

I would think most stores will have it?

The worst thing can happen is this piece looks bad and then they come out with 02 Red and orange and it looks good. lol

Can't say I'll go and buy it, but I'll admit it has some sort of novelty appeal. Making the Matrix crystal red like an Angel/Eva core was a nice touch :)

Any idea who the repainted Spike figure is meant to be? The paint scheme doesn't look quite right for a Nerv tech.

I'd still like to see if any media comes out of this. Just for fun, look at the Eva heights compared to G1 Optimus (Evangelion height hasn't exactly been consistent):

The detail on the trailer is nice. But that's about it.

The colours remind me of the competition Optimus toy years ago, that was produced to match the colour-scheme done by a 7 year old.

Hey, I'd totally buy an MP10 Crayola Prime. :D

Haha, lol, I agree -well done! :p:D

I'm not bothered by this piece, it's not for me & I wont be getting it but it's certainly far from the worst concept for an Optimus Prime toy...
