TF4 First Edition Optimus figure for February (Amazon excl)

[Sky Shadow]

The new packaging is beautiful.



It has a Japanese Z-Knights feel to it.

[Sinnertwin]

It is indeed
Looks like they took the YoTH packaging & tweeked it

I'm surprised this doesn't have a Thrilling 30 # of 30 stamp on it....

Image source is an Amazon listing, which has now been taken down (maybe it was put up too early).

Details of the listing (from here) are - released Febuary 4th from Amazon, for US$60.

It is said to be "exclusive" to Amazon (in America), so even if that is true, it might be released in other countries as well. There is a Japanese Movie figure coming out next month as well, so this is likely to be it too.

(this is like the preview figures of the first wave - an advance figure to get the hype momentum rolling among fans, retailers and maybe even the media)

I'd be surprised if it doesn't. (they don't usually have the stamp on the front)


Hmmm... it looks like the blue background art has a dinosaur theme.

The box is beautiful, something tells me though that this "First edition Prime" isn't going to be quite as sought after as the last First Edition Prime.

[doublespy]

beautiful packaging indeed.

Is this the first time ever of a Hasbro package having an 8+ age rating?

[Golden Phoenix]

The package looks great.

Shame the base figure looks pretty meh. Now it is just pretty meh.

I don't understand why people are saying this figure is meh. To me it looks like a pretty solid reinterpretation of movie Prime. It has decent articulation and sculpting, and I like the fact that the accessories are a sword and shield rather than just moar gunz!!!!!11!! Is it just the backpack people can't stand, or is there some other element of the toy that's turning everyone off that I'm missing?

Unless I'm viewing the toy wrong. To me he just looks like he has a kibble capsule and everything just folds on top of him to turn him into a truck. Very flat looking character, either way can't judge it properly till I see one in person.
