Transforming Bearbrick figure

[DELTAprime]

I'm not going to do a full review but I got this guy in my POL today.

He's actually really good. I was getting him just for my weird Optimus thing but he really surprised. He's about the size of a pre-DOTM deluxe and is made from good quality plastic with decent paint apps. A little loose at the robot mode elbows but that's the only bad thing. He is hard to get for the Y3500 Japanese retail price due to Hasbro not allowing 3rd party licensed transformable toys outside Japan, but I don't feel ripped off paying secondary prices from BBTS.

A fifth Bearbrick has been revealed - Movie Optimus.

The first four were Gen1 Optimus, Bumblebee, Megatron and Starscream. (and a few years ago there were non-transforming ones as well)

These are about Deluxe size, for about AU$35-40, from Japan.

The fifth transforming Bearbrick was apparently released on February 28th in Japan, so for those who collect them, it is now out.

Hmmm.... I really dislike that Bear.
I have the other Optimus bearbrick and he's cute. This TF4 one just looks like some kind of skeleton. One of the rare times I can happily save a few $$.

So it looks like a sixth licensed Bearbrick Transformer is coming, with the usual black redeco of Optimus that we expect from Japan... as Nemesis Prime, for a June 19th release in Japan.

It is a Gen1 Nemesis Prime, based on the paint details, but the same mould was used for both Movie and Gen1 Optimus Bearbricks.

How did I not see that coming.

Yeah, I'm still getting him.
