Looks great.
Ok, colour me unimpressed. For starters, the throne is cardboard. Maybe my expectations were a little high, but I was expecting a big chunk of plastic there. Then you have the sceptre which extends and ideally requires 4 Prime Masters to keep it stable when it's extended, yet only comes with 3.
This could have been something awesome, but Hasbro have massively cheaped out here.
But it does come with 4....
It comes with Amalgamous, Nexus, Prima and the Thirteenth Prime.

The review I just saw only showed 3, but considering one of them I saw was the 13th Prime, it does expose a potential issue. The Prime Masters are on a rotating disc, where Amalgamous and Nexus are positioned on a completely different part of the disc to Prima. It looks like if you aren't mindful of that, that you can easily lose Prima.
While the 4 Prime Masters are a definite nice touch, I just can't get past that cardboard throne - not when you can be paying close to $200 for it.
That seems rather expensive. I'd expect the SDCC price would be US$70-80 (about AU$100), as a normal Leader toy is US$50, and these sorts of SDCC toys aren't double their retail prices (like the Primatives Optimus, which was $50 at SDCC, while the regular Optimus was $45 at retail).
True enough that it won't be that much at the show but you need to factor in middleman costs/scalper pricing and international shipping(and GST on all of that). The TLTC price is expensive for sure but I think it's gonna be closer to the final cost for us for a lot of us to get our hands on it than we'd like to admit
I preordered this from tlc. Not sure if I’m going to get ripped hard.
But I felt that it would have easily costed $185. By the time I shipped it over here.
Surprised that not many people seem too excited about this figure.
Since this appears to have been released/found in Asia, a gallery review of the toy can be seen here.
