Transformer Statues

[KELPIE]

Statue collector here, I think the main issue with the pieces cancelled are more because they are direct replicas of the figures and aren't better than the ones that have come before. The fact that the show was terrible couldn't have helped either.

Might be worth mentioning this one from Diamond Distributions due out in September:

Two years in the making and this Sixshot statue (crushing Ultra Magnus) by Azure Studios, is still just in the prototype stage... so is still some way off from release.

This one will be 85cm tall, and based on previous big statues with this much detail, this will be very expensive... but is nice to look at.

It's up on BBTS now... expensive is being generous, $3k USD. As someone who's happily bought some pretty expensive statues in the past, these Azure statues are out of my budget... at least unless they give us a Brainstorm (they seem to be basing a lot of their character choices from the IDW comics).

Grimlock has sown up on BBTS at a very affordable $124.99 USD compared to Diamond Selects previous release of Galvatron at $449.99.

It does mean that he's PVC compared to Resin, however it's not a bad compromise and puts it in line with the G.I.Joe statue releases.



The risk here is if Iron Studios ever gets the Transformers license, their scale, price point and design aesthetics will be going up against these. They do great work and if you were collecting a set, they'd be the ones to go for.

Just got an email stating that the Diamond Selects Galvatron has been cancelled



Such a shame, I was really looking forward to him.
