I saw that exact pic i think the start of last year of the end of 07, either way, thats not a new pic.

doubleclouder,

The Robot mode stands 6.5 inches tall. Trailer can open (but nothing inside). kit transforms from train to Robot.

The item is made of high quality Resin, will NOT be painted or fixed up (base color would be off white color). You might need to clean it up a bit, and paint yourself.

Is it still true that the figure will not come painted? Also, from SGCollect....orders seems to have closed since 14th Jan. Is TF.SG doing a separate order then from what i'm reading?

hey guys...

the one which sgcollect is selling, is the 10 inch unpainted version. it has more than 100 parts of joints and has more or less been sold out. It will come unpainted.

the one which i posted here is the 6.5 inch figure, unpainted at the moment, but photos of the painted one will be out pretty soon, and I will keep everyone updated here! Since it is smaller, it has 85 joints, making it easier to be transform to each mode! The 6.5inch one is more exclusive as it is personally handpainted by one of our ladies in our forum here: http://www.tf.sg/index.php?option=co...sk=view&id=167

what other major differences, read below:

1) ladder of the larger one is separate, smaller one is a whole solid block

2) there's a split in the arm of the large one, non in the smaller one

3) a split in the leg of the small one, none in the larger one

4) the details of the chest of the larger one is a little faded

5) gun barrel of large one splits into 2, solid tube for the smaller one

I am sure there will be other differences. I will check it out with griffin76, who has fabricated the customs intricately in his workshop. More details, i will keep everyone updated!

keep us informed then...

Basically a custom garage kit (requires extensive assembly) of Optimus Prime based on the Transformers evolution series Hearts of Steel. From SG griffith76

http://www.griffith-monolog.blogspot.com/

The resin kit is available in two painted forms as well as an unpainted form
"Classics red/blue to pay homage to Prime's G1 colours as well as a black version for realism." .sabsabby will paint the kit for US$230

The kit is fragile but durable and is meant for display rather than treated as a toy. It assembly is complex to someone who has no kitbashing experience, it requires drilling, gluing and precision.

There are options at an extra cost for the creator to assemble the kit, refine the pieces to remove imprefections, cost of replacement parts and service to exchange low-grade parts


There are three options to express interest in the kit. "Expected date for first orders to be fulfilled: End Jan - mid Feb". (i prefer the $50 deposit that ensures you priority in the list and the first to ship out)

Here is a picture of the potential paint scheme

Depending on the success of this kit more characters in the series may be designed. i just discovered this comic and i am really liking the designs of the other TFS.This is a good quality piece that iwill be timeless, it def. worth the $$

also funny is that OP in the series spends most of his time in statis lock
