Hot Toys Optimus Prime Megatron version

[UltraMarginal]

Is the figure bad or the price?

Looking down on the hips, it looks really gappy to me. there is something a bit off about the proportions overall.
I think it's a bit too scuffed up. I like the fingers and the head sculpt is fine. I hate the gun and any element of the wearing of decepticon skin just doesn't appeal to me.

Other than that I think it looks fine, but the price. that is a joke. Ultimetal prime I think is better value for money. even at more than twice the price. This prime is literally the same size as MP-01 and doesn't look as nice overall and doesn't transform.

May not be too many people here keen on this but DaimChoc has posted quite a number of pics on his FB of the HT Optimus Megatron version. Here's a couple of them:

I'll admit that looks totally badass, but even a piece made by Hot Toys (One Powerball and I'd go nuts with their products) that doesn't transform seems odd

I like the fusion cannon... but I also like the wings... LoL

I would go Ultimetal instead of spending crazy money over both versions.

This is on shelves everywhere here in HK for around HK$2180 (AU$368 current rate).

I still think it is the worst Hot Toys mould they've ever done - and I love G1 Optimus Prime and most of the other Hot Toys figures. Having seen it both with Starscream and Megs attachments I just see it as overpriced.
This would have to come in under HK$900 for me to buy it, and even then I would probably throw the accessories away (as nice as they are) because they don't fit with my image of G1 Prime.

I'd rather pay less ($250AU) and get none of the wings/large stand/Megatron junk. Throw in a Matrix, a Megatron in gun form, and I'd be keen. Accessories that fit, rather than those that don't, y'know?

I just think this is the worst collectable based on MP Optimus period. Hot Toys must have given it to their lowest level designer to do.
