Imaginarium Art is back! For review, let's take a look at what's out there....
Prime 1 Studios
$1K from Sideshow
Nice. But is this really G1 Optimus? Hi Josh Nizzi.
XM Studios
$2K from Spec Fiction Shop (probably other options but I live in the US)
Dynamic and great detail. But still more artistic liberties.
Imaginarium Art
$1250 Spec Fiction Shop (was at BBTS for $1200)
Well hello Optimus.
Source. Here is who we want!
In my opinion, no contest Imaginarium Art is the G1 Optimus Prime. Not taking away anything from the other 2 as they also look like great statues. But I am looking for my G1 Prime.
So my quick critique after getting this guy.
As awesome looking in person as the pictures. Packaging was good and no breakage. Art box was awesome and reminded me of buying the toy. Some plastic pieces for attachments such as head, hands, guns, axe, and trailer piece. Roller and convoy dude had good weight. Optimus and the base both Polystone. No batteries or instructions bummer but does not take anything away from the piece as these are only first impression items.
In summary, this is the Optimus Prime grail piece. Tops anything I have seen to date but who knows the future. Price is competitive. I am one happy camper.
Time to roll out and hang out with my Prime. Great job Imaginarium Art and one of my favorite pieces. Thanks for reading!!
