Thanks d rod for starting this thread.

I'll start the questions.

Kira, what are the dimensions on the base of the Optimus Prime Knight Edition?

Thanks

Is the company only interested in doing Movies and Games based statues?

Hi, Kira. I have my DOTM Optimus coming soon. I was wondering if the edition size will be cutted as is so high and many collectors are turned off by it. I know this statue is very intricate and expensive to make, but the ES is way too high and there 2 other versions of AOE Optimus coming also, plus these are movie/ Bayformers. I can only offer this and Bumblebee or maybe Lockdown, but that is it for me.

Are you guys making AOE Lockdown too and when will we have a preview of it?

How come Prime 1 doesn't do direct sale to international collectors instead of having Sideshow as a distributor and paying them a distributing fee? Due to the high american currency, international customers have to paid in american rates to import your statues. Americans are major collectors, but give us international customers a break too. Thanks

Optimus prime was big learning curve for us and big headache for us. The edition Size reflect this. We will do better ES for future projects. Please note that Transformers projects are very expensive to make and need a lot effort to able to produce it. Hope everybody can understand.

Lockdown is on our planning should be reveal during this year.

Currently Sideshow collectibles is our major distributor.
They are helping us tremendously to able to ship our item worldwide.

Should be same size as DOTM Optimus but little bit wider. I need to check with my team for the exact size.

Is the license VS? Need some detail Angels in my collection.



On another note, having SSC as a distributor is great for collectors in north america which I assume the bulk of it are your main customer fan base.

I can tell you that optimus (movie) is 28 feet tall. Based off the statue which is 23.7", it a little over 1:14 scale.
