Imaginarium Art Optimus Prime 12 inch statue - Page 6

I want to add, now that I finally have one in hand this smaller scale is just wonderful and very welcome. I’ve been hesitant to go lower then 1/4 but have really gravitated toward Tweeterhead’s Super Powers Collection & the new XM DC line. These statues are lighter, well detailed, (my biggest issue) affordable and space savers. Anyone who has doubts, sitting on the fence or grumpy (looking at you Craig

) about the direction this hobby is going. I’d really consider giving this scale a shot.

I can’t wait to get Jazz in hand. If companies are going to ignore less marketable but popular characters, this is the way to go.

Seeing Jazz and Ironhide is what drew me to this line. Waiting for in hand pics and (hopefully) videos before jumping on those pieces.

I have all but Nemesis on PO. I’ll post pictures on SF for every one.

Excellent pics mate.

He's waiting for me in my Pile of Loot.

I've got them all so far, however this LoC scale is for me going forward.

Hopefully it means we get more characters and build up a good roster.

Jazz, Megatron and the seekers are going to be phenomenal if they turn out like Optimus.

Out of curiosity Kelpie, how is the shipping cost-wise from BBTS to AU? Do you clump stuff together or ship one at a time?

I ordered mine from Secret Compass after BBTS had a fake sellout. They still haven't gotten him in.

Has IA mentioned if they will be doing Soundwave in this smaller scale ?

I think Craig mentioned they are and he might have his other tapes not used in the larger scale. I’d prefer they just stick to Ravage, Rumble and LB perched on his arm. They could add Ratbat too.

Thanks, Soundwave in this 12" scale will be hard to say no to.

We don't get anything nice like the US flat $4 shipping

Generally I clump a heap together with the pile of loot shipping and it used to save a lot in comparison to other US online realtors. These days with new GST/VAT for online sales I'm not saving much anymore.

Statues from BBTS are killer. I won't be ordering any of the new ones from them. The large scale is about $600US to ship to me. Haven't shipped the LoC stuff yet but I'm hoping it's not anything crazy.

Yup, they said they will do a LoC Soundwave. I think they were swapping out Ratbat for one other tape, Beastbox seemed to be the popular opinion at the time.
