The small Optimus doesn't work for me. It's the thick black lines, and I don't care for the energon axe specific pose.
On the seekers, the base is sublime. The nailed the effect here. They must commit to this theme now. The flame and smoke effects are pastel-like, contrasting the cel shading as in the cartoon. I wonder how they'll handle extreme scale, or will the line be scale agnostic?
The price has me scratching my head, as I thought the three variants could lower the price to $599.

Is that the real statue. The Bust looks real but the figure looks like it was drawn?

I think a base statue with 1 set of arms and 1 head would have been great at $599.
Then an Exclusive/Deluxe with the extra set of arms, the megatron gun switch out and the extra 2 heads at $749.
More of a P1 approach. I don't think the price is super terrible at this point in time, i just think we are so use to PCS pieces being cheaper and this is in Prime 1 territory.
And as usual ALL the stuff that's going down with PCS, the delays, the refunds etc etc all the usual stuff is what most people in this community think first when it comes to PCS....rather than what the statue is like or how it is priced, which of course is 100% understandable.

Just as with Storm Shadow, Starscream is absolutely on my must-get-someday list. I've been doing that for F4F, watching stock before it dries up from retailers completely.

There were some comments made about getting a bonus of some description.
Can't see how they'll manage that if they are selling them separately over a period of time?
Skywarp is my main out of the trio. Starscream is a nice to have/maybe.... and then Thundercracker was in my sights but at this price, I'm going to have to think about that.

That's quite a few sculptors credited, and looks like they outsourced the paint design.

Sigh... It just ticks all the boxes for me. It's literally like looking at the cartoon I fell in love with as a kid. A must buy for me. PCS (according to my pre-orders) might be the one company hitting all the marks for me right now. I don't ignore their issues but I'm going to keep the faith they are going to turn this around. 2019 is crucial for this company. I hope they step up to the plate and knock it out the Park.
