Preorder a Giant 6.5 Foot Tall G1 Optimus Prime Statue

I'd love one but I have no idea where I would put it or how I would pay for it

I dunno.... maybe if I could transform it....

who can afford that thing?

I can get a life size preator that you can even wear the weapons and mask for way cheaper. Dont get me wrong this is cool but the price is way to high. Im sure you could get someone to make one for cheaper. I have the feeling that not many of these will be sold. My truck isnt even worth that much. Id rather spend the money on a car or a shit load of TFs than that thing.

$3,000 plus for a statue? WTF?!

...that's...no.

It doesn't even look that good due to the ugly wash...

My Optimus Prime halloween costume is assembled as a statue in basement, and frankly, that's good enough for me!

Yaaaaay! More G1 shit!!!

If it could transform, I would buy it

You would think at that size (and price) that the detail and paint app would be better.... looks shite to me.

Huh??? Okay, now I've seen everything!

It just looks like an oversized MP Convoy...

It looks almost EXACTLY like someone stood up 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime, posed him stiffly, took a snapshot, then mucked it up in Photoshop. I'm 98% sure that the photo on the listing is a mockup, and nothing more.

If I had the money, I'd buy two. One to repaint as Ultra Magnus

I'd agree. I just thought it was funny. There's no way I'd buy it. Not that my wife would let me if I wanted to.

WOW.

Just... damn. That's a big arse Prime! And a big arse price tag if I've ever seen one.

Well, Does It transform? Tghis could be the ultimate Masterpiece Prime...

HOLY ****

I'd love that, but my parents would NEVER in 4,000,000 years put out the $$$$$$$$$$$$ for something like that. I should have saved my money from the time I started buying toys.......stupid stupid stupid!!!!

people who buy stuff like this are thesame ones who won't give 10 bucksa month to charity and drive SUV but don't live on a dirt road.

4k for a 6'6", 245 lb statue? Pass please! This statue totally rules, and I think it's worth about that much (just because it's a 6'6" statue of Optimus Prime), it's just that there's no way in heck I'd ever be able to afford it. Nor would anyone else in my immediate family.

o-k-a-y....

First of all if someone thinks only size can get them profit well think again. For almost 4000 bucks and hundreds for shipping that piece of crap better go to work for me as well or at least i can claim him on my tax return.

Here is how it should be done - Cut the damn thing down to half the size, make it fully transformable as the leader size for the same price and i might reconsider it.

I hate it when jerks out there toying with people money.

Now there's something we won't be seeing in the Seibertron.com toy galleries any time soon.

you mean thats an actual photo? i thought it was an artist rendering....hmm

LOL...that's actually true.

I wouldn't get him. He's waaaayy too much and plus he's not my favorite character.

At $4,000 US each. I think I'll get two. One for the living room, as a conversation piece, and one on the bathroom to freak people out, and to act as storage for spare toilet paper.

Yes, I am quite insane

And here was me about to place a large bet on Ryan being the only person to buy one!

Holy Fucking Shit...

If it could Transform I would Buy it. So I could go ride around on optimus.

Hey Seibs, I bet if you open an actual Energon Pub on your end of town where the fans could come and touch it, You could get away with collecting donations for one.

AND it will be a business expense... as will every other TF related purchase you would make afterwards.

How bout it? Any Midwest American TF fans wanna go in on the First Transformer Nightclub?

This could be the 'Cinderella's Palace' of the TF Disney World!

80 kgs? That would be hell to transform him... But if they'd do a Galvatron, or Grimlock, I would consider buying them.

I can afford it, but I'd be out of money. Thank god I still know a rich friend.

I'm guessing by afford though, you mean have leftover money.

Agree with everyone above and below me. That is way too much.

But I think it's fake. Come on! A giant Optimus Prime statue is rediculas enough. But to say it's from a company called "'86 Hero Toys" ... really!? '86? As in the year the original TFTM came out. Just sounds too crazy and coincidental to me.

I would think that at 6'6" this Optimus Prime statue would be difficult to pull off, even for you. (That'd be saying something given how great the galleries tend to turn out.)

I saw an online questionaire a long time ago from asking if anyone would have intrest in this. Alot of people said "yeah, but it would cost to much, not transform, and so on..."

To sum up, it all led to alot of people saying "Sorry, but no", and they made it anyway.

maybe it has electronic sounds and moves to music

If you cared about this community, you would put out the $4000 you don't have, and buy the 6 foot robot you don't want!!!

Price is higher than I was expecting, and the shipping prices would be astronomical... It would be cheaper for people from outside the USA to hire their own private plane and pilot to get it home, than pay the shipping costs...

Still how many people could say "wanna come see my Giant Prime Statue?"

I would love to!!! Depends on where you live, but.... I have been pondering the idea of opening somthing in that capacity. It would give people who aren't interested in sports bars a place to go enjoy the things they love too, and have a few drinks. Picture it, Anime of somesort playing on the screens, better interior design(futureistic maybe), and kick ass japanese arcade style videogames, and best of all, The Transformers Movie Soundtrack(and stuff of the like) on the jukebox!!! Sounds like heaven on earth to me.......

Oh yeah, the statue rocks, but i wouldn't be able to safely afford it on my own. I wonder if it includes the matrix? That would convince me to consider it further.

Whoa. I need one of these as a gimmick for picking up guys at the bars. "Hey? Wanna check out my two-meter-tall Autobot?" Hmmm, I think I could make one myself for a tiny fraction of the cost, but then it wouldn't be 'official'.

I wanna go to a RL Energon Pub! I'll make you a dart board with Wheelie on it, even!

What would you do with the bloody thing? For that kind of money, you should be able to hit a button and have it transform.

I'm guessing that's why they're called "'86 Hero Toys."

Holy guacamole. That's all I can say.

4,000!!! bucks, go to hell.

Ditto! I love the thing to death, but forget it! Heck, produce a plastic version this big (even if it's hollow), then we'll talk! I have an entire PA system/DJ set up, complete with lights, an LCD projector, screen, 2 large speakers, mixer, amp, stands, cords, etc. and it only cost about $2,200. Just putting things in perspective from my end.

That is awesome. However, they need a Megatron statue to accompany it.

Forget the price. Thats what Credit Cards and third mortgages are for anyway. The real issue is space.

Mmm, I'm kinda bummed out now. I'm buying a place next summer. Till then I don't have the space to put it anywhere.

Well, this just got added to my Holy Grail list. I will definately have to hunt one of these down at some point in the future.

Besides, would be kinda cool to mail it to Ryan for a gallery.

Awesome, But no room or enough money for it.

*Restrains himself from taking out his credit card*

The price is indeed shocking! So if I want it, I have to pay that plus a few thousand shipping costs..... not in a lifetime!

Man, we may need to start a Giant Optimus Prime Anonymous Club.

Get together everyday and say, "Today is day 4 that I have resisted taking out a Credit card and buying a 6 FOOT FIVE Prime."

SIX FOOT FIVE!!!!! Thats a 14 inches taller than my GF!!!

God, the more I think about this, the more I want it.

And to those who said aww it doesn't transform. Umm, even if it did, I think transforming a 4000 dollar, 200 pound figure without damaging it would be a tad too risky.
