We have a new teaser from Imaginarium Art and their official Facebook page, featuring another Decepticon to join the ranks of their extremely detailed and dynamic, officially licensed Transformers statues -and it's none other than the faction leader himself, Megatron!
Only teased with a grey prototype render, you can check out the smirk and fusion cannon below, as they were released on the page with the trademark motto 'Peace Through Tyranny'. Additionally, you can browse their galleries on the page (right here) to see what the status is with their Optimus Prime figure (as we already covered here), and the development process that went into the production of the Autobot leader.

Will have to get the marble pedastool to go with it and perhaps surround it with a koi pond. Or would it look better on the yacht mounted to the wine bar with special lighting? Decisions, decisions, decisions...

Imaginarium Art has been producing a number of impressive concept images of upcoming statues they are developing, and that number is expected to grow with the next unique (and probably really sought after choice) that is next! If it's one thing we know is that there are not many options available of owning much related to the Quintessons aside from a few offerings here and there, those loveable Sharkticons like Gnaw, and some stuff coming from the Third Party sector. ImaginariumArt on Facebook has dropped a teaser for something I think we can all appreciate due to the rarity of Quintesson related collectibles when it comes to the wide multiverse of Transformers.

Imaginarium Art is really using that Transformers license to its maximum. They just teased the Quintessons and are now teasing Ironhide. They mase a post on their Facebook page using an image of IDW Ironhide and wrote "You have a rodent infestation! He is in the schedule. Anyone here disagree?". This is just a teaser of course and the final Ironhide model they will have will probably take a lot of cues from his G1 look, judging from their past designs.
They have posted a slew of other images on their Facebook page as well. They have multiple images of their assemply line for the Rodimus Prime statue (a finished sample can be seen here), images showing their 3d printing development for Devastator parts, and images of a yet to be assembled Nemesis Prime.
Enjoy all these images below!

It's been a few weeks since we last reported on producer of licensed Transformers statues, Imaginarium Art, and in the intervening time they certainly haven't slowed down at all! Since our previous report on January 10th we've seen quite a few reveals, teases and sample images via Imaginarium's Facebook page. The main focus is on their upcoming Nemesis Prime statue with multiple promotional images materializing on various dates, but there are plenty of other characters and statues coming down the pipeline that bear reporting too.
First up are a few renders of the work-in-progress Ironhide statue. A head-and-shoulders shot released on January 11th, followed by angled shots of the full (not yet posed) statue on the 23rd, show Ironhide to be as heavily detailed as Imaginarium's other works, though the renders are still currently in grayscale. It also appears the red veteran will be wielding a few heavy armaments to boot.
On the 16th, 18th, 22nd and 29th, in-person size comparison images were released featuring their upcoming Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus, Rodimus Prime and Nemesis Prime statues next to actual humans to demonstrate their size (yes, they're big).
A new work-in-progress render of their Jazz statue, previously revealed back in November 2017, rocked up on January the 26th. It looks to have been slightly simplified since its initial renders, boasting perhaps a little less mechanical detailing than what we'd seen before (Imaginarium is no stranger to tweaking their designs as they work on them after all).
A new, smaller Optimus Prime statue was shown off on the 30th, which also seemed to indicate the debut of a new sub-line of sorts: The Legacy of Cybertron. Featuring an entirely different pose from their larger Optimus Prime statue and even from the heavily-featured Nemesis Prime, it would appear that Imaginarium certainly aren't lazy even when working on multiple statues of the same character.
Finally, it seems the previously-teased Quintesson statue is also progressing, with further teases featuring art of the iconic "Judgement" and "War" faces released over the past forty-eight hours or so. Presumably the trend will continue over the next few days as well, with images of the remaining three "Wrath", "Wisdom" and "Death" faces still to come.
While you digest all of that information, take a look at all of the images in question below, or over on Imaginarium's Facebook page. Once you've done that, why not share and discuss any thoughts you have, over in the Energon Pub Forums - we'd love to hear them. And of course, keep an eye out for any more Transformers news coming your way on Seibertron.com - same (or different) 'bot time, same 'bot channel!

Very much this. I mean, I think? that the statues have their actual heights listed in inches somewhere, but I don't know for sure - and even so, humans are like one of the most widely-variable measuring sticks you could possibly use for a comparison image. I think X is probably right here, that these models are in the photos to sell the statues, not as providers of any kind of reasonable size-comparison information.

Something tells me that Imaginarium At won't be selling many Rodimus Primes in certain places in the world, or then again, maybe they will?!

If ONLY they had done this with a giant Dinobot and had a sign for it's name, proudly displayed as "Slag".
I would have it made as a Tshirt.
The insulting version of the gesture is often compared to the offensive gesture known as "the finger". The "two-fingered salute" (also "the forks" in Australia) is commonly performed by flicking the V upwards from wrist or elbow. The V sign, when the palm is facing toward the person giving the sign, has long been an insulting gesture in England, and later in the rest of the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, India, Pakistan and New Zealand. It is frequently used to signify defiance (especially to authority), contempt, or derision.

That's Optimus is ridiculously shiny. Also, his overall shape is pretty unusual. That IS different, I must admit. However for the pricetag, I'll be more conservative and go for something that can transform. Especially for a classic style bot.
Highly detailed statues like these are more fitting for the 1:1 accurate Movie bots, whose designs are clearly IMPOSSIBLE to transform. Sure, we now get MPMs, but there are still some sacrefices done for transformation. An articulated statue is where it's at for the Baybots. Being rich, I'd buy some but I don't have 2000$ spare bonuses floating around like leaves in autumn unfortunately.

Fellow Seibertron Sunstar has written up a review on her website for her latest addition to her Starsceam shrine, the Coronation Starscream Statue from Imaginarium Art. We rarely get the sense of scale of these figures, so seeing Sunstar unload the boxes and add it to his display area will give you a sense of how massive it is. She also took images of it with other Starscream toys, like the Masterpiece, to give us a good idea of scale.
Below are exerpts of her review along with several images she took. Many of us will never own this statue, but at least now we can get some great feedback of someone who has taken this plunge and indulge our eyes on the details!

This will be the single-most expensive purchase I have done for my collection outside of furniture – and I have no regrets. I'm going to cover some of my experience with this particular statue, there were some admittedly frustrating points in the progress of the day, but all in all its an outstanding figure
Price point: $1199 (USD) for a Canadian its about double with shipping.
Retailer: Big Bad Toy Store (BBTS)
Statue Edition: 115 of 400
Shipping weight: 95 pounds or 43.09kilograms
Shipping size: 44”x27”x25” 104cm x 60cm x 56cm
Shipping cost: Approximately $600+
Shipping duration: 3 Days (Sent on the 19th arrived on the 21st)
Shipping method: FedEx
Statue Set Up
Some assembly required...
The statue came with a beautiful instruction booklet, with full colour photos, clearly numbered and displayed in both complete and exploded form. Each part had a rare earth magnet in the joint that enabled it to snap together securely - this was amazing.
The set-up of the statue chugged along pretty nicely. As I stated earlier, each part was wrapped neatly and nestled away with loving care. My spouse helped by unwrapping each part, we started with the rockets to build up the base, and placed the paper and bags back in their original location. This kept the assembly clean and fairly quick. All was trucking along nicely until the right leg...
The right leg of doom... Resin, which this statue is made of, when removed from the mould sometimes may get a bit out of shape. This was a problem for the right leg and the left arm - to a lesser degree with the left arm. Some damage was caused to the joint while I attempted to remedy this problem. Instead of sharp 90° angles in the leg, it was rounded. I had to take a file and try to round off some edge on the leg joint at the body. Unfortunately I did some damage to the inside of the joint, however that is inside so it won't notice. The fact I had to file the statue to get the leg to fit, was a downer. It is fortunate I have tools at my disposal and I am quite acquainted with modifying things (such as war hammer) that I wasn't phased in the least. After a good amount of time filing, I had it fitting.
Another downer was a chip in the resin near this particular joint. We noticed it before I made my modification and after checking the bags and the area I was working with, we decided that this must have occurred prior to packaging. A little silver paint should fix it up, and its not that noticeable, however it is irritating all the same.
Another small problem we encountered, which is easily fixed, however a bit worrisome due to the fact resin is absolutely brittle and will shatter, is a rare earth magnet popped out of the left wrist. This was fixed with a small dab of Gel super glue.
Once these areas of trouble were addressed and rectified, the statue went together like bacon and eggs.
I have to say that as we went along that statue became heavier and heavier and I was grateful for my spouse's help as I needed a break from holding it. It has the size and the weight of a baby (a much smaller head though) The paint and feel of the figure is beautiful. Great details and a lovely addition to any collection, problems aside.
Once it was all set we gently moved the display into the corner of the room where it just looks amazing.
Statue: A++
Statue Problems: C (There should be no need for those quality issues for something with this price point.
Helpful Spouse: A++
I would rate this figure at about an A to A+ But I had problems and I may be an exception rather than the rule.

From one huge Starscream fan to another, nice collection. Im definitely not a statue guy, but I think it works well in a memorabilia collection of one particular character.

I will add this note here, although I had the money mostly saved up by the time I had ordered it, I still asked my other half if he'd object. I am glad I have such a good husband and friend who will allow me to indulge in my collecting. Side note, he has basically zero interest in the transformers - but he finds them kinda fun.
And its virtually the centrepiece of my collection. It is exactly how I imagined it to look there and, the table that I bought was perfect. It even had a glass top so it made the edition visible from the underside.

That's really cool to have a look at, thanks for sharing! Nice that they packed in the features that they did, makes it go beyond just being in the same state all the time.

Holy crap, over 600$US in shipping fees alone... and the thing is HUGE! 
I'm a Starscream fanboy as well, but having that kind of money to burn, I'd go for the original G1 Sky Shadow or Metalhawk. Still, anyone who can afford one of these statues, fees and all, and don't regret anything is perfectly fine in my book.
Speaking of being a Screamers fan, anyone like me who'd want the original Takara MP-03 "greenscream"? I want it but gosh, the price it go for....

I don't exactly have money to burn, took me most of a year to save that money. And I have to restart with saving again. And what is the greenscream going for these days?

You must be as "rich" as me then. If I'd want to, I'd get such a statue myself... For the price of not buying any Transformers or anime figures for at least 6 months!
As for "Greenscream", who always come at the minimum complete with box:
Ebay: Ignoring the dreamers, around 130 to 150$US plus shipping and taxes.
Mandrake: Only one at 25000Y plus taxes and shipping.
So I may be getting one from the good ol' Bay in a few months, once all my current preorders are finally paid for annd shipped. For a time no Greenscreams were under 300$US. Guess the overabundance of "better" MP Starscreams flooding the market (MP-11, 3Ps and KOs)have lowered the original's value... which make me VERY glad!

Since I only collect Starscream, saving for them isn't to difficult. We also make Beer, Wine and have a tiny salt water aquarium. (that aside, we don't own a car, we ride bicycles (all year)- we currently rent, so we have areas where we save. Mum has a car, which we borrow from time to time.
That Greenscream is quite handsome, although his initial colour scheme was disappointing, the releases afterwards, were delightful - still I wouldn't trade him in. I wouldn't trade in any of my 255 screams

Do you have Greenscream? If I ever get one, I'll be sure to also have the sticker sheet with all those random jet labels and I'll go crazy!

Oh, and to get back to the statues, got this one from Prime One Studios?
Initially, I wasn't a fan of the movie design for Screamers, but after owning and playing with the HFTD leader, I fell in love.

I considered it, but at the time, I did not have the money. I figured there would be a G1 based figure in the future and saved for it. There is another statue coming down the pipes but I cannot get it due to lack of space. Maybe one day, when I have the space, I can find someone willing to sell theirs to me.
