Remember that really big, really expensive, really battered version of movie Prime that 3A was set to create? Well, it appears they are nearly ready to send the figure out to all us collectors!
Three A has now shown off the figure and there are plenty of pre-orders that have now gone live. For a reminder, this figure is one of those massive collectible moving/posable statues. The pre-orders currently have him for around $430. Check out a pair of images below from Three A and the pre-orders from our sponsors that have gone live.

And those wings... they look like they need to twist the whole assembly like with POTP Starscream. Hopefully HasTak can make it happen, with no faux parts of course.
Meant to write cockpit, not chest. Again, really hope they don't cheat with the chest, even if it looks like they might

Half? Someone’s being generous

To be fair, Hasbro considers him a triplechanger and he hardly spent much time in jet mode in the movie.

Where would you rather have them be placed? I agree with you on the (un)practical design choice, but I believe they would still get damaged regardless of where they are placed.
Back to the figure, love it, love everything about the design, hopefully SS Blitzwing will be revealed in China on the 26th

I do like this but I really do wonder why they bother putting a lot of effort into a character that lasted about 10 seconds on screen (yes i'm being facetious)
another reason why i hate character deaths in general

Probably because they get the designs well in advance of seeing the movies so they just pick characters to make based on how cool they look, only to find out their entire screen presence in the movie can be spliced together from TV spots. Prime1 is also making a statue of him so someone on the movie's marketing team did a great job of selling companies on Blitzwing as a good choice for a high end collectible.

Yeah true that is the way it works.
It's just such a shame the design wasn't used throughout the movie.

Lest we forget that Onslaught statue from TLK. One of only 2 cons that had a statue lined up from TLK, and it was that guy. Not Nitro Zeus, not Barricade, Onslaught.

Well hey, at least Onslaught gets something that way. And he makes for an imposing statue if nothing else.

Pretty sure it was cancelled though, after how disappointing he was and the film was in general. All we ever saw I think were mockups but no statue itself, and definitely no pre-orders.

That's cuz he is a fully-articulated figure; the article is mislabeled. 3A makes articulated figures, not statues.

Also not a bash on the figure at all, but personally I prefer the look of the Studio Series one. Looks more uniform and how I remember him looking in the movie. This one looks a lot busier and the head looks a lot thinner than I remember. I assume this is more based on earlier concept art?

Someone actually did some side-by-side comparisons of it with the final movie model, and it's mostly pretty much spot-on, although the head does look thinner (wondering if that's just the angle/aperture warping it or not).

Mondo is showcasing their new Mondo Mecha figures modeled in the form of a Mecha Batman and Mecha Captain America respectively and are everything a robot loving comic book fan could hope for. These slick designs are like a fusion of classic McFarlane toys aesthetics with current Flame toys attitude. Release dates and prices are listed as yet to be determined. Mondo is also showing off their current sets of Marvel and Transformers pins shown below.

Nemesis Prime DLX Scale Collectible Figure (Limited Edition) By 3A/Threezero

No. This is not the heroic Autobot leader, Optimus Prime. He just has one of those faces.
Joining the lineup of the 3A/Threezero DLX Scale Collectible Figure Series comes a Limited Edition figure of the nefarious Nemesis Prime. Don't let this evil doppelganger slip through your fingers, limited quantities available through HasbroPulse.

The DLX line focuses on precise design work at a smaller scale with high articulation and high detail. Each DLX figure utilizes a unique metal-frame which not only enhances the range of articulation, it greatly increases its weight and durability to provide an incredible in-hand feel. Together with Threezero’s detailed paint applications, attention to detail, and high-quality production each DLX figure is a work of art.
Includes: One Ion Blaster, Four Pairs of Interchangeable Hands: Fists & Relaxed & Spread & Weapon Holding, One Left Command Hand, One Action Stand with Base
FEATURES:
• Limited Edition of 1000 Worldwide
• Officially Licensed by Hasbro

The Bumblebee movie Optimus Prime design has caused quite a stir since it debuted in the Bumblebee film back in 2018, and we have had the pleasure of getting both a transforming Studio Series toy and a prior Deluxe ThreeZero figure of this design. This new take by ThreeZero is a larger and even more premium version of their original deluxe Optimus Prime, featuring a diecast metal frame, over 140 points of articulation, and it stands an impressive 19 inches tall (so on par with Combiner Wars Devastator in terms of height, and certainly it will be heavier).
While we only have the 1 teaser picture provided by ThreeZero, we will certainly see more images and get more information soon.
Check out the teaser below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!
