Asia exclusive die cast Optimus Prime figurine

Transformers Asia have revealed that like Masterpiece Grapple, Masterpiece Inferno will be coming with a die-cast figurine when he is released in Asia. Where Grapple comes with an Ultra Magnus, Inferno is set to come with a non-transformable, unpainted die-cast figurine of Optimus Prime himself. There is an image of the box that the Optimus Prime comes in – a nice window box for display, no less. The box is labelled as #1, suggesting that this and Ultra Magnus are just the first in what will potentially be a whole series of collectible die-cast figurines being given away alongside Masterpiece releases in the Asian market.

According to the press blurb, Season 3 (or Season 2.5 as named in Canada) will run every Saturday from 5th November to 10th December indicating a short “Season” with 6 Episodes.

  • Season 1 – 26 Episodes
  • Season 2 – 13 Episodes
  • Season 2.5/3 – 6 Episodes

However, RID Fans should be happy to note that dubbing still continues indicating possible future episodes or seasons. We are expected to hear an official announcement somewhere around mid-October.

Based on several info revealed through one of Hasbro’s Investor Calls, Hasbro is planning for a Special TV Event this Fall in United States.

Sofubi Optimus 01

The Transformers license for collectibles continues to expand as companies Milk and Soap Studios have joined forces to create a white and clear plastic vinyl Optimus Prime figure! A bit of an oddity, but a cool one nonetheless, as this Prime features an upper body made of clear plastic and the lower half of milk white plastic, sporting black decals and eyes for contrast. As a vinyl statue, this Optimus unfortunately can’t transform.

Release date and pre-orders have yet to come out, but he’s to be priced at 1,080 yuan (approximately $160 USD). Check out the pics from ToyznHobby after the jump!
