Artist Emiliano Santalucia has share a color sample of the upcoming Pop Culture Shock Small Scale (10″) G1 Optimus Prime Statue.
The image was shared via Emilano Santalucia’s Facebook and, while it’s just Optimus Prime torso, we are sure you will like the great cell shaded finishing and amazing cartoon colors of this incarnation of the Autobot leader. This is such a great team work with the body designed by Emiliano Santalucia; sculpting by Peer Grazellka Brauner, Painting by LEK Custom Toys , art direction by Emiliano and Pop Culture Shock Collectibles, Inc, Ant Adams and Jerry Macaluso. Emiliano had also teased renders of the upper body of Optimus Prime statue before.
Back in last November, we broke the news regarding Pop Culture Shock acquiring Hasbro License to manufacture statues based on Transformers Franchise. You can expect cartoon accurate statues of iconic characters from G1 cartoon. We are looking forward to see the final product, which we are sure will please many fans.

Its funny how I despise the cartoon aesthetic in the MP line but as a statue? I'm there.

I am most excited. I can't wait 2-4 days now well have that information and pics. It's gonna be like when Takara showed off MP-09 Rodimus Convoy isn't it? Where they have it on a table in front of crowd with some close up cameras too.

I got so many notifications it's possible I got confused. I'm not able to have time to read to find out atm. But that IS a good question

Can never have too many Optimuses/Optimi!
And oh, don't worry, version 3.0 is coming (and we'll be drooling over him this weekend)! I was just teasing JoeHavok for refusing to believe it existed, haha.

But why are you talking about OP v3.0 in this thread? V3.0 already has its own thread. If you don't like non-transformable statues then just skip this one altogether.

1st off, well put on your reply about the 2, so far in production, Masterpiece Optimus Primes.
Next …what do u mean a hoax? God I hope not I've never wanted a Transformer more then I've wanted Cartoon accurate Optimus Prime. And I'm talking about always looking for the better version. (I'm digging the DX9 Prime too!)

You were saying?

He looks straight out of the Devastation game. Too bad we can't get a transforming figure with level of awesome cel shading.

I really like the look of this and think it is priced well. Definitely would consider buyng it, but it's not available for another 12 months Why such a long delay??!!

Still can’t unsee the mustache.

MP-01 will always be spectacular. I'd probably say he's the better robot (those pistons!! So cool) while MP-10 is the better overall transformer, with a much more successful alt mode. But I love them both! And yeah, they're both way more interesting than a non-transformable statue.
Will be fun to add MP Convoy 3.0 to the family and see how he stacks up. Speaking of which…
That is some climate change denier-level stubbornness right there. The rest of us will be ogling the pics of Optimus 3.0 from the Tokyo Toy Show this weekend… but be careful, it's probably a hoax.

Not feeling it, the hips totally ruin it for me, but the arms seem disproportionately small and the cell shading look kinda overdone and tacky ~ i get what they were going for, but in trying to make it look like cheap animation… it looks like cheap animation.
the torso, lower legs and head are nice enoughly sculpted.

Awesome product!

I think it looks OK and I'm not into statues at all. But the base clashes with the rest. It should be either cell-shaded or made to look like a painted cartoon background. Or like those light grid backgrounds from the G1 packaging and the cartoon openings.
dCon
Not very. I'd probably #### someone if they took my 200 + uhaul boxes of Transformers. I'd hunt them down and get them back. But my.family didnt make it easy that's for sure. I am a naturally understanding guy but don't #### with my toys yaknowhaimean?
