Japanese Hobby magazine Dengeki Hobby has some new images of the forthcoming Ultimetal Optimus Prime figure. This fully licensed piece by Action Toys is a huge, non-transforming Generation 1 Optimus Prime, with Matrix, moving faceplate, and removable armor to show the inner workings of Optimus Prime’s body. It’s expected to retail for 78,000 yen, due out next year. The magazine scans come to you via ToysDaily.
But that’s not all – some very sharp, hi-res new images of the figure have also been posted on Artstorm’s website. These sharp new images show off Ultimetal Optimus Prime in all his glory – be sure to check them out!

Yeah, but I'd get an Optimus cab done by Fewture this size. Even Auto-art or Mini-champs.

anyone with this figure know the width from tip of gun barrel to elbow in a pose as below… was gonna start my display box and wanted to better estimate the dimensions… it looks to approach 24inches

So it's now Jan 2015…. where the heck is it….
magnum703
Is it here yet?…. Is it here yet?….
SurlyJ
Yup. To me this is an articulated statue.
puma
THIS. ha.

I just read this entire thread. I'm so sad I missed out on the pre order from that hk site….. Sigh
Blue Meanie
It's also 3 times the height of MP10
SurlyJ
Yeah I don't particularly care that it doesn't transform. I like Optimus Prime, not truck cabs.
magnum703
They say… This thing just looks like the mp10 but bigger, no need for such a figure. It's NONE transformable, forget it! Things like that…
To me it looks one hell of a figure. Heck, I have mp01, mp04 and mp10. I don't ever transform them lol.
Hopefully they ACTUALLY push it out this 3rd quarter. Who knows, they could keep delaying it month by month by month…
SurlyJ
Yes I believe they are. But it's also not too delayed. It was said to be 3rd quarter. A While ago and it will be 3rd quarter all month. I'm excited for it. I've sold off all my TFs so I have been Optimus-less for several months, specifically in anticipation of this being the only one I will need.
So curious to see how the voice and mouth feature works.
supervir2
I'm glad I'm not the only one waiting on this. The wait has dampened my enthusiasm quite a bit, but I'm sure seeing it in hand will change that. Are delays w/ this company typical?
SurlyJ
Really? Based on what… the zero in hand pics we've seen, or perhaps Fewture's ridiculously amazing work on other large diecast pieces?
puma
They do that to make themselves feel better because they can't afford nice things.
magnum703
I'm surprised to still see a few of us pre-order this thing cuz on every single thread people are bashing this ultimetal to peices…
puma
Anime Export says September. So we'll see. Would love to ship this with the Wheeljacks i ordered.
