XM Studios Premium Collectibles Generation 1 Optimus Prime And Starscream Statues

THE-TRANSFORMER

Cape, Crown and hand holding Megatron can all be removed/swapped out with alternate parts.

Is this 100% confirmed then?
Whohooo! that's awesome!! thanks a lot for the update 

Glorious  

It is definitely great to have the cape as an added bonus (the details of the cape are exquisite, btw), but I wonder, will the cape be removable…?

Actually, it looks a little bit weird to have Starscream with Megatron AND the cape at the same time (one would assume that Megatron would kill Starscream (or viceversa) before Starscream would ever have the opportunity to wear royal regalia aka crowned Decepticon king/leader)…A little bit weird to see cape/crown + Megatron gun on Starscream at the same time  

It would be perfect if in addition to the cape we had an extra arm without Megatron, so that it could be displayed either as:

– Standard SS: no cape + megatron
– King SS: cape / crown (no Megatron..presumed death… )

Too many country (shipping) restrictions… 
A real shame for such a magnificent piece!

XM Studios has put their Starscream statue up for pre-order.

It can be ordered here for certain regions.

"XM Studios is excited to present our next Transformers Premium Collectibles series statue, Starscream! The treacherous, shrewd and cunning Decepticon is immortalized in amazingly detailed 1:10 scale cold-cast porcelain. Each painstakingly handcrafted statue is individually hand-painted with the famous XM quality finish. Crafted from scratch, every nut, bolt and wire is lovingly designed and sculpted ground up by a team in mad love with the Transformers G1 era of cartoons. Inspired by one of our childhood favorite 80s cartoon, we took the G1's iconic form design and XMized them with modern details, to better fit in today's expectations of sophisticated robotry designs. We have spared no effort and designing these original pieces took our core team almost 2 years, resulting in an amazing balance of retro beauty with a sleek modern details. What's a transformer without it's alternate mode? Yes, this statue comes with a companion statue, the iconic Jet Fighter mode so collectors can enjoy the beauty of both bot and alternate mode at the same time! Megatron beware, high flier spotted!

XM Studios"

He's a whopper in size and price but is very impressive. Their Optimus Prime is set for an October Delivery.

Big blocky boring mess starscream looks like transformer with gundam body parts, Optimus very blocky for movie version unrealistic as bay said he wanted his bots to look realistic looking in interview when first movie was released these are cartoon comic designs you like these stick with comics and cartoons with bad comedy in cartoons, you want realism if you where to see transformer standing in front of you today watch live action movie 

because it's impossible to make something look "realistic" but stay true to the source material…

truthfully, the farther this franchise goes, and the more others ala Marvel come along, there was really never any excuse for how absurdly and ridiculously off-model they went with the movie-verse, short of the movie side getting better royalties and points on the merchandise since they "created" the designs.

These statues on the other hand: While it's nice that you can at least tell that they are the characters they are supposed to represent, they are way to overdone and glitchy for my tastes. Some cool details to be sure, but also just a lot of "noise" (which starts putting you into the same realm of problematic as the live action movies)

Some CG renders of the Starscream statue. Both robot and Alt-Mode.

Still absolutely adore the Optimus statue, but the Starscream one doesn't do it for me. It has elements of things I like, but ultimately, I love that Optimus looks like he came from an actual vehicle. Starscream….Does not. He's way more anime in the design approach, with blatantly made up parts that don't match any kind of real life jet. And that's one hell of a shame after how good their Optimus was.

Personally, I love the work involved in creating these statues, and if I can afford them, I won't hesitate to buy! but still, I must admit the design could have been better for the price.
For instance, why does Starscream have thrusters on his back AND his heels? (how many thrusters do you need, really..he transforms into a jet for goodness sake, not a space shuttle…and being G1, just put them on his heels and move on!). The chasis lines leave much to be desired (especially the chest+cockpit region), his face does not scream "starscream" (just barely)..that's not his expression at all…If you want G1, and call it "G1" (i.e , designed to attract G1 fans) then please make it truly *G1*, without adding superfluous extras. A shame that another opportunity has been missed to create *the* G1 Starscream I always wanted…

But fine, yes, I admit it, I'm a perfectionist and small details are extremely important to me…but oh well! still. I admit they are true works of art, and overall still quite stunning (and I better start saving if I am to get one for 2000 SGD + shipping!).

i want to see Josh Nizzi\'s Transformers Age of Time statues.

Can I order the bases only?
