Thanks to the Facebook pages of Hobby Ark, Robo Robo, and Planet Iacon (and autobase aichi for the alt mode shots), we have our first look at Studio Series Ironhide! A very under the radar release, Ironhide seems to have started dropping overseas in Singapore. Various Facebook users were also kind enough to share in-hand images and comparisons, giving us a good look at the Autobot weapon specialist who seems to be a wave 3 voyager repacked with Optimus Prime. He comes with his signature pair of arm cannons (a bit bigger than the last retail Ironhide figure) and appears to be a new mold altogether! According to comparison shots however, he may be on the smaller end of the voyager scale to better match the scale of the rest of the line.
No release date or pre-order info has been released at this time, but stay tuned for more info and be sure to check out the pics after the jump!

Thanx everybody for the input! It would seem that the original voyager or mpm is The " correct real life scale"-option
CobraKai
It is. I’ve seen the front end used with box trucks. I think the fact that it’s a pick up makes its size deceptive. Almost like a street legal truck shouldn’t be that big
Shmoptimus Prime
Sorry, but it looked like you were arguing the complete opposite, because you chose a shot where IH looks small compared to the truck. Anyway, glad you agree. The Topkick is huge for a pickup.

I was trying to show how it was big compared to the Peterbilt, guess I chose a bad shot.
Shmoptimus Prime
Are you kidding? Optimus is way ahead of them in that shot. Not a good comparison.

The GMC Topkick is HUGE. The cab is almost as big and tall as a semi. Look up the real truck on google.

He was seen here in decent numbers last Christmas.

Based on emgos video, to me this doesnt seem good.
Shmoptimus Prime
I don’t, but I can tell you he’d be way way too small. MPM Ironhide scales well with MPM Prime.

Does anyone have altmode comparison pics with SS ironhide and Mpm4 Op?

I saw him twice, the first one I bought. Great figure.
I saw Jazz show up at walmarts herr in Canada again, so maybe they are releasing more.

Entirely possible on all fronts… More on that in a sec.
Agreed. I think I saw him *once* maybe twice (and that's really, really pushing it) and never again. I got mine from Megalopolis. That said, while this is most likely a lost find (possible, entirely possible) it's also possible it is another run. IF it's another run and they're trying to get it out to people, now, the timing of such a thing AS the 3rd party kit is coming out is at least suspect, if nothing else.

His release in general was pretty bad. He was only on Amazon for a short time near the end of the year, way after his "release", then they never seemed to restock from what I saw. He wasn't widely available for MSRP other places for very long either from what I saw.
NemesisJazz
I wonder if its a new production run or just overstocks from somewhere else. Glad hes out, hes one of the best. Heck id even buy another version of him if they make one
TFXProtector
Anyone else find it remotely odd that Amazon just so happens to have cases of Ironhide JUST as D.N.A.'s kit (which fixes a lot of the issues naysayers complained about) after months of him being a no show, pretty much everywhere? I wouldn't be surprised if he starts showing up at other online retailers. I just find the timing odd considering we're almost a full year away from his release?

Yeah true, Prime should’ve been a bigger voyager class
NemesisJazz
Too big? Or is Prime too small? He is perfect for a voyager for his transformation and bulk. Prime is a tad too small.

He’s a cool figure, but scale wise he’s a little too big. Probably should have been a deluxe.
