We have some very promising news from Threezero. Via their official Weibo account, they have revealed the prototypes of their upcoming DLX Revenge Of The Fallen Optimus Prime And Jetfire.
Threezero have impressed us with their top quality DLX non-transforming action figures and we can say that these two figures are worth of every fan attention. The image show a ROTF Optimus Prime color protype next to a big Jetfire gray prototype. Both look as if they were taken out from the film. But there’s more than meet the eye here. According to the information shared in the Weibo post these figures, while not transfoming, would be able to combine into Jetpower Optimus Prime.
We still have no additional information about these figures, but stay tuned with TFW2005 for more updates. Nos click on the bar to see the mirrored image of the prototypes and then sound off your impressions on the 2005 Board!

The proportions seem to be based on the previous Premium Scale Prime is what I have been thinking.

Is it my impression or his feet are a bit too long compared to the cgi model? That thing between the toes should be shorter so the toes surpass it? I know it's a dumb detail, I was just looking to my MPM, cgi model and 3A photo and thought it

For tax, it depends on your state. FL used to not have online tax.
For shipping, Sideshow is just kinda ridiculous at $24ish per figure. Most places offer free shipping at over $150. That said, Sideshow rewards offset that cost. My DLX TLK Bee is free, whenever it comes out.

Don't we pay those stuff in any store?
Damn if they are going to make more Baybots at this scale I really hope they make Starscream and Blackout asap (or any other movie 1 Cons cast. Rotf Soundwave and dotm Shockwave would be cool too)

If you’re okay with paying tax and shipping, Sideshow always gets Threezero stuff first.

Does anybody know what's the best place to preorder that gets their new upcoming stock in quick?

I think I'm gonna wait for the DOTM Optimus. I think this one is meant to combine. I prefer the sexy abs over the granpa Jetfire.

The head does look abit small, really hope they tweak that. But atleast the size head isn't near as bad as MPM4's head proportions, his was tiny.

Honestly I can barely see any different

They still need to apply the chrome paint and maybe a bit of fine details here and there. The feet are still larger than they should be (the front part).

Optimus is fine. He's not perfect either but it's not really stuff you would notice unless if you really nitpicked it side by side. Overall he's a lot skinnier and lanky in the movie. He has super thin legs and arms.
For the figure they kind of bulked him up, which I actually like. They most likely did it so that the limps don't snap while being articulated and are also able to hold the weight of the Jetfire Prime parts when combined.
His head can be bigger as well.

I would have MUCH preferred to buy 3 figures instead of 4 figures to display one of each. They sacrificed too much on Jetfire for a combination gimmick that is purely a cash grab. Jet power Prime should have been a separate figure. Especially if there is going to be left over Jetfire parts…
DoctorAlgy
Does anybody know how movie accurate is base Prime specifically? I know that Jet Prime needs minor tweaks and Jetfire is abit rough.

I can definitely understand the sentiment, but I think it's really cool that they managed to incorporate an element of transformation into these figures. I wouldn't have ordered them otherwise.
Optimistic Prime
They all look fantastic! It's too expensive for me to get Jetfire as well as Optimus, but I can get Optimus by himself. I'm glad they toned down the weathering as others have said.
iOnlyEatEnergon
He's a full figure but I say 3/4 because he took a bit hit in accuracy due to needing to be a combiner for Optimus. I said it since the very start but I still would have preferred if they just did 3 separate figures. Jetfire, Optimus and Jetfire Optimus.
I'm still amazed at what they were able to acomplish but I just look at Jetfire and it kind of makes me sad that he was sacrificed a bit in order to be a combiner asset.
This custom figure is the kind of treatment I wanted Jetfire to have (minus the less accurate face).
GrimlockPrime19
I didn't compare with the cgi model. Is he this inaccurate?
DoctorAlgy
In my opinion, it was a bad move on their part to degrade Jetfire into a mere upgrade kit which now of course leads to missing figure details. The essential details are all there but since this doesn't transform, we need 110% movie accuracy, no less.
Why not simply release all 3 as separate standalone figures. No combine gimmick, no movie accuracy compromises.

And has more articulation points then prime. Thats indeed a full figure
