made an offer on one it was declined and then the seller put the listing up by $50 to $300
got to laugh at some greedy ebay sellers … he won't sell it at that price

no gamestop!! you would think hasbro pulse would have got these in too such a shame these were usa only
thats not the cheapest on ebay I had one in my watch list that was much cheaper but left it too late $138.00 with tax tacked on … but problem there is being in the uk it would have cost over £200 with shipping and import tax added … so just need to bide my time …. paid much less than that for both megatron and soundwave combined

@deathsheadII does Gamestop have overseas shops or ships overseas? Where I bought mine and you can't go wrong with the price…but seems OP is gone, or out of stock. That pro price is crazy, but i'm not a pro
also that megs is cheap too but pickup only…I might have to do that soundwave.

looking for a really good condition one of these optimus helmets , not at the ebay prices ! would prefer uk but if someone in the usa wants to sell one at a reasonable price and able to keep the shipping down I would probably be up for that

My biggest disappointment honestly is it doesn't come with a helmet stand. Which means that I need to go track down some more.

I got mine today, and I can't wear it with the straps. The plastic digs into the sides of my head and it hurts. I can wear it without the straps, but it sits real loose. Kinda disappointed by that.

Feel free to watch my Open Box video of this Awsome helmet.

My wife says “no” not for children…. it was a bit heavy for her when she tried it on. I suppose he could try it on for a few minutes but not to wear.
yeah big change over the the years! Still not perfect… although it is great to see companies working it it!
Once they perfect the head/helmet. I will be first in line for the FULL costume.

hold up, this isn't a 1:1 Optimus Prime head, his head is way bigger than a human head, wotta ripoff

About how heavy is it? Can a 5yr old walk around with it?
Big change over 40yrs

They do it because they think it makes it more "believable." The little nicks and dirt and stuff are meant to distract your eye from the obvious signs that it's not a real giant robot head. It's also why, in the live action movies, they go from perfectly clean and shiny cars to super dinged and dirty robots. A clean cgi robot looks fake. A clean cgi car would look fake as well but they use real cars so that isn't a problem – they haven't found a way to use real giant robots unfortunately.

Geez, not even the helmets can escape battle damage XD (seriously, why is it so hard to make a clean paint job?)

GAUGEMarch 29th 2021, 7:04 amwhy won\'t they ever make helmet for other Transformers it\'s only Prime or BB. sick of it.Why No Megatron, Soundwave or Starscream helmets?So burned out with Prime.
Megatron comes in June. Soundwave was supposed to come in June. But they removed it from their site.

It's hard to say, but it looks mostly like the more square head design of season 2, not quite, but it's definitely not the more rounded season 1 head, which I prefer.
