Via Radd Titan On YouTube we have our first look at the color samples of the impressive XM Studios G1 Optimus Prime & Megatron Busts.
These pieces were on display at XM Studios concept store in Singapore. While still recognizable as the G1 characters, each bust feature a very stylized design, bringing a fresh modern look of the Autobot and Decepticon commanders. As we had seen before, these busts as big as a real human torso with a detailed display base.
See all the images, as well as a video of each bust, after the jump. Then sound off on the 2005 Boards!

For comparison purposes, have this beauty sitting next to me and it came in at "only" $1,500:
Venom Life-Size Bust

At $4k… I’m out.

Whelp, now on XM Studios website for the low, low cost of $4K USD (PRIOR to shipping). I know these things are massive, even relative to typical 1:1 scale humanoid busts, but don't see how they can justify the costs for polystone. Busts in this price range typically incorporate silicone to emulate skin. These things are also going to weigh close 200 pounds . . .
I don't see these doing well at all.

No interest in busts, however I love the look of Hot Rod. I don't recall seeing a finished version of that?
I have the full prime statue, XM do superb work, with super high quality.

Resting mech face.
Tekkaman Blade
He doesn't have lips, I think your confusing his teeth with lips.
Afterburner
Optimus looks really great, and Megatron does too – except those lips. WTF are those lips?
LeonSteamhawk
I'd be mad too if someone removed my limbs and turned me into a statue.
Well that or screaming in agonizing pain.
jtanimator
Prime looks furious, megatron looks happy.
makes perfect sense.
on a serious note though, these are definitely not for me. I love the idea, but they\'ve managed to pull off one of the ugliest Optimus and megs designs I\'ve seen tbh.

You could say the same thing about people who care about scale or cartoon accuracy, or a ton of other things that some people care about but not others. The symbols look different, some people prefer for them to have the proper symbols, why would other peoples preferences bother you?
Cardion
Why does Prime look sooooooo angry?
dragon
Megaton looks nice his face have to many panels I look at mouth he look like samurai waiting remove mouth plate .,
prime face plate looks weird looks removable it stands out on his face
It’s probably another fan who said in all other movie and statue topics this how they should look in movies thank you who cares how they look transformers change in time and adapt to environment fans should do same with movies they have with cartoons
they are big and will expensive maybe half size has to unicorn I’m guessing size small screen tv
Requiem Prime
Those look very big. And even if it is the style, it looks a bit weird to have the shoulders.
Senator Magnificus
After seeing Megs smirk, I know now my worst nightmares won't ever phase me again.
Black Convoy
There's a Megatron bust video on the channel too.

84OptimusPrime
I was all in on the the first unpainted photos I saw. I thought it was going to be accurate to the G1 toon. I am not a fan of the more “stylized” version.
I still plan to purchase but…
…Would have been much happier with this head:
