Megatron's face looks really cartoony.

I don\'t want to miss a piece of Beast Wars merch but with Prime 1\'s TM2 Megatron coming out I can only afford it or those two DS statues. I\'m going with P1 because I already have both prior BW statues they\'ve done.

Excited to add these to the collection!

Weird how Primal looks so badass but Megatron came out kind of goofy looking and overly cartoonish. They failed with the tiny teeth in Primal's open mouth as well and I don't like that they swapped out the white for silver.
These are probably acceptable budget alternatves to the Prime 1 statues but, stylistically, they aren't doing for me. I'm glad we're seeing fairly faithful representations of the show models with al these new BW products though. I just hope the movie has the decency and common sense to also give us recognisable iterations of those characters' designs before they mutilate their personalities.

Dang it would have been cool if these would have been PVC statues like the ones you see at Walmart.

This is Exhibit A of why Prime shouldn't have a "split" faceplate… if you pose him with an open-mouth scream, he just looks like he has a beak!
"Polly wants the freedom of all sentient beings! SQUAAAAWWWKKK!!!"

Those statues are excellent for their size and price point. I already have the P1 statues, so they're a pass for me, however I hope they do more G1, to go with their Galvatron statue.

OMG STOP MAKING FIGURES OF DEAD OPTIMUS

Okay, not really feeling the statues personally, not to mention I don’t have the space for them. The little mini guys though? They’ve got this odd charm that’s caught my attention. And at $30 for the set?

The Primal sculpt looks pretty good but not liking the colors so much. The Megatron statue is goofy looking. Those had to have been different artists.
solarstorm
Honestly not feeling those statues. Yeah, they’re detailed, but primal is overly done. Both of them were done more accurately by the MPs. That primal looks like the Kingdom one.
Requiem Prime
Well that setup is a mood. G1 bots lamenting Optimus between titan sized Primal and Pred Megs blasting each other.

Oof. Gotta pass then lol.
lord ginrai
They're $400.

Depending on price, I might buy those statues. Especially Megatron’s.

That Minimate Ultra Magnus will looks great next to my SD Myclone UM. Can't wait to get him.
Novaburnhilde
While those statues clearly aren't Prime 1 quality, they're still quite cool. Though I wish the base Megatron's has looked as cool as Primal's does.
TM2 Dinobot
Those look great!
