Kotobukiya Bishoujo Series Transformers Convoy/Optimus Prime In-Hand Images

under Generation 1, Japanese Transformers, Non-Transforming

The new Kotobukiya Bishoujo Series Transformers Convoy/Optimus Prime has just been released in Japan and we can share for you our first in-hand images of this statue.

We have clear shots of this original anime-girl rendition of Optimus Prime (revealed together with Megatron), designed by artist Shunya Yamashita, thanks to twitter users @kumakomagoma (who shared comparison shots next to MP-44 Optimus Prime), @tobihira, @uDMO3dQwZhYwsOx, @77mgu_namoji  and @ruibee0127 (first look at the packaging). A very nice detail and finishing on this statue for sure.

See all the mirrored images after the jump and let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Really wishing they'd announce more of these. I'd love a Starscream and Jazz. Looking forward to Bumblebee whenever she comes out.

Just got an email from BBTS stating that the Megatron statue should be arriving soon. :D 

Me too. Got my email last night.

Looks mostly very nice. Not at all impressed with the base which is completely warped. Can I fix this with heat? I don't think it's quite like fixing a miniature.

Try contacting your retailer for a figure swap. My copy had a minor paint blemish on her chest, and AmiAmi was willing to exchange my figure and even paid for the return shipping. Apparently, you’re paying for quality control when you buy +100 USD pvc figures.

At mods, maybe an update to transfer to TF toys/related merch section already instead of rumors??

Threads pretty much never get moved unless they were in the wrong sub-forum to start with.

Just got the ship notice from deepdiscount for Optimus. $120 shipped after using one of their readily available coupon codes, definitely the cheapest place for this.

Megatron just came today for me from AmiAmi, so hopefully yours isn't too far off.

Mine arrived today. Presidents' Day. And then she blew up the statue of Abraham Lincoln and took his chair…

Wanted to thank you for the recommendation of AmiAmi. I decided to look at it again and get a shipping quote. With the exchange rate, it came to just about the same as my BBTS order, and I could be sure it was actively in stock and not going to be perpetually delayed or never delivered like prior Bishoujo statues from them have been. I am now in possession of my own Optimus Fine and awaiting delivery of Legatron.

Anyone select SAL postage from AmiAmi and has it shipped yet? I preordered and I'm still waiting for it to ship.

It is:
S=Sea
A=Air
L=Land

On the cheapside so slower.

:thumb  Amiami also allows you to accumulate points which you can use to get discounts off your next purchase. For your Bumble bee perhaps? Enjoy!

Just using amiami's EMS rates

https://support.amiami.com/hc/en-us/articles/11212135920153-Parcel-EMS-shipping-rate-charts

KY Kentucky right? 4th zone, around 1.5 to 2.0 kg, I'm doing rough guesstimate so around Y 7900 shipping converted at current exchange rate so US$ 59.78

You can also contact them with their chat option.

I hope this helps.

Waiting for Megatron to release to get both preorders from hobby-genki. Even with shipping, they were cheaper there than ordering from BBTS or TFSource.

Looks like Megatron is released now, just got an email from Hobby-genki that my preorder for both has shipped.
