Thanks, that's the idea at this point. We have had images but some extra info and feedback could help some users to decide to get into this line or not. Bests!

Finally, some shots next to his "friend" Megatron. The LED eyes are a great touch for display.

Extra weapons and gimmicks. Optimus doesn't come with as many extras as Megatron, but he comes with what you need for a Prime. Yolopark make it easier for you to reach to the light LED unit and place the battery, since the head had not screws, all parts just snap by pressure.

The blaster even got some rusty parts on it. No LED lights here, but it does come with the magnet which activated the light up eye gimmick.

You algo get a small G1 Megatron gun. He's just a bit smaller than I think it should be, but it works well thanks to the articulated hands. The fingers can hold it like a real hand.

The Energon axe is another classic Prime weapon. Just pop out any hand and connect it via a ball socket.

The stand is the same as Megatron's but with an Autobot insignia in the base. It works well for what it is.

Awesome pics! Props for the great shots and insights.

Poseability is top and superb fun. The advantage of not being a transformable figure.
Shoulders got a great butterfly articulation, but it only bends forward. Head is attached via a ball socket but it can move almost in every direction.

Double elbows, double knees, and double hips let you get really dynamic poses, pretty stable indeed.

Special mention to the ab-crunch articulation. Being able to bend while keeping the chest doors, and the cartoon proportions is really something I really appreciate. Optimus can be posed ready to throw a Dempsey Roll!

Robot mode got communication screens on both of his arms, but no images are present. Hands are sure smaller and better proportioned than the ones in AMK Pro Megatron. There's also a correction here with the fingers' tolerances which were too stiff in some copies. Finger in the new batch are firm but easy to bend.
You can't have a Prime without a Matrix chamber! Matrix connects firmly. You may need the help of a small stick to remove it once attached.

There was an issue with some of the first batch copies with feet which couldn't sit flat. Yolopark took care of it with a correction in the factory, and now feet sit properly. If you had this issue in your copy, contact Yolopark after-sales email at [email protected].
Here some pics which show the new feet tooling next to the "non flat" feet thanks to @Liege Prime

Feet of the second batch now have got no issues at all.

OK, some in-hand images and info about this action figure. One of your best alternatives for a cartoon-accurate Optimus Prime action figure. You notice that Yolopark improved some points compared to Megatron.
Assembly is pretty easy and smooth. Parts connect easier than with Megatron and if feels a really intuitive build. The two gray pieces sides of the torso are not indicated in the instructions, but you can attach them even after finishing building it.
Robot mode has got all the cartoon style and proportions. You wouldn't believe the rusty deco works so well with him and Megatron. Paint is shiny and looks very nice under natural light.

Received my AMK Megatron and Optimus direct from Yolopark… finally lol. The Optimus seems to have fixed toes and looser fingers. They feel like they won’t sheer off.
I’m probably going to paint both of their eyes using gundam markers. Cool they can light but but they are both just dead as of now.
and as for my opinion, totally worth the money. Paint is amazing. Optimus’ feet stink just a bit. You really need to pull down on the heel to stabilize him.

Cool to see we have non-transformable G1 Primes at different price points.

Not a single regret picking up either of them!
With bigger boys this time. View attachment 30361693

Optimus has shipped
I’m so happy.
now the longest week in my life begins.
Watching tracking as I eagerly wait.

I appreciate Boss Bot designs that can pull off being cute. View attachment 30360602
VVa
Exactly! I like the way MDLX does it in a reasonable way and doesn't give them abnoxious propotions like some of Flame Toys offerings, IMO.
Rob
I like what MDLX are doing with their car parts. BB, Jazz, and Sideswipe seem to be taller than the cars they transform into and thus have the car parts kind of hang off them like small armor plates on a much larger mech.
I think it works well, it makes them conceprually impossible to transform as you can't tuck the mech within the car shell, but looks great and it's not like they transform anyway.
VVa
Hmm, yeah. Model sheets comfirm it. View attachment 30360442Not sure if I totally like it.
I think Bee's small car roof on the RED somewhat seems reasonable next to AMK Prime's truck tiddies.
Rob
Yes the scale is really good. With that said I do get VVa's point. Look I'm a big scale guy, but it is totally weird when Prime TOWERS over Bee and the other car bots, especially during story telling in media.
On the other hand, I also find it distracting when Bee's car details, like wheels, are the same size as Prime's. This is usually more distracting with complex designs, like in live action.
RodimusRex
Yeah. He's about right for Sunbow scale with the 8" Optimus.
VVa
Uhh, you mean the Minis? View attachment 30360228

Isn't the Yolopark non Pro model kit Bee about the right size?
VVa
Huh, I looked at the box, and it seems like we're getting a Bumblebee and Grimbo.View attachment 30360220
We aren't gonna see them any time soon, which is fine. But I wonder how tall Bee will…be.
Because AMK Prime looks decent next to R.E.D. Bee, View attachment 30360221But some will think that he's too big.
Though I don't think YP will abide by Sunbow scale because Bee is stupidly small in that show. Another reason I don't think he'll be small is because literally no other 3rd Party has ever made Bee as small as many think he should be. My proof is here.View attachment 30360222DLX and debatably MDLX Bee are much too big compared to their respective Primes. Even YP did this similar size with their ROTB AMK line.View attachment 30360225
