Via ToysTV YouTube Channel we have images of Threezero Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts DLX Bumblebee, Optimus Prime & Optimus Primal samples for your viewing pleasure.
These are non-transformable high quality action figures featuring a great level of articulation and premium finishing and detail. We have a closer look at ROTB DLX Bumblebee (whose official images were shared recently). his LED light eyes, interchangeable head, accessories and display base.
To our surprise, we also have our first look at a color sample of ROTB Optimus Prime. This figure features an impressive amount of detail and it was shown with his blaster and battle axe. You can display him with or without his faceplate and we can notice that he’s movable pistons and other pieces. To top it all, a gray sample of DLX Optimus Primal was shown too. Optimus Primal looks like a big and bulky robot with movable panels and fur details.
Watch the video presentation of the samples after the jump as well as some screencaps. Let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Well Thunder Leader is just under DLX Prime height so he's likely a tad short.
The Mad Demobot
For those with Bee, how does he stand with TL Prime? Thunder Leader is supposedly 11.5” so I think the size is right. Thinking about getting Bee as not only my ROTB cast, but my “Perfect in my eyes” design vs his 2007 look.

I believe somebody recently posted pics of a beast mode Primal prototype.

There literally only two companies making these ROTB non transformable figs.

I'd get Primal if it was the beast mode (like nearly the entire film). The bot mode is ok. But, it was in the film for like 5 seconds and it's nowhere near as good as the beast mode. Kinda weird for me. I don't like beastformers in general… a robot that changes into another robot makes no sense to me. But Primal's ape mode in the film is just SO well designed and that is pretty much the character… the bot mode lack of screen time and no investment in any kind of facial dialog or even a close up… It's like, this is the wrong version. It would be like if Threezero were only doing the car modes of all the other transformers…

I know it just like when I see the news I just get confused of which 3p non transforming action figures are which

For tfsource, the month ETA has been getting pushed back since November. I hope its soon too. I sold my BB 3Zero Prime to make room for this guy, and for financial reasons at the time.
VVa
TFSource always has dates about things coming in the next month and it's rarely accurate.
Napalm
Ah, right. Interesting that they're still waiting on stock, although it does align with the likes of Kapow over here in the UK receiving theirs this week and next. Possibly shipping backlog from CNY. Tfsource does say March so hopefully not too long for you. He's worth the wait.
Rumblestorm
I pre-ordered from different websites the day pre-orders went live as a failsafe for whichever one gets it first. TFSource, Hasbro Pulse, Entertainment Earth, etc.
Napalm
From..?
Rumblestorm
I pre-ordered months ago when it was announced.
VVa
I see. Are they usually this low stocked? This is my first time skipping a DLX Prime, do you know if it's always been the case for ShowZ to receive small quantities of DLX units?
Napalm
This thread is for the threezero DLX Rise Of The Beasts figures…
..but you're clearly not the only one confused.
Did you preorder from someone or are you waiting for general stock to become available? I know that UK retailers are just getting theirs in.

ShowZ had a small Stock. But only for those who paid already. I received 2 Units of Prime in January.
Rumblestorm
ThreeZero came and went, no other retailer has him. All have been stuck on pre-order and keep having the expected release date pushed back.
VVa
Right, right. I should have specified online retailers that aren't TZ themselves. I mentioned ShowZ because they're usually the ones to get their TZ stock a week or two after TZ themselves. At least from experience.
But I'm kinda glad I only stuck with a ROTB Bee, because as much as I like the ROTB Prime design, I think the AMK satisfied me on this Prime design.
Ratchet2007
I have received mines from Threezero directly so is definitely out
VVa
Wasn't he due like, a while ago? I don't even think ShowZ has him.
Rumblestorm
Getting mirage.
But still waiting on ROTB Prime.
