Several new higher end international figures have gone live for pre-order globally recently so we wanted to round em up here.  Tonight, Threezero’s MDLX Nemesis Prime repaint hits US retailers officially as a Previews exclusive version.  They also recently dropped the MDLX Megatron.   In addition, US retailers are taking orders for the Takara-Tomy Transformers x Canon bots, Refraktor and Optimus Prime.  These are real life Canon R5 camera designs in alt mode, transforming into the respective bots – focus being on the camera mode first of course.

Taking an in-hand look at the recent Premium Scale release from ThreeZero for Transformers Bumblebee Optimus Prime.  This is the larger size line, not to be confused with the also-awesome DLX scale figures which are smaller in scale and price.  Premium are the big boys, meant to be centerpieces of your display.  He faithfully represents Optimus’ look from the 2018 Bumblebee movie, in both his Cybertron and Earth modes due to interchangeable parts.  Lights are present in the eyes and the blaster, plus he sports 140 (yes, 140) points of articulation.  Every part is touched with high end paint and weathering, so he looks like he popped right off the screen and is sitting in front of you once in hand.

This is a review copy (thanks to ThreeZero for sending it through), so things may change a bit for final release.  Optimus should be shipping soon, with expected delivery dates in Q3 2022 (though that can change).  If you are still on the fence with him, some of our sponsors below still have him available to order.

Walmart Collector Con is live for day 1, with a lot of items being made available and immediately selling out or not showing up in search results, even an hour later.  We’ll try to round up what we can below so you can check back in a search for stock.  If you want to torture yourself, hit their main page and refresh non stop until you can find what you want, then be angry it’s sold out.

In addition, Hasbropulse has some of the Hasbro items available as well available for Premium members. That went smoothly for me here, so thank you Hasbro.

Taking a quick look today at Threezero‘s DLX scale Transformers The Last Knight Bumblebee.   This is a smaller version of their Premium scale offering coming in at 9 inches tall with a die cast frame, LED lights in the eyes, and 60+ points of articulation.  It keeps on with the high end feel of previous DLX figures, the new smaller package compared to Premium, and smaller price.  We’ve had him in hand a bit, but IRL things has our galleries on a bit of a delay.  He’s now shipping and some folks already have him in hand.  Some retailers are still awaiting stock, so there is time to get your orders in if you dig him.  We’ll let the pics and forum discussion speak for themselves, but bottom line – another fantastically executed piece for those looking to rep the movies in physical form on their shelves, where transformations aren’t the primary concern.

Read on to check out our set of over 45 HD images courtesy of Threezero.  Hit our sponsors below to check for stock.  Stay tuned after SDCC for our in-hand shots of DLX Jetfire and Premium BB Optimus.
