Via Action Toys Facebook we finally have an update of their UM-03 Ultimetal Megatron.

The new stock images of this impressive non-transforming G1 Megatron action figure reveal several finishing differences from the last images we reported while back in February, 2019. Ultimetal Megatron features a highly detailed G1 sculpt, a lot of die-cast parts, high level of posability (more than 30 articulations points) and several removable panels that let you see the inner part of the Decepticon leader. As we can see from the images, it also features a remote control light-up and sound gimmicks.

This figure stands 17 inches (43.18 cm) tall and it’s expected for release by the second quarter of 2021 for $642.37 approximately.

It’s been a long time since we reported this product in 2014, but it seems it was worth the wait. Check out all the images after the jump and then sound off om the 2005 Boards!
