Coming back to this video, Baiwei sure have cleaned up their act since this. The QC issues seem to have been from a certain batch of the figure. There have been 3 revisions since then plus Nemesis and Magnus recolors. Quality seems to be very good now, especially now that Baiwei’s built up a reputation of good quality KO’s with their recent figures. I’m one of the comments at 0:50. And I’ve got the metallic repaint of this on the way to replace the one that broke on me. Update: Metallic version in hand now, and it feels *better* than my SS44. Joints feel nice, plastic feels firm and flexible and not brittle like the V1, and the metallic colors are pure eye candy. The front grille transformation is so smooth compared to SS32/44 that it feels illegal. Would highly recommend checking out the new revisions.
I bought this figure and personally I absolutely love it. Mostly got it for the accessories though. Although I got the one with silver instead of the grey
Be careful when handling deluxe-voyager KO’S as they’re really fragile and something repetitive I’ve found is that the left arm snaps for some reason especially on Optimus ones. May I recommend LS03F?its 100$ with LEDS and much sturdier
Hasbro is re releasing the original Studio Series 44 in the Buzzworthy Bumblebee subline so you could get him if you want a version of this mold that doest suck
Scalpers are just greedy, and see an opportunity when it comes to popular figures. It doesn’t help that the Buzzworthy release of the figure didn’t get many copies put out into Target. Same with the Buzzworthy release of the Grimlock, and the SS 102 Optimus. It’s sad how that wave of Buzzworthy releases got very few copies released to Target; and they still haven’t restocked.
Alright, to shed some light on this, this is v1, it had massive QC issues and chest made out of clear plastic. It sucks, and even though it mostly looks good, it's good only for display. V2 and v3 are much better, actually go through some QC and are built of better plastic. I got v3 and it's pretty solid, I was so happy to actually own an SS32/44 Optimus Prime. Nothing broke yet. I believe Baiwei ain't bad at all. PrimeVsPrime recently reviewed their Ironhide, and I mean, it seems to a beast of a figure. Scalpers can go fuck themselves when there's a knockoff selling for less than $30.
Absolutely agree with you, I got my hands on an EX version (which is the metallic painted one) 2 days ago out of curiosity. It's such an improvement over V1 and feels even better than my official SS44 in some areas (mainly the front grille where the transformation is now extremely smooth and painless). I also got the V1 back when it first came out and well... It wasn't good. (My comment is dead center at 0:50).
It feels like the KO company was given the exact same budget constraints as the original but failed to account for stability and mass production. This explains why some details feel more movie accurate but why excessive clear plastic was used instead
I thought Chefatron was exaggerating with fragility (I only need to say "pencil" and you'll understand why) plus the way he transforms the KO seemed like a gorilla was handling it
He's a knob who didn't do his research. He got the first version of the Baiwei's 1022, when they released 2 more versions of it afterwards, and decided to "boycott" Baiwei. When in reality, V2 and V3 are much better, I owe V3, and even though I've never owned the SS release, I do own many SS figures and Tw-1022 v3 is on par with them. At least the one I got is. Built like a brick, and so far nothing's broken, and I've transformed it quite a few times.
i got the original star leader which is a slight remould of the first studio series prime, it had a loose shoulder and arm kept popping off, luckily i was able to fix those
I two copies of the KO, both arrived without any damage and seem to transform fine. Plastic quality feels a little thinner than official. Die-cast feet are nice, I may try to put them on my official.
That’s crazy. My copy I got for 50 dollars with the weapon kit on Mercari and it’s literally almost perfect. The back canisters did break off but I honestly prefer it without them. Everything else is perfect
man seeing other people get these figure in the defective state, made me feel lucky when i bought this mine was ok nothing damage except for a peg on the pelvis being too big and screws being too loose or too tight
i'm glad to have gotten the studio series premium finish optimus prime. while it may not be the SS32 mold, at least the quality is better and i had tons of fun with him.
For people that dont know, Baiwei is a new company thst resells studio series figures that are sold out and are over 100$, an they make them better, but the octimus is the weakest out of the 3 they remarketed. They took Ironhide and gave him the weapon upgrade kit and gave him foot articulation, and priced him at 35$. This guy is judging to fast. And I have this figure and I have absolutly NO problem with. I stands at my best octimus I have. Like honestly, how didyou get all these problems? You got the worst QC isues and all I got was one blade being molded without removing the peg on it. The fact that you dont know how to not break your toy and that you dont know how to tab everything together.
Okay at 5:48 the panel isn't broken the same thing happens with ss32 and ss44 it's because the grey piece is held in place with friction nubs and they aren't really long enough for the holes
may have a slightly accurate solution look for a bolt that is the same size as the plastic of the broken hand, remove the fracture mark that is still attached then heat the bolt of the same size earlier, stab it into the broken arm slowly and adjust its position and remember to use a bolt that is the same size as the that hinge
Supposedly there’s gonna be a rerun with better quality. There’s also gonna be another one with the trailer and jet wings. For the people who already own this one in decent quality they’re releasing a trailer kit.
when i bought the toy it came in perfect condition but I opened it a bit to quickly because i was excited to get it finally and nothing broke... yet i also lost the two seperate chest peaces but i found them and the were just siting there till i watched this video so thank you for showing me it
The arms both of them and the legs came broken on mine, and when I tried to transform it, every single part was not tapping in place sucks because I love the figure
I got Baiwei repaint of this to Ultra Magnus and I have no problem with plaatic quality. Maybe baiwei makes "ultra magnus" white Star leader with blue flames from better plaatic than Optimus version.
I have a bootleg SS05 optimus prime. it was great out of the box, you could barely tell it's a bootleg, but after some years most of the plastic has become yellow and it looks bad
I have this figure and he has no idea how it works the arms can attach back in place and you can remove it has well to recreate when his arm got ripped by sentinel
I mean, I could imagine like making my own copies of it just more detailed and have better paint and be a knock off, but I would try making a description of what it is about and try to put sketch mark as possible. I could also do it with soundwave as well just making it more G1 accurate so yeah
Man the figures are so fragile that they sent me jetfire + optimus prime protected with so much bubble wrap i thought they were sending me my liver back (it did cost me one)
i got mine a while back. both legs completely snapped off at the hip, and then the torso split in half. i only still have it so i can buy a new one and salvage this hunk of shit for parts
I think you should try buy the smaller version of this. That one came almost exactly 70-80% like the Hasbro's studio series,with at least minimal damage like stress mark,not broken parts,and tighter joints. I got mine and it's pretty ok (not ok lol)
I honestly hope that the SS32 knockoff gets improved because the original SS figure is borderline unobtainable at this point due to the ridiculous prices.
Even tho this figure hav a snapped right arm, it still lookin good, this was accurate to the original movie where sentinel ripoff his arm with his double edge blade
If you get a preorder/earlier ver you might get tight part/loose part ..so nothing can be camplained about since some of the Hasbro's tf also have sh it quality
The figure is aint broken its movie accurate 💀
That's crazy 💀
Jajajaja
💀💀
Crazy
Just put a sental figure and we are guggi

im definetly buying the ex version
it not broken , the figure it based on the ending of dark of the moon
But the way its made
@@rugmastic 🤓
Ermmuh actually his arm is ripped off by the shoulder…🤓
NO OPTIMUS
@@Manjustman_25806 * shoots
Glad my copy wasn't broken. But the die cast feet weighs down the legs which makes it fiddly.
Wish you good luck on yours
God loves y’all
Me to
Yo there is a new version with metal
That used to be my pfp lol
I’m so happy I bought my studio series tf3 Prime when they where still 50 dollars
i wouldn’t call it the worst it’s good lol
My friend has this and he was able to transform it and no broken pieces whatsoever
Just because your friend was able to, that doesn’t mean that this has a massive quality control issue(probably because it’s a knockoff).
@@Megajaybreaker4 that’s not what i meant
i said i wouldn’t call it “The worst”
@@Megajaybreaker4 Just because some people's copy broke, doesn't mean it's widely spread issue.
@@_V.Va_ probably true….
Same with mine, Its not broken at all

i got the original star leader which is a slight remould of the first studio series prime, it had a loose shoulder and arm kept popping off, luckily i was able to fix those
Oh my God you even brought the deformation meme that started because of me lmao
at least you got the dotm prime it's pretty accurate how he lost the arm in the movie
I two copies of the KO, both arrived without any damage and seem to transform fine. Plastic quality feels a little thinner than official. Die-cast feet are nice, I may try to put them on my official.
Hi,three month early i watch this video and yesterday i c baiwei hav a new ironhide (copy of ss Ironhide) figure can you review it?
Mechazee do you test the bumblebee two holes thing for his weapon that you review the regular one and the police version
That’s crazy. My copy I got for 50 dollars with the weapon kit on Mercari and it’s literally almost perfect. The back canisters did break off but I honestly prefer it without them. Everything else is perfect
Fifty?! I got mine for 32!
man seeing other people get these figure in the defective state, made me feel lucky when i bought this mine was ok nothing damage except for a peg on the pelvis being too big and screws being too loose or too tight
i'm glad to have gotten the studio series premium finish optimus prime. while it may not be the SS32 mold, at least the quality is better and i had tons of fun with him.
Out if curiosity, will u review the KO unique toys dragoon?
You mean BMB Sky Breaker? Dragoon isn't a KO.
I have this figure and it’s honestly holding up pretty good, guess I got really lucky and got a good copy compared to a lot of reviews I seen of him
How's it holding up now? I'm tempted to get one
The knock of is good in the transformers Dark of the moon optimus loses his right arm im pretty sure that optimus is from Dark of the moon
this is so innaccurate to what i got snd also anything broken can get put back
it feels great
id recommend it to anyone who can't afford like a hasbro

This reminds me when I broke off the left hand of MP Leo Convoy when I was transforming it... luckily I was able to fix it
Okay at 5:48 the panel isn't broken the same thing happens with ss32 and ss44 it's because the grey piece is held in place with friction nubs and they aren't really long enough for the holes

The Diecast feet really helps weight it down and helps with balance
Supposedly there’s gonna be a rerun with better quality. There’s also gonna be another one with the trailer and jet wings. For the people who already own this one in decent quality they’re releasing a trailer kit.
Funny how when non TH-camrs get this figure, it's good and solid, BUT when toy reviewers get it, It's instantly get broken
This is why you dont trust any other toy reviewer but jobby ngl-
thats a personal bias though
Cool video mechazee reviews
💀bro was going say North Korean 💀
I hade the same broken arm and i just super glue it back 😂
I was waiting for this when I saw the picture in botposting lmao
Yes, I did in fact make a cameo for .5 seconds and yes I did own that cameo. This guy is now my cast mate.
Bro when i bought it it was amazing to action other transformers toys with it fr
And also bt just be gentle and it wont break JUST BE GENTLE
I love the: But first ima go take a sh*t first😂😂😂
‘It’s broke’ the whole time I’m screaming just pop it back on!
Studio Series 44.5: Optimus Prime during the ending of dark of the moon
Now it's look like in Dark Of The moon after it's broken
It's just the ending of DOTM version.
You can use it for a dark if the moon final battle cause if I remember doesn’t he get arm ripped off
olso have a baiwei optimus but the ss05 its great but the left arm is loose but but is quite decent for a knock off
bro it ain’t broken it’s dark of the moon accurate💀💀💀💀☠️
when i bought the toy it came in perfect condition but I opened it a bit to quickly because i was excited to get it finally and nothing broke... yet i also lost the two seperate chest peaces but i found them and the were just siting there till i watched this video so thank you for showing me it
“smooch” jobbythehong reference 😹
The arms both of them and the legs came broken on mine, and when I tried to transform it, every single part was not tapping in place sucks because I love the figure
You probably got the older version the newer ones have a better plastic quality and can tab better in place
When I got mine it also broke on the exact same spot (right swivel bicep) right out of the box 😩
Hey i have a question can the swords attach to the real thing?
Yes since it's still the same mold
I got Baiwei repaint of this to Ultra Magnus and I have no problem with plaatic quality. Maybe baiwei makes "ultra magnus" white Star leader with blue flames from better plaatic than Optimus version.
i got mine a year ago and its so good!
for some reason i got extra weapons like the shield and stuff even though i didnt buy it as separate
Hey man.. can I borrow that back gas thing thats on the left? Mine broke I'm in Philippines
Bro's arm got cut off like slice of pizza on DOTM☠️
I have a bootleg SS05 optimus prime. it was great out of the box, you could barely tell it's a bootleg, but after some years most of the plastic has become yellow and it looks bad
the arm might pop or break off depending on how the driver was driving but its not likely mine hasn't been delivered yet
If you got bootleg Optimus prime studio series 38 is he messed up to because I want that figure
Review the bee move Optimus prime KO i think its called dark commander
The studio series 32 optimus is actually studio series 32 2007 optimus not ss. 32 2009 rotf
I have this figure and he has no idea how it works the arms can attach back in place and you can remove it has well to recreate when his arm got ripped by sentinel
Take shot everytime he says "right over here"
My figure didnt come broken fortunately, even tho poorly packaged (ordered it without a box)
I ordered this in amazon along with in aliexpres a baiwei sentinal prime and baiwei ironhide
I mean, I could imagine like making my own copies of it just more detailed and have better paint and be a knock off, but I would try making a description of what it is about and try to put sketch mark as possible. I could also do it with soundwave as well just making it more G1 accurate so yeah
Can you unboxing the baiwei sentinel prime?
I got this figure for the swords and abs cause I already have ss44 and my star leader didn’t break
how'd you get the limited final battle edition?
I bought it and didn't have the same problems as you, it's perfect for me
QC issues are completely normal for third party figures.
Man the figures are so fragile that they sent me jetfire + optimus prime protected with so much bubble wrap i thought they were sending me my liver back (it did cost me one)
i got mine a while back. both legs completely snapped off at the hip, and then the torso split in half. i only still have it so i can buy a new one and salvage this hunk of shit for parts
the figure on bootleg is 500 but if you go to australia, the cost is 100 in jb-hi fi which is the buzz worthy bumble bee remaster
Should i buy this figure so i can get the blades for my ss 44 optimus
I think you should try buy the smaller version of this.
That one came almost exactly 70-80% like the Hasbro's studio series,with at least minimal damage like stress mark,not broken parts,and tighter joints.
I got mine and it's pretty ok (not ok lol)
could you review the newest metalic version please?!!
Bro i would like to make a diorama with that figure with missing pieces and all that
I honestly hope that the SS32 knockoff gets improved because the original SS figure is borderline unobtainable at this point due to the ridiculous prices.
It did. By the metallic version of this figure. It has good quality, and it's better than this one
Can you review the bai Wei megatron?
Prime cosplaying Buzz Lightyear
I have this right now in my hand and my last one broke so I had to get a new one and it didn’t come broken
Its fine but the legs are lossing joints i put superglue and its works
Well at least it came from the last fight scene where he looses his right arm
Hi you can buy the old version of star leader from rotf ,i have and is realy cool (sorry for my english im italian )
This can still work as a DOTM final battle display.
I have this Optimus oh I mean star leader and it's pretty accurate to the studio series toys
atleast it got the dark of the moon ending accuracy
I have the of these, all of them are super nice and no issues.
Luckily Exists a metallic version
and i think it has better quality
The head on this one looks better than the retail one
Even tho this figure hav a snapped right arm, it still lookin good, this was accurate to the original movie where sentinel ripoff his arm with his double edge blade
If you don't have the studio siries one put I'm Bach together with superglue and use this guy instead.
I got this figure in comic con and i had no issue with this figure
If you get a preorder/earlier ver you might get tight part/loose part ..so nothing can be camplained about since some of the Hasbro's tf also have sh it quality
You should buy some RC transformers and review them! Nice videos BTW. I am a new subscriber :D
Just got the “star leader” mines not broken great figure and he is pretty good
Challenge, drink every time he says broken.
Look at you, you who were once so proud go now and never return!
