wow this is seriously epic, that jet pack light up is one of the best light up features ive ever seen, i agree with you in that your favorite way to display it is also my favorite way and thats actually where the 1 negative of this piece comes from for me and that is that the two right arm display options look awkward with the portrait that is facing to his left so if i were to get this i would display it with the extended gun arm the portrait facing his right and possibly with the axe also, but regardless this is clearly an epic statue and anyone who owns it should be very proud of it
This is an instant classic, a great masterpiece from XM Studios. Truly a must-have if you're a big Transformers/Optimus Prime fan. Great work on the review!
I’ve had my eye on this gem the day it first came out and never pulled the trigger. Well… I finally did and I’m excited to have it in my collection. Nice review as always.
Hands down the best statue reviewer going around...and there are a LOT of good ones. You always get the framing perfect for your video footage - tight enough to see all the detail, but wide enough to be able to take in the whole piece. I do really like this piece, but went with the IA version this time around as I just find this one too greebly to make me feel a true G1 tone.
Have this coming in and this review only made me more excited, for me I know this will be my favourite statue ever. The XM team smashed this!!! Looks incredible. Thank you for the review!
Thanks for the review KB! Absolutely mindblowing statue. I don't know of another OP in statue form that hits it on all cylinders like XM's does. My most anticipated statue ever so far!!
I agree its definitely the best Optimus Prime, it's just a beautiful statue in general. Paintwork is just stunning. I may have to collect the full line now!!!
Personally I don’t own any statues, a few months back a stumbled on to these type of channels and started loving them but now all i got to say is Wow this statue is incredible. For some reason this statue to me feels like its alive, how it flows and the switch outs are something to truly admire. Oh and great job on the review 10/10.
Great review man! sick piece! kinda funny earlier today i watched a show on Netflix called The Toys That Made Us and i watched the Transformers episode and learned all about the origins of the franchise and all that cool stuff
That's a great show! It's fun to see what went into developing those toys that we loved as kids. the GI JOE episode was cool, they explain how Snake Eyes was a bit of a mistake, but ended up being one of the most popular characters. Funny how things work out!
Your original g1 optimus and megatron review sealed the deal for me some years back. I won't be getting this because I really love the p1 pieces to me they are perfect. I do have xm starscream coming and he should fit the p1 pieces well enough. A great piece still for sure very cool. I honestly still want p1 bumblebee from the new movie but also have p1 jungle hunter coming so had to make decisions. Good review brotha.
Ah, yes, the Prime 1 G1 pieces are very nice as well...can't go wrong with either. I think you made the right choice with the Jungle hunt...erm..."big game cover art" Predator! I have that one on order myself.
Thanks for the review, Bmutha. I am going to watch this review for a least a hundred times waiting for mine. Why is the windshield wipers warped on the truck alt mode? What is the shipping cost to Canada? Are you going to Singapore comic con, please take more detailed videos of the new Transformers? THX
The wipers are made of a softer material and could be adjusted. Honestly, I just did not notice until after I filmed it and packed everything back up. No, I won't be at SGCC this year...maybe next year, I hope.
I honestly didn’t pay attention to his weight when I pre-ordered him. I didn’t even look into it until after he was shipped and it said 100lb on DHL. I was like wtf that has to be wrong.lol. Just unboxed him and nope it’s on point.. man this statue is amazing and I agree the truck along is beautiful...
i know you got the original Daniel Bel Sideshow Daredevil PF, but did you also get the recently released Shadowlands variant? i love both version but especially the shadowlands version idk why but im seriously blown away by that variant
No, I did not get the black variant. It looks cool, but I am a bit of a stickler when it comes to Daredevil costumes. That DD costume was never really comic accurate to begin with, so the black repaint looks not too bad. BUT...DD's black costume should not be a simple repaint of the red costume...like Wolverine's brown costume, you can't just paint the yellow costume brown, it's a completely different costume. Same goes for Daredevil's black (and yellow) costumes. The black costume (either Shadowland or the recent Charles Soule run) deserves its own statue! /endrant, lol
Thanks! Optimus is starting to ship out in batches, and I was lucky to be in one of the early batches...luck of the draw, I guess, I don't really have an explanation, lol
Bmutha Reviews Well congratulations to you it’s looking absolutely stunning Ii thought the hulk buster was their top statue until I saw this. Do they have worldwide license now first Transformers or is this still coming from Asia
What size is that turn table Prime is on? I'll be purchasing him at the end of the next week and planning to purchase a custom Cylinder pedestal to display him on.
@@StatueBossProductions Sweet, I was curious only cause I knew I needed to find out what diameter pedestal I would need to display this bad boy, soon to buy.
It seems XM transformer lines ain’t selling well, Star scream can still be found for retail price, Grimlock is still available after 2 month with edition size of 399... any reason why? I personally think starscream and Grimlock are awesome
I purchased the XM Optimus following this review. I do think that the Bumblebee is over priced considering its really small size. Grimlock is incredible but it’s just so BIG. There has been a flood of G1 transformer statues of late, Prime 1, Imaginarium Art and now XM. I guess XM are the last to the table as well, meaning that other options may have already been chosen from the others.
Orange Peel I have grim lock on PO and are most likely have to transfer him in the future, I am struggling to find solution to his 80 cm depth for display
What an incredible sculpt. Borderline too "michael bay"ish but still the features + "throw in" make this an amazing piece to own. Tough decision... because you know once you get one from the series, you kinda have to get them all, lol
The retail price is always listed in the credits at the end of the video. But, these TF's have been sold out for years, so I have no idea what they are going for these days.
One day I think they will. They are making some headway with their DC line, so who knows...maybe more lines will follow if they can find a distributor to work with.
Unfortunately, it's an xm statue and auto disqualified for its poor solidity and horrific transport costs. Prime One has a G1 1/3 Megatron and 1/3 Optimus coming next year that will stomp xm into the ground and I for one have no problem waiting.
You mind expanding on that? I know that P1 has the G1 Optimus prime from the Bumblebee movie up for pre order now. It's excellent. But are they planning a more classic G1 version along with a Megatron?

Agree, Transformers fans will love this one!
As always, thanks for sharing. MAD CONGRATULATIONS! What a PHENOMENAL addition to your collection. Awesome review.
Thanks for watching, John!
Great review! Would be even better if you can also show the unboxing process
Thanks! I like doing unboxings, but, for a complicated piece like this, it would have been very time consuming to do.

Wow, thank you very much for the compliments, and thanks for watching!
Amazing sculpt on this. The production looks outstanding. Loved the review as always!
Thanks very much! Yes, XM did a nice job with this one.
So awesome! Mine apparently ships out on the 30th and will be displayed opposite P1's Optimus Primal.
Excellent, that will make an awesome display!
Have this coming in and this review only made me more excited, for me I know this will be my favourite statue ever. The XM team smashed this!!! Looks incredible. Thank you for the review!
My pleasure! I am sure you will love it...just make sure to order some batteries, lol
@@StatueBossProductions Already on it thanks to you my good man!!!!!
Thanks for the review KB! Absolutely mindblowing statue. I don't know of another OP in statue form that hits it on all cylinders like XM's does. My most anticipated statue ever so far!!
I know you're a huge TF fan, and I think you will love this piece!
What a beautiful piece. The best Optimus Prime statue IMO. Can’t wait to see reviews on XM’s other Transformer statues.
I agree its definitely the best Optimus Prime, it's just a beautiful statue in general. Paintwork is just stunning. I may have to collect the full line now!!!
I should get a chance to review Starscream and Megatron, whenever those are released.
I saw some pictures of Starscream with the coronation parts that look amazing. That will be a great review. Megatron looks awesome too of course.
@@meteorman528 Both look fantastic!!!!!
Craig Hay agreed 100%. If you can afford it I think collecting the entire line is the way to go.

Awesome Video, can't wait for all the rest to be displayed at Comic Con SG.
The Transformers display should be huge and spectacular!
That is such a magnificent piece!.... they didn’t spare on the details.... I wonder what it looks like under lights 🤔
It'd probably look pretty good in any lighting.

Awesome review Kris and a very beautiful piece,can’t wait to see the new XM Grimlock 😉🙌
Grimlock will apparently be shown at SGCC in a few weeks. Their Transformers line is growing!
Bmutha Reviews Ang Seng already said that Grimy is going to towering OP and Megatron 😉🥳
@@nelsonludovico4407 yuge!

Thanks bud, great review 👍
Thanks for watching!
whats up man chris from nyc.... hot piece should hav jumped on it looks super cool.
Hey, Chris! Thanks for watching!
I blame this review for my purchase of this awesome piece :)
Sorry! 😄
Savage. Will u you be reviewing star scream ? That looks even better.
Yep, I should get a chance for Starscream.
Extremely nice piece
Indeed it is...thanks for watching!
you do the best reviews.
Thanks very much!
Stunning review just curious how did you get this are you in North America are these shipping out yet I pre-ordered mine like two years ago
Thanks! Optimus is starting to ship out in batches, and I was lucky to be in one of the early batches...luck of the draw, I guess, I don't really have an explanation, lol
Bmutha Reviews Well congratulations to you it’s looking absolutely stunning Ii thought the hulk buster was their top statue until I saw this.
Do they have worldwide license now first Transformers or is this still coming from Asia
@@GEOFFYCOLLECTION Mine is coming from specfiction shop. Shipping was about 500.00
What size is that turn table Prime is on? I'll be purchasing him at the end of the next week and planning to purchase a custom Cylinder pedestal to display him on.
It's around 21-22" diameter. It is actually a refurbished wine barrel lid that I found on eBay years ago.
@@StatueBossProductions Sweet, I was curious only cause I knew I needed to find out what diameter pedestal I would need to display this bad boy, soon to buy.
@@daf5162 No problem. Yeah, you have to make sure you have your space planned before this beast comes in!
What is the single heaviest piece? The base?
Yes, the base is quite large and mostly one piece, so it is definitely the heaviest single component.
@@StatueBossProductions Thanks 👍
It seems XM transformer lines ain’t selling well, Star scream can still be found for retail price, Grimlock is still available after 2 month with edition size of 399... any reason why? I personally think starscream and Grimlock are awesome
They’re big and expensive, and shipping cost on top of that. The statues themselves are incredible.
I purchased the XM Optimus following this review. I do think that the Bumblebee is over priced considering its really small size. Grimlock is incredible but it’s just so BIG. There has been a flood of G1 transformer statues of late, Prime 1, Imaginarium Art and now XM. I guess XM are the last to the table as well, meaning that other options may have already been chosen from the others.
Orange Peel I have grim lock on PO and are most likely have to transfer him in the future, I am struggling to find solution to his 80 cm depth for display
Zybex Gaming 80cm depth - that’s just nuts!
THIS G-1 PRIME LOOKS BAD ASS👊🏽👍🏽👍🏽
It is!
What an incredible sculpt. Borderline too "michael bay"ish but still the features + "throw in" make this an amazing piece to own. Tough decision... because you know once you get one from the series, you kinda have to get them all, lol
The struggle is real, lol. Thanks for watching!
What is the price of these transformers statues go for? Optimus prime Megatron and starscream.
The retail price is always listed in the credits at the end of the video. But, these TF's have been sold out for years, so I have no idea what they are going for these days.
Is has a diecast part
No, this is a cold cast porcelain statue, and has no diecast parts.
Awesome review! Is that statue still available to buy? Great Spider-Man villians collection btw!
Thanks! I have a couple more to add to the villains wall soon. As far as Optimus, you can try radicalcollectibles.com, they may be able to get it.
@@StatueBossProductions Thanks! And keep up the good work, I love Spider-Man, he's my favorite, hoping to see more of him here on your channel.
I really need starscream!!!
Yes. Yes, you do!
Too bad XM Studio don't ship to the states
One day I think they will. They are making some headway with their DC line, so who knows...maybe more lines will follow if they can find a distributor to work with.
Unfortunately, it's an xm statue and auto disqualified for its poor solidity and horrific transport costs. Prime One has a G1 1/3 Megatron and 1/3 Optimus coming next year that will stomp xm into the ground and I for one have no problem waiting.
Ok. Prime 1 makes some great stuff, I am especially looking forward to their new "Big Game Cover Art" Predator!
@@StatueBossProductionsI got that one ordered 😉
You mind expanding on that? I know that P1 has the G1 Optimus prime from the Bumblebee movie up for pre order now. It's excellent. But are they planning a more classic G1 version along with a Megatron?
@@commander0zero they already have made 1/4 scale G1 which were great. They are now gravitating towards 1/3 as the standard on most statues.
