>>10449410He's also deceptively large, more like a Masterpiece figure than anything mainline with the appropriate amount of detail to back it up. Funny enough I believe this actually scales him rather accurately to SS-38 Bumblebee Optimus, since bots in the new film universe are much smaller than in the Bay films.
I don't think I'll be transforming him very much since he feels rather fiddly in hand, I don't know if it's a different kind of plastic used for him or just me being paranoid about ham handing it since almost all of his joints are ratcheted. Same with a feature to swap between faceplate and unmasked faces, which involves a very small piece holding the ball joint in which I didn't feel comfortable dealing with. Still, I'm not sure how widely known or available he was outside of Japan but it's a neat Takara exclusive promotional item to add to the collection.
