>>9012569And here is Battle Blades Optimus Prime with his trademark Battle Blades™
He looks a lot like Movie Prime, only shrunken down from previous offerings.
Things I have to harp on right away; those fucking panels on hi forearms are such a bummer. The collide with everything and prevent Prime from bending his elbows more often than not.
Also his battle blades aren't removable so either they're deployed or they're also competing for space against all the panel gumming up Prime's arms.
From the elbows up though, he's a great figure. Robot mode is solid and well detailed. Most of the paint is just held over from vehicle mode.
Only about three robot parts are painted and not just coloured plastic.
>>9012588Affordable? Couldn't tell ya. But if you're looking for something in this size range there Battle Blades, Studio Series, and I think there was a voyager in DotM.
Maybe someone will call me an idiot and name more.
