  • The iconic leader of the Autobots kicks off XM Studios' 1/10 scale Transformers line. Throughout his millenia-old war with the Decepticons, Optimus has maintained his values of truth, justice, and peace for all, making him one of the purest heroes in pop culture. Does this statue live up to those high standards?

    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.

    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

    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.

    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

    • @BmuthaReviews
      @BmuthaReviews  4 роки тому

      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

      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.
