[fxfranz]

@allancamarillo

sorry, i'd forgotten about this one. my bad

[tatt4music]

The reds on the classics version match much better than on the convoy version.I just need to get 2 autobot stickers to put on my figures shoulders.

[fxfranz]

@tatt4music

cool

[tflover842009]

im jsut recently got back uinto tf's nd i missed the classics so im really hoping they re-release the classics back out thru universe. if nto imma have to get the two pack earth optimus from animated nd buy the classics priems guns.

hey chef franz whixh do you think i shud do. 1) Get Classics Super Expensive in US or 2) buy Animated Earth Optimus nd buy classics guns ??

[fxfranz]

cool

get both.

[fxfranz]

but there has to be a cheaper source for the classics OP. try amazon or bigbadtoystore. coz out here in Manila. the Henkei OP goes for an average price of just $30 to $35

[SuperMyl3z]

i found a cheaper takara make, would you recommend it?

[fxfranz]

what do you mean? same figure but significantly lower price? just make sure it's not a knock-off

[kan0uchiha]

what is that at 1:13

[fxfranz]

plastic from the legs scraping the desk

[kan0uchiha]

oh ok but that sound made my ears feel like they where gonna bleed

[m4g35l4y4r]

what shall i buy classics prime or megatron? both are about 30 quid

[fxfranz]

prime

[retrocute]

Just wondering kick ass franz, just how well centered is the head of your henkei optimus? because mine is a bit veering to the left side of the figure, to think that i got him MISB...can't tell from this video...

[fxfranz]

on my figure, the head is well centered, sits in the middle.

[BumblebotPrime]

Are the tyres rubber?

[fxfranz]

nope

[enzo091000]

i live in manila

[fxfranz]

cool

[enzo091000]

wen was it out

[fxfranz]

last November 2008 (in manila) limited pieces.

[roachofdoom1234]

what's the difference in colors between henkei and classics prime?

[fxfranz]

henkei colors are darker

[eataebaktae]

How much do you think will the Nemesis Prime cost if I do find one? And where in Metro Manila can I find both Nemesis Prime and the Classics Voyager Optimus Prime? I've never seen them in any of the toy stores I've been to. But now that I've seen the review, I feel like I want to have either one or both...Thanks!

[fxfranz]

NP was available at TK for a while for 1,500. he was also sold months ago in hobby shops in GH for 1,600. i haven't seen him around though. Classics OP i think BesToys or Greattoysonline might still have one, but you'll have to buy the 2 pack with UM

[jmon74]

"If" you get him? You know you want him, you mean "When" right? Haha

[fxfranz]

we'll see...

[jmon74]

Do you have ROTF Leader Optimus Prime yet? If so, will you please do a review for it?

[fxfranz]

i will if i get him

[botscons79]

great review! I have both Classics and Henkei Optimus Pirmes. One of the best Voyager molds ever! And it is designed by Don Figueroa, a celebrated Fil-Am TF artist and writer. No wonder the TF Classics is a huge hit here! =)

[fxfranz]

thanks

really? i didn't know about the designer

i hope he designs loads more of universe figures

[enzo091000]

wer can ubuy it

[fxfranz]

she's out of stock everywhere currently. but i bought mine when it first came out at Toy Kingdom

[averageasian429]

Hmm Im REALLY tempted to get the henkei version of this figure. Do you recommend it to someone who also has the "classics" version? I just really dig that paint job on him

[fxfranz]

oh absolutely, you have to get the henkei version even if you have the classics one. i don't have the classics, but in your case you can display both--one in bot mode and the other in truck mode--i think they would look great like that on your display shelf.

[exiaaltronus05]

Nice review, for me, either Henkei or Classics Optimus Prime will do fine for me since they're both super cool!

[fxfranz]

amen to that. i'm even thinking of getting an ultra mag if anyone's selling one for a "non-ridiculous" price

[exiaaltronus05]

There's a two pack in Sta. Lucia with Ultra Magnus and Optimus Prime. I'm gonna check if it's still there.

[fxfranz]

great. oh, i asked around about the TAGCOM, scheduled for next weekend after this weekend at Robinsons place manila. i might check out the 1st day

[shockprime98]

awsome review

[fxfranz]

thanks, mate

[danimus79]

nice review,can you do a review on universe INFERNO?

[fxfranz]

thanks.

sure, i'll queue him up with my upcoming reviews

[bolder1998]

NICE

[fxfranz]

thanks :-)

[Xfend]

Hey I was just wondering. How do you put Primes. Silver gun on his shoulder

[fxfranz]

there's a hole behind his sholder where a screw is fitted. i just peg in the gun's folded handle there. i got that little gimmick from peaugh's friend mike in his black convoy video review

[Xfend]

Yeah i watch that through. I guess I missed that part.

[fxfranz]

well, it's my fault for not mentioning it in the review. i'm in the process of acquiring a henkei Meg, i'll do a review once i get him
