Will the next one be film accurate? They need to do like Pixar has done:

and yes, I know they printed it out, but I think from there they made a mold, hence the loss in detail.
Prime deserves better.
The pin stripes are on all the flames. I've seen them...BUT
The head, the eyes, the wind-sheild wipers, the finger joints, the helmet,the horrendous silver paint....
Call me a hater, but the incredible detail that makes Optimus such an incredible film character is gone.
I'd happily shell out...
MAY! How very interesting...
I wonder if sideshow will ever try something this complicated again?

er....*Ahem*
Have you already cancelled Atheris?
Why are there so few people excited about this product? Where are the die hard fans?
Is anyone else making an Optimus Prime that has this kind of detail (besides the pop box version)?
Atheris666: Thanks for clearing up the "pin stripe" issue. I have yet to see a clear enough image of the piece to know that the flames were not movie accurate. Unfortunate...
nemenforcer: THANK YOU! I was very worried that I might drop 1200 on a piece that left alot to be desired.

The...
I'm on the fence...I wanted the swords, but with shipping and duty, I'm very concerned about the bottom line.
Do you think it's likely that they will do another version, with Leds, metal and more detail in the head? I haven't seen many convincing pics of the paint job...
