Got mine too which is a nice change, although I'll probably just keep the three heads at my MP Megatron's feet like some kind of trophy.

I just got the cartoon accurate Optimus Prime Head for my MP-01. was trying to compare the quality of the build with the original, this one doesn't feel cheap, at least not like the Plastic used in the Mini MP's.

Hi all,
This is my first post here. I made an account so that I can ask you all if any of you are looking to sell your (not clear) PP01 2nd edition. I know this is probably not the right place, but information and discussions on this figure are few and far between.
If any of you are interested PM me!
THANKS

I recieved my heads as well and the quality is fantatstic head shoulders above their Prime figures and easily on par with the factory heads. Plus they make a HUGE difference when it comes to the look of the Prime figures, definately worth it for me. There even cool as just mini-busts sitting on your desk because of the fair size.

Got mine. I really like it. I have not decided if I feel the sculpt is too dynamic in relation to the prime body mold. I do like it though, quality seems good but the ball for the base is too small. Both heads are loose on it, but the heads are great on the prime neck joint.

Neat heads!
So... in one of the reviews of the mini MPs that I saw, the anime accurate head needs to be removed for transformation. Is it the same for the full MP sized ones?

Yup, head needs to be popped off for transformation as the antennaes pointed outward will no longer fit. Keep the original head if you plan on transforming him a lot. I rarely do transform mines so it doesn't bother me. Is it a necessary upgrade? Not really. Is it cool? Definitely.

Yeah these are separate heads than the ones that came with the mini iGear Primes, iGear had a sale where you could buy all 3 with no shipping charge for $50. Kinda expensive but if your a huge Prime fan like me, worth it. But yes you do have to remove the heads but honestly when I transform my MP Primes I just pop the head of anyways since they seem to pop off anyways when your trying to get transform it. I just toss it in a box with his other spare parts. shop.igeartoys.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=35

I was never interested in the iGear Primes, but a shop I went to was selling a couple of them and had the Evil Leader (Shattered Glass Prime), and I figured since TakaraTomy is probably never gonna do this repaint, I thought why not and picked it up.
I gotta say I'm highly impressed by this piece; good quality plastic, nice tight joints, interchangeable heads and it doesn't have the mold damage on the upper thighs like the original MP Primes, if you know what I mean.
However, this will most likely be my first and last iGear Prime. I've already had 5 different versions of the original MPs, and getting more iGears is probably overkill.

Finally got my Autobot and Decepticon symbols from reprolabel so I can finally add some symbols to Prime and Magnus. All I need to do though is figure out if I want a symbol on both shoulders or just one like MP Prime/Magnus.
