ACTION FIGURES / STATUES
TRANSFORMERS: WAR WITHIN OPTIMUS PRIME MINI-STATUE
Hundreds of thousands of years ago, during the terrible civil wars of Cybertron, the
mantle of "Prime" fell heavily upon this Autobot's shoulders. Originally an accomplished
archivist and intelligence analyst, Optimus faced grave doubts about his ability to lead —
not only from his own troops, but within his own Spark as well. But the challenge of
struggling against the consuming madness of the Decepticons as well as conquering his
own deep doubts gave rise to the greatest Autobot Prime of all time — Optimus Prime!
Presented here in his original Cybertronian guise, from a time before even prehistoric
man gazed wonderingly up at the stars — a polystone rendering of every detailed piston,
tread and servo of the Autobot that would stand as one of the greatest heroes the universe
has ever known! Fully authorized and presented on an official Autobot symbol base, this
is a Transformer collectible unlike any seen before!Strictly limited to initial orders. Some
minor assembly may be required. Scheduled to ship in July 2005. NOTE: Not available in Asia.
Statue SRP: $64.99
TRANSFORMERS: PARADRON MEDIC STATUE
Previously An Internet Exclusive! The Paradron Medic is compassionate, kind and
committed to peace. She fled Cybertron eons ago with her Autobot allies, during the civil
wars, and settled the peaceful, energy-rich planet Paradron, until it was invaded and taken
over by the Decepticons. The Paradron Medic uses an Energon infuser and other medical
devices to revive and preserve the lives of her fellow Transformers. Standing roughly 6"
tall and featuring stunning detail, the Paradron Medic comes in a full-color, individually
numbered box. Scheduled to ship in May 2005. (5168) (CAUT: 4)
Statue SRP: $80.00
TRANSFORMERS: ARCEE MINI-STATUE Offered Again
Can a robot be "male" or "female"? This question has plagued Transformers fans since
the debut of the female Autobots (robots whose bodies and voices resemble those of
human females) in Transformers: The Movie in 1987. Elegant, and sexy, Arcee has
proven herself invaluable in battle on more than one occasion. Available Now!
Mini-Statue SRP: $69.99
