@@shahiranaffandi8217 it's no longer being produced and very difficult to get, almost impossible. You've got to join local transformers FB group and if you're lucky, it will pop up for sale. But you've got to pay in the range of rm800 to rm1000
I believe there will be, from how all the KO are recently popping in 2021 out of the factory without any tease. I think it likely doing to happen soon. The plastic quality will be better, but hopeful the paint will be too.
@@shadoruto6679 so it stated on Transfan that it's a direct copy, however, they will not change any of the design, except 'better quality plastic' as the orginal is not good. Interms of price it maybe similar price to WJ due to the plastic. If it a KO of a KO, then usually the cheaper it is, it a poor martial. Example DX9 HOTROD (original KO) , to thunder leader HotRod. UT lockdown (orginal KO) > BLS lockdown (ko to UT.) My honest opinion is that it's a reverse engineering, it might not be as clean, but this require someone to sacrifice a WJBA to make the molds.

I believe that the spare face has a movable mouth plate. You can flip it to the back of his face, so you don't have to rotate the other faces all the time. Good review!
Hi there. The factory is now closed, only a handful of people still have this figure in mint condition and they are very expensive. You can check AliExpress (last I saw the price was 4x the original price) while second hand is tripled but you need to connect with people on socmed and FB groups to be alerted if anyone wants to sell theirs. Overall I would say it's very difficult to get.
It's either you use the BA and buy the custom accessories to make him look like DOTM Prime (six pack torso) or you can go for Black Mamba LS-03F which is very much still available everywhere, it's a bit taller than the BA Prime, but he is the DOTM Prime
@@ZACollectibles Thank you for taking the time to reply. I’m going to look into the figure you mentioned. Also, do you have the name of the model kit for me to look that up as well?
@@SonOfAdam94 you can search for 'Black Apple Optimus Prime upgrade kit'. It does not have a specific brand and only one manufacturer that did this. There are few upgrade parts but the torso is what making him looks more like a DOTM Prime. There is a knuckle and energon hooks as well.
Black mamba has made one it's a bit bigger than this optimus but it comes with all the weapons like axe his blaster etc I think it's the ls03f model for prime
Hi there. This model is no longer on sale. I think the last batch that they managed to salvage (the creator/engineer was caught by police due to plagiarism) was back in 2021 and go on sale for a shortwhile but it's gone since 2020 as far as I can remember. I'm thinking about selling mine. Drop me an email at kachi1_ruggers@yahoo.com
@@vayneaurelius727 I'm not sure if they do international shipping and if you're looking for this Optimus, it's no longer been produced. Toypanic, MyHobbyToys to name few, but we also have individual people who has direct link to China's factory and they don't have a shop

I hope wei jiang made another batch of this very soon with a head upgrade, bicep blades like dotm version and chest with autobot insignia
Yes, waiting for more information on the new announcement, hopefully it's better than this one 👍

In Transfans fb page it says that there are rumours that an unknown company is KO'ing this figure
@@TheBatman39 so do it means it’s going to be even less expensive than the black apple? And also can you give me a link please

Yes one of the thing that I've missed, thank you! 👍👍
Here's hoping the re-release is true. I will totally get a second one if it is
hey ZA, do you know anyone I can contact someone you may know from the factories or elsewhere looking to sell a BA by any chance?

Doctor algy it's on preorder at show z store
Thanks for this video! Do you know if anyone is producing a DOTM Prime KO?

@@rossosprey3403 thank you.
Which is bigger this one or the Ls03F?
LS03F is bigger, about 34/35 cm tall. This is 29/30 cm. You can watch my Decepticons video for more information
I just want to know how to get this. Since it’s on websites that I don’t use I just only use Amazon

His head can rotate it is just stiff
Where did you get it? :0
From local seller back in July 2020. The Weijiang factory is now closed and this figure is not in production anymore. Very hard to get now.
@@ZACollectibles I know, I’ve looked everywhere for one but it’s impossible to get
@@xg835 I was lucky to get it at the very last moment. The seller actually approached me and offered his last stock.
Aliexpress had him but he is not cheap. I got him a few years ago when he was much cheaper
Did you glue it back on to his gun?
You mean the broken part? Nope, because it will still break when you move the smokestack, unless it's a super strong glue
@@ZACollectibles Damn, I hope you find a type of super glue that can fix the broken gun.
Where are u buy this figure
Local shops here in Malaysia
Can u share the name of the shop pls

@@robertalvarez6492 how much are you willing to pay and the shipping is quite difficult nowadays due to the pandemic. Are you willing to take the risk
