Re: 7 Metre Movie Optimus Prime statue in Port Hope, ON!

Good use of scrap car parts, but did it really have to be outsourced? I would think there is enough talent locally that could make that as well?

Looks like they have a BB as well.

Re: 7 Metre Movie Optimus Prime statue in Port Hope, ON!

The folks who make these sorts of things are so talented, BUT I have yet to see one that gets the proportions right. I wonder why that is?

Talking Giant Transformer invades Port Hope Ontario!

Article in today's Toronto Star newspaper talks about a Port Hope antiques dealer who ordered a 7 metre tall TF Movie Optimus Prime Statue from Asia.

Apparently he'll be bringing it indoors for the winter, so drive by and take your pictures while you can! (Note: Port Hope appears to be between Bowmanville and Cobourg)

I'm assuming he's not a cybertron.ca member, probably more of a casual fan, but I thought it was great to see how popular and mainstream transformers are becoming.

See article for full details:
