It's sad, but true. The giant TFcon statue, 'Dak'sterpiece Optimus Prime is up for sale. He has been a focal point of the convention front hall for a number of years now, and it's time for him to retire. I am taking serious offers from now till the end of the show. For those that are interested, he does require pick up when the show is finished on sunday.

Prime's first appearance was at TFcon 2006 in the center of the front hall. He stood and still stands at a height of 10 ft 4 in and separates into 13 pieces for transportation. It took 3 months to build, was made from pink foam insulation and drywall compound, and in 2007 he received wooden re enforcements in his legs for added stability.

If interested, send me a PM, or find me all weekend at TFcon.

We shall see! Nothing planned yet.

I hope he goes to a good place!

General Tekno · 04-23-2009, 01:34 AM

He WILL need a replacement though, if only because it's a great eyecatcher...

Maybe if you're willing to kill yourself trying, Daksterpiece MOVIE Prime?

I say create a sound wave... and then every year add a new tape.

That's too bad. I would buy him, but I got nowhere to put him.

You know that's not a bad idea.
