Advance Peek at Customized Optimus Prime & Bumblebees for Transfomers Re-Imagined @ Cybertron Con 2012 (Images from Media Preview)
ADDED: You can VOTE for individual customs here on www.liveshare.com. The individual voting images also indicates the individual artists involved in the customs.
As previously posted in my visit to Cybertron Con on the day before the Sunday-launch on March 11th (for the Media Preview), I had the opportunity to be around in the later part of the afternoon, in time to snap some images of the TRANSFORMER RE-IMAGINED figurines being set-up by the folks organizing that aspect of the show. And what greeted me was indeed the BEST part of Cybertron Con, as far as I was concerned.
In total (according to the press release) a total of 50 artists had presented their customized versions of either an Optimus Prime and a Bumblebee, and in some cases, dioramic builds feature both characters (no wonder I never did receive my Optimus LOL). Unfortunately not all the name/description tags were in place, so I could only identify a scant few customs which I have had the honor of featuring here in this blog! I wish I could provide you folks with the full-list of participating artists and hobbyists tho...
The element of "hobby-craft" was indeed extremely strong in the showing, with a lot of examples manifesting in glorious dioramic-scenes, and even scaled soldiers running around the giant robots! *Glorious, Indeed*
Shown here are just a few scant examples of what was available on show (of which not all were placed in position when I snapped the pics at around 3+pm). And you can see more images HERE on my Facebook-album (Again, apologies for a whole lot of blurred images and discolors, due to my lack of photographic skills :p). Also, you can even vote for your favorite custom/s as well (Will update with details if and when I get it ;p).
Might need to pop back to Cybertron Con at Resorts World Sentosa for another round of snaps (before they close on March 14th), methinks ... but I reckon the attempt might be a tad more challenging, as there will be acrylic-showcase covers over them when the doors officially open to the public, so reflection would be a real bugbear… urgh.
