You'll let us know if someone out there is interested in this because that could be a story itself. The Chinese company Fool's Paradise is making a series of large statues featuring popular G1 Transformers characters are football players. These are official statues in collaboration with ZW World website. They are 41 cm tall and ready to order for $430.00 shipped worldwide (the statue itself is 350).
Here is the site that exclusively sells them: https://www.zcwostore.com/product-page/ ... imus-prime
It is interesting that they give Optimus Prime a mustache, probably as a nod to Peter Cullen.

This would've made more sense while Calvin Johnson was still playing.
Just not $400 worth of sense.

Make them Funko-Pop sized at around 20$ each and I may consider buying some of these novelty statues.
But huge like that and at 400 freaking US dollars?
For what is basically a joke item?
It's a hard pass.

This is some sort of AI prompt made into a physical item.

I think it's a fun vibe but uh...not sure if it's 400$ level of fun. I do agree if it were smaller (and of course, cheaper) it'd be a wacky novelty item to get...

A+ for creativity. I think it looks really good, for what it is. I mean, I'd only buy it if it was like a squeeze toy...no need for a statue, but still, really cool design.

Super expensive, but oddly appealing

I'd really like to see the weird a## Venn diagram that prompted this.
What kind of niche market brings together, Football fans, Transformer Fans and fans with $400 bucks of disposable income to throw at this, that still makes it profitable for anyone?
And it appears there's Starscream, Megatron, Bumblebee and Soundwave in the future. But not, Ironhide or Grimlock which would make sense as big bruiser football players.

Official Transformers with facial hair already make me uncomfortable. I avoid Wreck-Gar, Scourge,and Sweep toys.
This makes me feel queasy.
