Prime 1 Studio (株式会社プライム1スタジオ, Prime 1 Studio Inc.) is a Japanese company that specializes between scaled and non-scaled polystone statues of characters from a variety of popular franchises such as DC Comics' Batman, Godzilla, Jurassic Park, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (including the Michael Bay-produced reboot) and Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Since 2014, they have been releasing numerous Transformers statues based on the live-action film series, Generation 1, and Beast Wars. They also sell tons of exclusive Transformers merchandise at their local and online stores.

Museum Masterline

[edit]

Museum Masterline is a series of extremely detailed and screen-accurate statues made of polystone and based on all six live-action movies to date. They're all huge, sometimes very huge, and usually feature LED lights on their eyes, bases and other areas. They come disassembled in packaging and require the buyer to put their parts together.

These statues are actually able to articulate some of their joints and come with alternate parts, such as heads with and without battle masks, differently posed arms and hands, and optional weapons. Most of them come with even more accessories when bought from specific retailers, and are generally dubbed "EX" (exclusive) versions.

For simplicity's sake, the list below excludes the "MMTFM-" prefix from the ID numbers, and only lists EX versions with a significant change such as a new paint job or the addition of another character as an accessory.

Premium Bust

[edit]

The Premium Bust series is also focused on screen-accurate depictions of movie characters, but limits itself to their heads and torsos attached to small bases. At least some of these busts are interchangeable with the heads of the statues above, allowing for the creation of even more display options.

This series' ID numbers start with "PBTFM-".

Premium Masterline

[edit]

The Premium Masterline statues are mostly similar to the Museum ones, but instead represent highly stylized versions of Generation 1 characters and generally accurate but much better textured Beast Wars characters.

The ID numbers for G1 characters use "PMTF-" while Beast Wars characters use "PMTFBW-" prefixes.

Cutie1

[edit]

A striking departure from the above offerings, the Cutie1 series features soft vinyl figures stylized as button-eyed dolls with chibi proportions. They are based on G1 and Beast Wars characters.

A year in advance to the release of the G1 characters' figures, acrylic keychains based on their designs were released along with other Cutie1 merchandise.

Many more products based on these designs have also been made available on Prime 1 Studio's official store.

    Prime 1 Artprint

    [edit]

    Among its many merchandise offerings, Prime 1 Studio sells officially licensed framed art prints depicting realistic drawings of Transformers characters by Josh Nizzi. These art prints are limited to 300 pieces each and come autographed by the artist.

    Their ID numbers start with "APTF-".

    • 01 Jetpower Optimus Prime (Revenge of the Fallen)
    • 02 Bumblebee (available in both Regular Version and Battle Mask Edition, Bumblebee)
    • 03 Optimus Prime (Bumblebee)
    • 04 Shockwave (with a defeated Optimus Prime in the ground and Driller in the background, Dark of the Moon)
    • 05 Megatron (Revenge of the Fallen)

    Cancelled products

    [edit]

    Due to the unstable nature of manufacturing large, extremely expensive niche products for the adult collector market, Prime 1 Studio's offerings are susceptible to a number of obstacles from the concept stage to the release date that can result in their cancellation.

    The most common reasons for a product's development to be cut short are the constant rising production costs and when the target audience doesn't demonstrate enough interest in actually buying it.

    Age of Time

    [edit]

    The Age of Time statues were designed to be the "ultimate amalgamation" between G1 and movie characters.

    War for Cybertron Trilogy

    [edit]

    These statues were directly based on the character designs from Netflix's War for Cybertron Trilogy cartoon.
