TF Animated Optimus Prime Custom Ax Proto

After several months of trial and error, my first product is almost ready. I have found a reliable mold, and a prototype that works well and is very sturdy. I will be releasing a limited number of these prototypes to the public via E-bay in an effort to raise funds for the full production run of these accessories. The prototypes will come with a signed, numbered, and stamped certificate of authenticity. So head on over to the E-bay auctions, or send me an e-mail to confirm your pre-order of the production run.

Nato's Bot Shop is proud to announce our first product. Natobot’s Custom Ax!! This Ax is for use with Hasbro’s™ Transformers Animated™ Voyager Class Optimus Prime™ and comes with two interchangeable blades (one “open” energy blade, and one “closed” blade) two staffs of different lengths, and a “thrust cone” to simulate Prime’s jet boosted jumps. The kit will come molded in color with some paint applications. So it will be ready for your action posing fun right out of the box for only $10.00 USD +SH!

To pre-order your Custom Ax please send your name, email address, and the number of units you desire to nato-bot@hotmail.com. Shipping costs will be combined for multiple purchases. There will be a 30% Wholesale discount for orders over 10 units. For larger orders over 100 units there will be a 40% discount. Please don’t send payment information yet. All payments will be processed once the product is ready to ship. The production run is limited to 2000 units so act now!. Check out the E-bay auction here for a chance to win one of the 20 limited edition PROTOTYPES.

I just put a new update on my website.

I’d like to thank all of you fans for the support you’ve all given my little group. We have gotten hundreds of pre-orders, so many in fact that it seems I can no longer take any more. So, as of tonight Tuesday 10-21-08 at 5:00pm Pacific Time (AKA California US time), we will no longer be taking pre-orders for NBCWS-01 Custom Ax. This will be the last time it will be available for $10 directly from us. With the release of the Ax in December, the price will be set at it’s final $15 price point, so act now!

Thank you everyone!

Nate

Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know the Prototype ax arrived today. It's a sweet chunk, Optimus about tore it out my hands once he seen it! :thumb :thumb :thumb

Thanks again!

Cool, I'm glad you liked it!

The proto's are turning out ok, but it is taking quite a bit longer than I had antisipated (and quite a bit of post mold tooling that I don't feel like repeating 2000 times :( ).

I'm sure that everyone (ie. ME) would prefer that you take whatever time is needed to ensure a quality product. It's fan made, and we all (again, ME) understand that you don't have a factory in China churning these things out.

Just take a page from the Fansproject guys, trial and error before production = :win

I'm sure you'd get wore down after about the first 20 or so, it'd make me wacko trying to attempt that many.

OK, that beg's the question about the prototypes and how they look, but I'm betting they look sharp. It also answers the question of "Is this guy really going to crank out 2000 of these by hand??" :thumb

That is awesome. :clap

Absolutely love it.

If you ship out of country I'll definitely put in an order for one.

Sure do!

I have yet to find voyage Optimus Prime but I imagine it's only a matter of time.

Glad to finally have an alternative available other that the battle two pack axe or the fold out voyager one.

Give me a heads up when production starts up.

Again awesome job and a real treat for fans. :thumb

I'm actually looking into having them "short-run" produced professionally now, instead of doing it myself . It will probably cost more (for me, I'll eat that cost so the price will still be $9.99), but I think the end quality would be better that what I'm currently capable of doing in my garage. So, I'm not sure how long it would be until the items are released.
