Transformers 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime
Nobody else has released this yet, at least Amazon.com/toysrus.com hasn't.
Or the other websites I went to.
It also shows it's price everywhere at 79.99.
Today at Wal-mart I was able to pick this bad ass toy up for 64 dollars.
Definately a bargain.
As soon as I picked up the box the thrill of my youth was back.
The box was heavy.
Heavy = Die Cast Fucking Metal.
Fucking old school, man.
The people behind this guy put in alot of love.
Even though I couldn't buy two this guy was too cool looking not to open.
Plus, I'll be fucking damed if I drop over 60 bucks on a toy at 27 years old and not transform that bad motherfucker at least once.
I pop ol Optimus out of the box. They really had him in there good with wire ties and plastic. Not to damage Prime, or the box I used a pair of wire clippers I use for modeling and snipping the ends off my joints so I can smoke em. Any who...
Optimus is well over a foot tall and is more articulated than Marvel Legands figures.
Up to the point where each of his fingers AND his thumb move independantly.
So if you fancy putting Prime on your shelf giving the stone cold double middle finger you can indulge yourself.
Plus, Prime could teach that slut Barbie a thing or two about the Kama Sutra.
I've got a full fucking hardon and I haven't even gotten the fuckin accesories out of the box yet.
Prime comes with his ever trusty blaster rifle, a little Megatron in gun mode.
Also the Autobot Matix of leadership which not only opens but you can pop it in his chest.
Now that I had gotten Prime and his booty of goodys out of the box for a bit it was time to move onto truck mode.
Now transformation was a little more complicated I would love to be able to post pictures.
But it wasn't too, too hard and thy really did do a beatifull job.
They did a grat job of hiding the front tires inside his chest even though it made transformation a tad more compicated than your generation 1 prime.
Which pritty much any young lad with some moxy in his head and a pocket full of common sense could transform with relative ease.
I reall wish I could post better up close and personal pics of Optimus for you guys who are into Transformers.
I looked around and have yet to find pictures that actully do him justice.
Some of the joints even have like pistons and things plastic not metal and only for detail but it does look cool.
This has to be one of the greatest god damn toys I have ever had.
I haven't been this excited since my Grandmother and Grandfather got me the original (actully Empire or ROTJ ) Kenner Millenium Falcon.
20th Anniversary Prime was at least for me worth the money.
