Shaped as his truck mode, the Movie Optimus is now a pillow (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-movie-toys--products-30/dark-of-the-moon-optimus-prime-pillow-173559/) (I guess to go with that big plush Optimus they released in 2009).
And just like the previous plush Optimus, we probably won't see this here either.


(Why do I have this urge to really want this??? :o )

It's the wacky world of licensing with stuff like this. A manufacturer would need to pay a different set of fees for the rights in different regions. We usually fall within the APAC region so unless the manufacturer paid for rights in both regions, Target AU wouldn't be able to import.

On the flip side, APAC would get stuff that isn't available to the US... I've got some pretty wacky stuff from Asia that I doubt would have been available in the US. For example; Thongimus Prime (the AU definition of thongs... I don't think even Asia would make Mankini Prime :eek:). Imagine a pair of thongs embedded in a 2D Sentinel Prime's head like them wooden shape puzzles for young kids.
