G1 Optimus Prime 2014 Christmas Ornament from Hallmark

[Ultra Mackness]

This isn't exactly news although I did a quick search I couldn't find a thread for it but apologies if I'm unnecessarily starting a new one!

Like the title says, this is a Hallmark Christmas ornament. Being G1 Optimus, I naturally wanted to pick one up but Hallmark Australia didn't have it on their website so I don't trust that it will be released here and the Hallmark America site doesn't offer shipping to Oz.

However the site in the link does offer shipping to Oz :D

Not often you see Optimus Prime figures these days that are so G1-toy based.

I totally agree, it looks pretty good too.

That's part of what makes it such a "must buy!" for me - the pure nostalgia is incredible!

That is seriously cool :cool:
They used the actual G1 toy as inspiration.
Love it! :)

I wasn't expecting it to look like that. Very cool.

[Bidoofdude]

I like it. Probably will skip though. ;)

We'll my early Christmas present arrived today - pretty quick shipping from the people in the link in the first post.

This guy oozes G1 charm, right down to the actual stickers that are used (except for the shoulder Autobot symbols) and for my money is a must for any Geewunner whatever your convictions about the Yuletide season! I'd even go so far as to say that my Prime collection wouldn't be complete without it!

But anyways, pics and you can make up your own mind :)
