To Celebrate Armada Month i have decided to do a little bit of Reminiscing, to see what it is like to open one of those figures for the first time the smell of the plastic the awesomeness tht was the twist ties and the cool little mini comic and colour catalogue. ahh The good old days.
So here it is what i will be opening for the very first time
Armada Powerlinx Optimus Prime with Corona Sparkplug
The Unboxing
do you remeber what the armada boxes where like the curved front 3 pieces of tape holding the flap closed keeping the toy sealed in its plastic.cardboard prison...nothing a good old fashioned Stanley cand fix
Close up
ohhh shiney
THE TWIST TIES
not like the modern marvels of paper ties these were the heavy duty wire tiess with plastic coating..
now there are to ways you can do this... painstakingly untwist them or the prefered method....Sidecutters...
ten to 15 minuttes later...a mess
FREEEEEDOMMMMM UPDATE 23/8/13
and whats in the baggy
Sparkplug
this little guy really is shiney but has a nice coolness feel to him, i guess deep down i think he is to shiney (is that possible) i think his face needs to be normal
Optimus Prime UPDATE 24/8/13
a blocky looking thing, but it did have a matrix in the chest kinda
Base
as far as trailer bases go this wasnt to bad, great for the minicons to use for the final battle... but then if there was to be a final battle i doubt very much prime would go in to battle without his pants
PantimusSuper Optimus Prime
blocky and brikky but it did have its cool points like the IR activation and self transforming.... someting we really have not seen again since
and that ladies and gentlebots is the unboxing of Powerlinx Optimus Prime.
hope you enjoyed it!
