Toy Review - Generations FOC Optimus Prime

[i_amtrunks]

I don't hate the mold, but it is not the best figure ever created. Transformation is too easy, dimensions are very strange and the feet are just there in alt mode sticking out like a sore thumb.

Yet I still like it. Visually it is nowhere near as good as the WFC version, but the simplicity of transformation is a positive when compared to the original.

It is very small, so I can only recommend if you can get it cheap, love the FoC Prime model and do not have the original/do not like it.

It' s actually quite detailed, mostly the head. Although small, it fits well with Shockwave. Looks better from the side than straight on. I have him side on with one foot forward on a rock. Really reminds me of him going: "I am Optimus Prime, and I send this message bla bla." He looks better in person but still kind of mediocre. Better than nothing though. I think it's good to add to a Foc scene but not by its self as lots of other deluxes tower.

It's not a terrible mould... it's just not worth the full Deluxe RRP IMO. Would be nicer with darker colours too. Had this toy been sold for $20-23, then I'd have less gripes... but $28-30? :/

Am I the only one here that thinks FOC version is waaaaaay better than the WFC version? Yes it's small buts the only downside IMO.

Yeah, it looks a lot better in appearance than WFC and that simple transformation is way better than the over-complicated one. It's much more accurate and G1 looking at the same time.

I always see him for $23.75 at Kmart. Every Kmart I've been to has 10+ of the things. I'm seeing him to much now

I agree. It's a shame his so small though, but I absolutely love him. For some reason I find him quite the center piece.

I got this toy in August and made that comment in October -- I hadn't seen it in Kmart (had anyone else?). At that time, as far as I knew, it was only available at Uncle Pete's for $29-something (close to $30). So I paid full RRP and I don't think it's worth it. If you can get it for less than that - at Kmart's price, then yeah sure, that's not so bad.

Look, if your kids want something to play with, this is a good toy. For prime lovers, this is one of the worse prime.
