G-Shock X Transformers Optimus Prime

[FruitBuyer]

The robot mode and Pedestool mode (love your work, Megatran) might have been more appealing to me if it was a new character^.

I wonder if designs like this are only poorly received by us but are actually desired in the Asian markets?

^ I get that if they Optimus Prime everything they have the opportunity to milk us for every dollar we have via a white Ultra Magnus variant followed by a black Nemesis Prime variant - just like Pen Prime, Shoe Prime, Popsicle Prime and Hat Prime/Hat Megatron.

Brand recognition and hardcore collectors aren't the target audience.

If you do a cross over with something, you don't do it for something the mainstream audience won't recognise. You do it to feature their big guns otherwise the point of a cross-over is wasted.

I understand their commercial interests, and it's the most logical choice going with the most recognisable character + the more favoured faction.

I guess I was just surprised by the demand for these figs after seeing the sold out RK pre-order.
