25th Optimus now out in Oz.

DO NOT BUY THIS
I bought this...it was definitely not worth the money I paid for it. Seriously do not buy it, unless you want to waste money. I think the 20th anniversary Prime was the best one ever made. This one is dare I say, stupid. And pointless. Unless you want to be disappointed...

What didn't you like about it? I gave mine repro smokestacks and encore primes trailer... he looks great in vehicle mode. I then gave the 25th trailer fresh decepticon labels and put it on my custom g1 decepticon black prime.

yea well...i suppose that wouldn't be too bad, but I just think its not what most people are expecting...and in my opinion its not exactly the best Optimus Prime ever made. Altho it would be interesting to see some pics...of your custom.

...this is why I get my reissues from Japan.

I think the relevant main issues seem to be:

- pink chest,
- short smokestacks,
- long missiles,
- odd choice of grey for the trailer and
- iffy quality control.

G1 Optimus Prime will forever be the number 1 toy of all time, especially for those kids born in the late seventies that got him for christmas in 1984/1985.



The masterpiece version is just a tribute to this great toy... nothing will ever touch the original. Having said that the 25th release is probably the poorest representation so far.
