YOTR Platinum Edition Hybrid Style G1 Optimus Prime

That is rather disappointing.
A bit of a letdown after years of blinged up or redecoed toys, with this one looking like it could be just a reissue in a new box.
I am happy that they have scaled back on the size being offered as a CNY toy, as most have been very expensive because of their size... but I'm not a big fan of this toy, particularly if it is the same as the previous release.

At least give us a new hat!

He's only about 10.5cm tall.

Pretty small. I didn't have any shots of it with Optimus, but I did take one of him next to animated activator Bumblebee

The Hybrid Style was a collaboration to celebrate Transformers soomethingth anniversary and Microman's somethingth anniversary as well. The idea was to apply Microman levels of articulation to Transformers.

Galaxy Convoy was about the same size. I have a comparison shot with him and the original toy

I'm not sure having a c0ck logo would be appropriate or to everyone's taste. The previous year's logos were hideous imo.

Dude, you can say cock. It's not an offensive word in this context since you're using it for its proper meaning (synonym for rooster). Don't be so chicken.

In all seriousness, I'm a little disappointed with the use of this small-scaled mould. Optimus Prime YotD, YotS, YotH, YotG were of decent size.

I'm annually disappointed that they always go with Optimus Prime and never choose an alt mode that's relevant to the Lunar calendar's patron animal.



Of course, the big dilemma that we're facing with the upcoming New Year is that there is NO chicken Transformer. It's something that I've been wishing for for ages now, but alas HasTak have never sought to make one. But even another birdformer would've been preferable to a truck. Or at very least redeco the trailer with the logo of a poultry company (then it'd really be poultry in motion ).

The box artwork is fantastic , pitty the toy is poo. Anyone who doesn't want the box if they buy one. This bloke will have it

Don't egg him on...

Those jokes are just fowl

Not my fault. I poached them from Goki.
