Hot Toys are releasing an Optimus Prime figure. I know you canāt see it, but my wallet is suddenly flapping around like a bat, and Iām having a devil of a time trying to catch it.
The 30cm figure, based on Primeās G1 design, is actually Starscream-inspired, and for whatever reason ā I canāt remember this ever happening ā has the Autobot leader rocking Starscreamās wings and arm cannons.
It looks pretty stupid, so thankfully you can remove them all and just have Prime standing there in his articulated, highly-detailed glory. Iāve got an old masterpiece Prime, which I thought was going to be the ultimate Optimus figure for the rest of time (and in some ways might still be, since this one doesnāt transform), but I guess his reign had to come to an end sooner or later.
Be warned: heās selling for $350.
