I'm right there with ya- this Optimus Prime is THE COOLEST! Like you, I got him because he's 1:18 scale- though I display him with mostly Marvel Universe figures! I have Captain America on his shoulder. He's on top of my display cabinet since I don't have a USS Flag...
Finally a scale review with G.I. Joes!! That was the deciding factor of me wanting to buy it. I always wanted at least one in scale Transformer for my Joes also. The cross over vehicles were cool but they didn't transform. Just retooled G.I. Joe vehicles. This displays better.
Hey glad you like the packaging. I was lucky enough to create the packaging art for this as well as the interior Ark art. I actually have been waiting to open mine up for a long time and am tempted to do so during during this whole quarantine nonsense. Enjoying your videos.
I agree with Bob, you just won me over as a subscriber. I love your voice. Some reviewers put on a sort of DJ voice and try too hard. Listening to your reviews it sounds like chatting with a friend. And I totally loved the comparison with the GI Joe figures, and the USS Flagg. Keep up the great videos. Oh, and I think Mega Optimus could beat both G1 Maximus and Titans Returns Maximus in a fight. There, I said it.
Im not much of a toy collector anymore but i still have my old Optimus from when i was kid and when i saw this one for sale at Toys R Us i had to get it. Awsome collection man you brought me back to my childhood.
I like it when you express your thoughts and never drive me bored. You are so honest and your videos are amazing! Your videos are masterpieces! You deserve to have more then a million subscribers!
I completely agree with your opinions of this figure, and transformers figures in general. The robot mode is definitely the form that matters most to me and this one looks absolutely incredible.
Hi Mike. Its been awhile. The last time I wrote you I gushed over MAS-01. That is until I went out and got Lewin Prime. Lewin Atlas Prime is everything they said he was and is. He is big and glorious. Robot mode and truck mode is unreal. He has alot of diecast and light up features. I know you said you weren't interested but Mike you need to see him in person. You would love him. Now I aint sayin MAS-01 isnt still glorious because he is but Lewin Atlas Prime is just way way beyond glorious. He is a must have buddy.
He looks amazing. I actually liked the action masters. I liked that they were all the same size. So fighting wise they were all on an even playing field imo
I have a very small Takara Tomy "Convoy" (Optimus, of course) figure that's just like the cartoon and at least allows me to get my G1 fix--Megatron and "Bumble" (I think they meant Bumblebee) are featured on the same tiny display. Lacking either space or funds here in Japan, that'll just have to do for now. Love your videos. Your passion not just for toys, but how they make you feel and what they mean to you as a person, genuinely comes through. You're excited about what you like, and nice about what you don't. Finally, the lack of cynicism and true empathy for others is a comfort. Keep it up!
Thats really cool I'm a 80's boomer and had most of the Transformers. Prime has always been my favorite But he should Transforme. Its cool thanks for sharing bro.
This video is so awesome, I had to send it to my brother-in-law is a huge Transformers fan! I'm sure he'll get a kick out of it! I'm a M.O.T.U fan myself, but hey, the 80's was awesome to be kid for both toys and cartoons - boy or girl!
imagine optimus with those glowy, just stare at you and say" dont worry, i am optimus prime will destroys those pesky decepticons while you sleep micheal." and suddently your room has become a warfare
Great review - went out and bought one soon after I saw this. I also have the MAS-02 Megatron and they look awesome together. Question for anyone that has these - do the eyes on yours get a little dimmer after a few minutes of being lit? Both my MAS-01 and MAS-02 do this. I'm assuming it's a battery-saving feature, but just curious....
Damn...if I only had the money....this looks so realistic, it feels like *the* Optimus Prime was shrunken down and has just come to visit us for the time being...must be a mass-displacement sequence, still, this is definitely something I'd display
I love your videos and I am a huge fan because you don't seem like your trying to make a quick buck. Instead it seems like you genuinely enjoy doing this as your job
Awesome review Mike and it's because of your review I ordered MAS-01 Optimus Prime. He arrives at my house today. I was on the fense for months whether I wanted to get him or not but because of your review I got him. Thanks for the great review.
I normally dont subscribe to youtube channels but this review and the figure being reviewed just blew me away. Thanks for this review i have decided to get him.
Awesome review and figure, considering the price, this piece is by far the best one out there, the only thing I want is the head if slightly bigger it will look much better, thanks for your nice review.
An ABSOLUTE UNIT! I’m still in the midst of collecting MPs, but I would definitely love to get a hold of this Prime later down the future, definitely can see why you’re so excited about this. Definitely a jewel to have among a collection, especially for a fan like yourself Like many, I never really been much of a fan for a Transformer that doesn’t transform! But something of this quality and detail...well heck man no complaints. Wonderful review as always!
I just discovered your channel and I must say I love it. Instant subscriber here. Keep up the good work. I would love to have a collection as cool as yours.
Just received this item today in the mail unfortunately the head is not attached to prime. Do you know if the head is detachable and fell off in shipping possibly or is it broken
I preorderd one of these for my friend for chistmas..still waiting! I went with the other one that's 800 dollar one. It's heavier because of all the diecast, about 15 or so pounds. But this is massive!!
One of the advantage of living in Canada I suppose; with how high shipping costs from the States have become, it's the same price to order directly from overseas now. :D
Great video, and I agree with the other comment about doing a room tour, I'd love to see your collection. I would like to add that the hip joints on this guy are TIGHT, and feel like they're going to snap while rotating the legs front and back. I've seen one picture on their Facebook page of a customer with a broken hip joint already, so be careful posing him.
Thanks! I'll definitely do a room tour some day but it'll take quite a while to do, so I'll have to wait for another vacation. Good to know about the hip joints, thanks for the heads up! :D
Yeah you sold this guy to me. I was using masterpiece to go with the original joes, but seeing this figure with the modern figures, that hits the sweet spot.
I was going to pass on this initially but you won me over too. I hope they don't go crazy with this line though and dilute the awe factor. Megatron will be nice and maybe a few more. But I don't need the entire line resized like with Masterpiece (nor do I have the room). There's something special about having one larger than life hero (or villain) standing tall over your collection.
Agreed, less is more with this big boys. Prime looks awesome with the Joes, so a Mega Megatron should look just as good standing next to the Terror Drome. :D
I hear that Toys Alliance will release the Megaton MAS-02 this fall. I hope they'll also do Soundwave. Just image the size of Devastator if made for this line. Holy Cow!!
Mercy Me!! Hey Michael, you got my subscription when you rolled out the Ultimate Flagg (EPIC!) So now I can only heap praise on ya I'm afraid...😉 Great vid as usual..clean smooth camera work and calm, crisp, clear audio. I am 100% FOR SHOOOR getting this Prime..I happen to agree with you across all points in regards to keeping my Transformers in one mode so the fact that he doesn't transform doesn't bother me since the trade-off is stupendous articulation, fantastic paint apps and an overall aesthetic that would be impossible to achieve with a mold that is broken up in a million different places. I'm not exactly sure why they decided to go with black fingers but I am glad they left the back of his hands blue. He just looks damn impressive and when you displayed him with the Joe's that was it - slam dunk. I'm actually more of a Joe collector than a Transformers collector but I'm more of a Transformers fan if that makes any sense so to see the two come together in toy form so seamlessly make the nine year old me fist pump while I reach for my allowance. Great job!!!! ENJOY PRIME!
One more thing...the high gloss cardboard box insert that has the orange Ark graphics on it will be another great display piece for other MP figures...Bonus!
Hi Michael .... quick question - how does it stack up with the 3A Optimus prime movie version ? Wanted to display it with the movie prime both together.
I had no interest in any of these big figures until i saw this in person at Ages 3 & Up, and WOW. I thought it was going to be $300-500. I think i might need one, if i can find room. Thanks for the helpful review and btw your editing is hilarious :D
when ever i get my alowence i like to buy a transformer because ever sence my dad intraduced me to it ive been in love by the way love your videos when i get home i get to learn more about transformers thanks to you
This figure is...AWSOME!!, But I am still disturbed by having it not transform. The people who made this could have added a Truck mode for Optimus to compensate for a lack of a transformation.
@MichaelMercy I really enjoyed this review. Mine should be arriving from BBTS this coming Wednesday April 19th. I can hardly wait. BTW, cool USS FLAGG display. Mine is complete and in it's original box. Too big for the mancave. Best wishes.
I plan on doing so once my garage is set up. I just checked out your 360 review of the FLAGG and you gave me some wonderful ideas. I also love how you have the Mobile Command Center and Cobra Terrordrome. I own both myself and when I get the garage completed those will be on display there. Again, I love the reviews. Keep up the excellent work. Til all are one.
Very cool Optimus Prime very scaled articulation helps it it does not have to transform and being associated with the GI Joes and always on your u.s. flag I enjoyed that is very cool man I'm a big fan of Transformers and GI Joe I wish they had a cartoon back in the day together I mean
Great review, just got mine today from BBTS! Quick question -- do you have any links to the $1k Optimus you mentioned? I have no intention of buying something that expensive but I am curious to see what it looks like. Thanks!
If it transformed, it would probably be twice the price since it would need to be made of sturdier material.
7 ปีที่แล้ว
Michael Mercy maybe, but only certain parts. I ordered my, it's on the way, but as I see from reviews it seems to be quite sturdy already. Still, at this size, I'd happily pay even 300 USD if it would transform. But I saw an interview with one of the heads of Threea (I can't remember where I saw it), he says that they can't make one that transforms because of licensing. Basically only Hasbro/Takara can make licensed transformers that transform. Too bad. Still, if someday someone makes a ko version this size that transforms, I'd probably buy it.
I pretty much had my finger on the button to buy one of these when I heard someone liken the plastic to that of metroplex which gave me serious second thoughts. Do you find that it feels hollow? Fantastic video!
It's not as heavy as I expected but he certainly doesn't feel hollow. Did you see the part of the video where he's doing the split-legged kick? He's one of the sturdiest figures ever made. I can barely get my Metroplex to stand straight up with two legs.
Mike. I gotta say I have watched this video ton's of time's. And even though I own MAS-01 I still love your vid no matter how many times I watch it. Everyone is gushing over the new big Lewin Prime but not me. To me its a waste of money on a KO of MPP10 Optimus from Wei Jiang and way to big for my taste. Anyway. MAS-01 is perfect for me and a perfect representation of Optimus Prime. Now I must get Megatron to do battle with him!
I love it! I also display most of my Transformers in robot mode so I don't care for this figure not being transformerble. If I was a millionaire I would buy it...
Your collection is Amazing, I'm actually salivating right now..., joes joes joes bots bots bots! Good luck finding anything your missing friend, show more pics when able. Blessings2U, btw great joe interview w/buzz
This brought tears to my eyes. Just like when I saw the episode where Optimus dies. Thanks for the review Mr Mercy. Where would we be without passion, right?
Thanks Robin! It's great that they've finally been able to capture the powerful aura of Optimus Prime again. There's been a lot of G1 Optimus toys since 1984, but this one of the few that feels very special.
![G1 Transformers STAR CONVOY Retrospective [Patreon Special Missions]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/ZZmXrVUOFiI/mqdefault.jpg)
This is probably the most beautiful robot ever made.
Looks better than a Masterpiece Optimus Prime
I'm right there with ya- this Optimus Prime is THE COOLEST! Like you, I got him because he's 1:18 scale- though I display him with mostly Marvel Universe figures! I have Captain America on his shoulder. He's on top of my display cabinet since I don't have a USS Flag...
Picked up the Nemesis version not too long ago. Freaking love that thing.
Finally a scale review with G.I. Joes!! That was the deciding factor of me wanting to buy it. I always wanted at least one in scale Transformer for my Joes also. The cross over vehicles were cool but they didn't transform. Just retooled G.I. Joe vehicles. This displays better.
Optimus prime will always be an ultimate autobot hero through 30 plus years and he still is today and forever.
Hey glad you like the packaging. I was lucky enough to create the packaging art for this as well as the interior Ark art. I actually have been waiting to open mine up for a long time and am tempted to do so during during this whole quarantine nonsense. Enjoying your videos.
Ok now I desperately want more TFs in this scale to go with ALL OF THE 3.75 inch figures to ever exist
Just ordered mine...….so overjoyed...….cant wait. Love your videos by the way.
Thanks Bill. Enjoy the big bot!
I agree with Bob, you just won me over as a subscriber. I love your voice. Some reviewers put on a sort of DJ voice and try too hard. Listening to your reviews it sounds like chatting with a friend. And I totally loved the comparison with the GI Joe figures, and the USS Flagg. Keep up the great videos. Oh, and I think Mega Optimus could beat both G1 Maximus and Titans Returns Maximus in a fight. There, I said it.
Thanks! He might win a fight, but maybe not a dance off! Both Fort Max's can do the splits better. :D
Im not much of a toy collector anymore but i still have my old Optimus from when i was kid and when i saw this one for sale at Toys R Us i had to get it. Awsome collection man you brought me back to my childhood.
Great review. You can feel your love for Optimus plus great work with the og clips throughout
I just got mine today, 4 years later!
I like it when you express your thoughts and never drive me bored. You are so honest and your videos are amazing! Your videos are masterpieces! You deserve to have more then a million subscribers!
Thanks! Nerdmasté! 🙏
5:35 is that laser vision optimus had, though then again I think there is one episode where optimus shot lasers from his hands I think?
I completely agree with your opinions of this figure, and transformers figures in general. The robot mode is definitely the form that matters most to me and this one looks absolutely incredible.
Best production I've seen in a TF review! The video cues in the corner were spot on across the board. Subscribed!!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Roll out! :D

Great work on this review Mike, the clips you interspersed throughout were funny and fit so well. Fantastic stuff.
This is a beautiful piece of engineering

He looks amazing.
I actually liked the action masters. I liked that they were all the same size. So fighting wise they were all on an even playing field imo
Beautiful Piece...

Getting mine to hopefully from big bad toy store so excited to get him
Thats really cool I'm a 80's boomer and had most of the Transformers. Prime has always been my favorite But he should Transforme. Its cool thanks for sharing bro.
This video is so awesome, I had to send it to my brother-in-law is a huge Transformers fan! I'm sure he'll get a kick out of it! I'm a M.O.T.U fan myself, but hey, the 80's was awesome to be kid for both toys and cartoons - boy or girl!
Yup, definitely the golden age of toys and toons. :D
And I ordered one from BBTS after watching this! KILLER work on this video!
imagine optimus with those glowy, just stare at you and say" dont worry, i am optimus prime will destroys those pesky decepticons while you sleep micheal." and suddently your room has become a warfare
I want to thank you man. I just got this today and the only reason I did was because of this video. Thank you Michael.
Enjoy! :D

You need the matching Megatron now.
Awesome review Mike and it's because of your review I ordered MAS-01 Optimus Prime. He arrives at my house today. I was on the fense for months whether I wanted to get him or not but because of your review I got him. Thanks for the great review.
Hope you enjoy him! Maybe I should be doing commercials for these companies. :D
Yes I think you should! LOL
Just to give you an update Mike. I got my MAS-01 and he's the best version of Prime I have ever seen and owned. Again your review was spot on!!!
I normally dont subscribe to youtube channels but this review and the figure being reviewed just blew me away. Thanks for this review i have decided to get him.
Thanks Leo! :D
Awesome review and figure, considering the price, this piece is by far the best one out there, the only thing I want is the head if slightly bigger it will look much better, thanks for your nice review.
Thanks! I have a feeling a 3rd party will do some upgrades and add-ons for this big bot.
An ABSOLUTE UNIT!
I’m still in the midst of collecting MPs, but I would definitely love to get a hold of this Prime later down the future, definitely can see why you’re so excited about this.
Definitely a jewel to have among a collection, especially for a fan like yourself
Like many, I never really been much of a fan for a Transformer that doesn’t transform! But something of this quality and detail...well heck man no complaints.
Wonderful review as always!
I just discovered your channel and I must say I love it. Instant subscriber here. Keep up the good work. I would love to have a collection as cool as yours.
Wish he was still back in stock :(
Just received this item today in the mail unfortunately the head is not attached to prime. Do you know if the head is detachable and fell off in shipping possibly or is it broken
I have one on preorder. I want it now!
*THIS IS A MUST HAVE*
I preorderd one of these for my friend for chistmas..still waiting! I went with the other one that's 800 dollar one. It's heavier because of all the diecast, about 15 or so pounds. But this is massive!!
That's usually my story, but I ordered from Robot Kingdom and shipping was super fast and beautifully packed. Give them a try next time. :D
Good to know! I pre ordered it from TFsource . But Robot Kingdom kills me on the shipping
One of the advantage of living in Canada I suppose; with how high shipping costs from the States have become, it's the same price to order directly from overseas now. :D
AWESOME! cant wait to pick up mine!
I just ordered mine
omg that is an amazing figure, and with the carrier and the JOEs, you are lucky, i wish i could have something like that.
Thanks! Yup they go great together.
Did any Transformer toys come with energon cubes, or were they only in the cartoons?
I don't remember seeing any energon cubes made by Hasbro in the 80s.
What did this sucker cost when it came out? Also, if this is licensed, I wonder if any of the ones available on eBay are knock offs.
Brilliant review! Got the Megatron preordered
Nice!
Is there a titan sized Optimus out there?
He is my hero too top 1 of all transformers
My man, you gotta get MS-02 light of peace
Do you have the Megatron too? And have you seen the Soundwave they have done that is coming out some time this year?
Nope, only have room for one of these giants. :D
@@MichaelMercy I'm sure for Soundwave you could make space 😀
2:50 TRUE!!! Beg for mercy!!!!
Great video, and I agree with the other comment about doing a room tour, I'd love to see your collection. I would like to add that the hip joints on this guy are TIGHT, and feel like they're going to snap while rotating the legs front and back. I've seen one picture on their Facebook page of a customer with a broken hip joint already, so be careful posing him.
Thanks! I'll definitely do a room tour some day but it'll take quite a while to do, so I'll have to wait for another vacation. Good to know about the hip joints, thanks for the heads up! :D
Awesome collection dude
Thank you!
Michael Mercy you gotta do a room tour
Some day...when I have a lot of time for filming & editing. :)
Yeah you sold this guy to me. I was using masterpiece to go with the original joes, but seeing this figure with the modern figures, that hits the sweet spot.
Haha, I'll contact Toys Alliance for my percentage. ;)
I was going to pass on this initially but you won me over too. I hope they don't go crazy with this line though and dilute the awe factor. Megatron will be nice and maybe a few more.

He'd be the height of an adult! :D
Leper King they just released a teaser for soundwave a few days ago! It looks like he’s gonna look amazing!
Mercy Me!! Hey Michael, you got my subscription when you rolled out the Ultimate Flagg (EPIC!) So now I can only heap praise on ya I'm afraid...😉
Great vid as usual..clean smooth camera work and calm, crisp, clear audio.
I am 100% FOR SHOOOR getting this Prime..I happen to agree with you across all points in regards to keeping my Transformers in one mode so the fact that he doesn't transform doesn't bother me since the trade-off is stupendous articulation, fantastic paint apps and an overall aesthetic that would be impossible to achieve with a mold that is broken up in a million different places. I'm not exactly sure why they decided to go with black fingers but I am glad they left the back of his hands blue. He just looks damn impressive and when you displayed him with the Joe's that was it - slam dunk. I'm actually more of a Joe collector than a Transformers collector but I'm more of a Transformers fan if that makes any sense so to see the two come together in toy form so seamlessly make the nine year old me fist pump while I reach for my allowance. Great job!!!! ENJOY PRIME!
One more thing...the high gloss cardboard box insert that has the orange Ark graphics on it will be another great display piece for other MP figures...Bonus!
Thanks! Yup, he's definitely got a Joe-look to him. Wouldn't look as good alongside the Joes if he had the more traditional Optimus look to him.
We need something like this as devistator. (In scale with power of the primes and such.
I'm jealous, dude. This looks sweet, but I don't have the money.
One shall stand, one shall fall.
He’s Glorious 😎🤙🏼
The transformation would have been cool, but most would display in robot mode so I think it’s not really necessary
Awesome review man!
Thanks! :D
There is a higher ups Banker in Birmingham Alabama that has three G1 Optimus Prime's in his office
Hi Michael .... quick question - how does it stack up with the 3A Optimus prime movie version ? Wanted to display it with the movie prime both together.
Don't know, I don't have the 3A Optimus.
Awesome review man, seriously, great :) And great collection behind too, congrats!!
Thanks!
I had no interest in any of these big figures until i saw this in person at Ages 3 & Up, and WOW. I thought it was going to be $300-500. I think i might need one, if i can find room.
Thanks for the helpful review and btw your editing is hilarious :D
He certainly takes up a lot of space! Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. :D
when ever i get my alowence i like to buy a transformer because ever sence my dad intraduced me to it ive been in love by the way love your videos when i get home i get to learn more about transformers thanks to you
Are you going to pick up the MAS-02 Megatron?
Nope, can't afford it.
Hello,
what is the difference between Alphamax Optimus Prime and Toys Alliance Optimus Prime?
Great figure! May I know which part is die-cast? Thanks!
I don't think any of it is die-cast.
Michael Mercy Thanks for the update!
This figure is...AWSOME!!, But I am still disturbed by having it not transform. The people who made this could have added a Truck mode for Optimus to compensate for a lack of a transformation.
@MichaelMercy I really enjoyed this review. Mine should be arriving from BBTS this coming Wednesday April 19th. I can hardly wait. BTW, cool USS FLAGG display. Mine is complete and in it's original box. Too big for the mancave. Best wishes.
Thanks! Aww, that's a tragedy, open it! :D
I plan on doing so once my garage is set up. I just checked out your 360 review of the FLAGG and you gave me some wonderful ideas. I also love how you have the Mobile Command Center and Cobra Terrordrome. I own both myself and when I get the garage completed those will be on display there. Again, I love the reviews. Keep up the excellent work. Til all are one.
3:23 I literally lol
Try your Kick-Pose with Defensor G1 ;)
Very cool Optimus Prime very scaled articulation helps it it does not have to transform and being associated with the GI Joes and always on your u.s. flag I enjoyed that is very cool man I'm a big fan of Transformers and GI Joe I wish they had a cartoon back in the day together I mean
Yeah too bad Sunbow never had a crossover, other than Hector Ramirez appearing on multiple shows. There's always the Marvel comic crossover though.
Great review, just got mine today from BBTS! Quick question -- do you have any links to the $1k Optimus you mentioned? I have no intention of buying something that expensive but I am curious to see what it looks like. Thanks!
It was called "Ultimetal Optimus Prime." Should be easy to google some reviews on it.
WOW! That's awesome!
Thanks! :D
Hey Micheal! Are you an artist?
I can't deny. I'd love if it would transform. I'd pay some 50-70 bucks extra for it too.
If it transformed, it would probably be twice the price since it would need to be made of sturdier material.
Michael Mercy maybe, but only certain parts. I ordered my, it's on the way, but as I see from reviews it seems to be quite sturdy already. Still, at this size, I'd happily pay even 300 USD if it would transform.
But I saw an interview with one of the heads of Threea (I can't remember where I saw it), he says that they can't make one that transforms because of licensing. Basically only Hasbro/Takara can make licensed transformers that transform. Too bad. Still, if someday someone makes a ko version this size that transforms, I'd probably buy it.
Be careful displaying this big guy on your shelf tho, there are several cases where its hip joints broke due to its weight
I pretty much had my finger on the button to buy one of these when I heard someone liken the plastic to that of metroplex which gave me serious second thoughts. Do you find that it feels hollow? Fantastic video!
It's not as heavy as I expected but he certainly doesn't feel hollow. Did you see the part of the video where he's doing the split-legged kick? He's one of the sturdiest figures ever made. I can barely get my Metroplex to stand straight up with two legs.
Oh yeah he clearly has much better joints. Thank you very much for your input!
That's a heck of a big guy. :-)
Mike. I gotta say I have watched this video ton's of time's. And even though I own MAS-01 I still love your vid no matter how many times I watch it. Everyone is gushing over the new big Lewin Prime but not me. To me its a waste of money on a KO of MPP10 Optimus from Wei Jiang and way to big for my taste. Anyway. MAS-01 is perfect for me and a perfect representation of Optimus Prime. Now I must get Megatron to do battle with him!
Awesome! Glad to hear it has replay value. Thanks Steve, roll out! :D
I m going to get one
Thumbs up and subscribed!!! Is this piece still available?
Thanks!
When megatron mentions harming elita one: 5:24
I want 2!
Your videos are great, but what is greater is that you care about the comments.
Thanks!
He's awesome
I love it!
I also display most of my Transformers in robot mode so I don't care for this figure not being transformerble.
If I was a millionaire I would buy it...
Exactly! :D You don't have to be a millionaire to own one, just a hundredaire. :D
LOL!!!
Your collection is Amazing, I'm actually salivating right now..., joes joes joes bots bots bots! Good luck finding anything your missing friend, show more pics when able. Blessings2U, btw great joe interview w/buzz
Thanks! More Toy Museum virtual tours coming soon. That was a fun chat with Buzz. :D
This brought tears to my eyes. Just like when I saw the episode where Optimus dies. Thanks for the review Mr Mercy. Where would we be without passion, right?
Thanks Robin! It's great that they've finally been able to capture the powerful aura of Optimus Prime again. There's been a lot of G1 Optimus toys since 1984, but this one of the few that feels very special.
nice review
Thanks!
Is that your collection Mercy?
Affirmative.
Awesome Review! POd MAS-01 a while ago...wanted to see a review... found you... subscribed 😀
Thanks! :D
Does this surpass Hot Toys Optimus Prime?
Depends on personal preference. They're also much different in size too.
