Power Of The Primes: Outback

Here's another cheap find! I bought Outback for a little over $2 and he's a steal. I also wish that they stuck with giving you the same character card as the figure with the Kingdom line. Giving you random characters is pretty dumb. He's built like a dwarf, short and stocky and looks like he'd be the first one to jump into a fight. I absolutely love the head sculpt. His firearm shield acts as a gun as well, I think. I don't know what these decals mean. My copy has a gap between the cab and the back of the SUV. Ugly back... Nice bottom view though, no visible robot parts. That ugly gap. Titan Masters love him. I think that the original retail price for him was too much. At around $14 he's too expensive and I guess that's why he still warms shelves to this day along with Cindersaur. Still, he's nice to have around as a desk bot and my son loves to play with him. ___________________________________________________________________________________ I'm sta...

Optimus Primal

  Warning: Massive photo dump TLDR: Get this figure. I know that for a Voyager class toy this one is on the small side but he is hefty, the plastic is so much better than past TF toys I've had, and the details are amazing.  Box art is amazing. I'm loving how they've decided to show more of the packaging illustration on the box. This is, of course, because of Hasbro's efforts to minimize the use of plastic in their packaging, as such a smaller window and a bigger space for the art. I wish I was able to draw some packaging art for this line hehe. So I do not have a proper photo shoot area at the moment but hey, I'm really digging how fun it is to use my monitor and Ipad as a backdrop. Bot mode is where this figure really shines. It's a modern take on the old Beast Wars toy: better proportions, articulation and detail. This massive chest gap is one of the few things that I do not like about this figure. Its there and its huge. Articulated hands! Plus its got wrist ...
