2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

There are certain figures in ones collection that, for one reason or another, put a smile on your face. This figure does just that. As a kid I could only dream of ever owning an Optimus Prime action figure. Transformers were usually more expensive than GI Joe figures so I hardly had any as a kid. The mini's mostly.  I knew that when Hasbro announced they would be releasing reissues, Optimus had to be on that list and I was going to have to track one down. I'm not sure how true this one is to the original but it's close enough for me. Glad I was able to finally add it to my collection 🚛

You guys don't know how long I've had this figure In my sights.It's been on my Ebay watch list for months ,multiple times. Everytime I see It on Wal Mart shelves I smh at the $50 price tag.I almost took the plunge on the knock off from China but I was afraid of something going wrong during shipping.Finally,one of the Prime's In my watch list dropped to an even $30 and I bought It for myself as an early birthday gift to me :) That boxart Is downright hypnotizing!You can't help but feel like a kid again when cracking open these reissues! Now,I'm no vintage Transformers aficionado,but according to You tubers that are,these Prime reissues are far from being exact replicas.Well,for one It comes without the trailer.The colors are also a little brighter and the fists are a bit smaller than the originals. Here's Prime without the stickers. I gotta tell ya,my decal game Is way off these days.At certain points It felt like I was disarming an I.E.D. S...

This was another toy acquired In that small hand me down haul I received a couple of weeks ago.I donated alot of the other stuff but decided this was a keeper.Even though It doesn't transform,It's  much larger than my voyager Optimus and displays well with 3 3/4 figures. There's a handle on the back which allows for easy play when Optimus Is In flight mode.It works really well and Is a lot of fun ,actually, flinging him around with the flight sounds activated. Below are a couple of pics that convey the actual scale of this figure.He's about the height of a Marvel Titans figure but has a ways to go to catch up to Lanard's King Kong figure.                            I love the face sculpt ,especially when the eyes light up blue!Check out the                                        ...

It's that time again,people.A lull has struck and the influx of toys has come to a screeching hault!For a little while anyways.But this Is a good thing because now I get to appreciate what I do  have.I used to have a "Favorite 5 Right Now " segment where I would post the 5 figures that I was currently digging the most In my collection.Things have changed  a bit as far as how I look at my figures.Yeah there will always be that one that I tend to focus on  ,but I'm starting to realize that how I display them plays a big part  In what catches my eye the most.It's weird ,I know.But many who know me In real life will tell you that I'm weird ,so, there ya go.So I'm changing these posts name from "Favorite 5 Right Now" to "Figure Fixation".Because that's what happens.I get fixated on a figure for one reason or another,pick It up and take a picture of It.It's kind of like exorcising the fixation. Chameleon here has really grown on me...
