Hi guys, new guy here,

just out of curiosity, if I were interested of buying Optimus Prime, what should I look for?

The Optimus Prime that I'm interested in is the G1, which in the late 1980s I had one but didn't bother for it along with other of my toys. Back then the only one I would 'sayang' was Liano, coz he so macho and cool. I also had the PowerMaster Optimus Prime which I hate because all was plastic and not metal like my previous Optimus.

So now, to relived my boyhood memories, I decided to get some of the memorable figurine starting with Optimus. I looked at the first page of this thread, and also went to ebay.

Of course getting a 1980s Hasbro one is out of the question (Not gonna spulrge that kinda money on just OP, better get Gibson Les Paul Custom )

But I did find a couple of sellers on the bay, selling what looks like the same packaging and content but not from Hasbro. And its cheaper, my question is;

-is it ok to get those?
-what are they? Licensed copy? Unlicensed? Fake? China atempt of faking OP?
-is it ok to buy a non-Hasbro figurines in terms of Transformers?

selamat hari raya!!

1) Is it from Takara perhaps? Takara is the Japanese co-license holder for Transformers. Anything from Takara or Hasbro is ori.

2) How nostalgic do you want to be? What about a modernized version of G1 Prime that looks just like the cartoon? Check out Optimus Prime Masterpiece (MP10). He's widely regarded as the best G1 Prime available today:



3) If you're looking for a representation of G1 Prime, in my opinion there are no unlicensed/third party figures worth getting. Best bet is either MP10 or a reissue of the original G1 toy.

Takara reissued g1 op together with dotm op in one package under the chronicle line if im not mistaken. Same goes for megs. Price still around rm200+ last time i checked.

Mp10 is super cool too but i still prefer mp01 due to the details plus in some way in remind me more of the cartoon g1 op. Price as at now is damn high though.

Why do the upper legs on that KM Annihilator look like they haven't been pulled out?

3p collectors, are you guys ready to make your wallets bleed? 

TFC Thanatos & Minos (LIOKAISER!!!!)

OMG OMG OMG OMG, Liokaiser!!!!!!              

Its like dream come true for me!!!!!

I know, right? What makes it better is that they no longer has that TFC boxy aesthetic which is a plus. Hopefully they still have the combiner parts intergrated inside like the G1 toy. Wonder if they'll do a DeathCobra for this guy?

1) This is it;
Transformers G1 Optimus Prime (Factory Stock) - RM160
http://www.ebay.com.my/itm/Transformers-G1...=item4199847cef

However these have either Takara or Hasbro brandings;
a) NEW Takara Tomy Encore Transformers G1 Optimus Prime MISB - RM279
http://www.ebay.com.my/itm/NEW-Takara-Tomy...=item58c93183df

b) Transformers G1 Optimus Prime Commemorative Series MISB - RM380
http://www.ebay.com.my/itm/Transformers-G1...=item1c56528cd1

According to this youtube user, he got a knockoff OP but with no trailer



2. Of course the classic look, the red body blue legs  . The modern tajam-tajam OP isn't my childhood hero 
If MP10 Masterpiece, mostly I found is RM590-RM700. That I assume is the normal price for TomyTakara right?
Any links for the "Takara reissued g1 op together with dotm op in one package under the chronicle line" for RM200+ ? 

Maybe not yet for MP01
