That’d be just Prime….

We’re starting to see toy companies announce their San Diego ComicCon exclusives, and here’s a pretty sweet looking one!
Diamond Select’s Optimus Prime bust looks really sweet. He’s done up to look like his G1 animated style, and even has the Matrix of Leadership in the base. I don’t usually get busts, I try to stick with my figures being “toys” but this bust is pretty tempting. I have most of the Optimus Prime figures they’ve made through the years and I make sure to only pick up the ones that actually “transform”. Prime has pretty much been my all time favorite hero. I’ve been a fan of his character ever since ‘84. There have been several different iterations of the character since ‘84, and tons of figures, but they’ve all kept a very similar design. The character has also stayed true to his roots. He’s a true hero, fighting for the rights and freedoms of all - even willing to sacrifice himself to protect those rights. His current iteration in the Transformers: Animated series is a reimagined version of him. He’s young and inexperienced but still stands up for his friends, and for the little guy. He still holds true to the never say die and self-sacrificing attitude, and he’s got a killer art style! ;-)

Not a bad role model, and he always looked better out of the package!
