Transformers Tokyo Toy Fair 2012 Shining Optimus Prime

Transformers Tokyo Toy Fair 2012 Shining Optimus Prime

This is using the Transformers Prime First Edition Mold of Optimus Prime.

The clear version...something like the crystal convoy. Always had a soft spot for Black and clear pieces, so this is a must get.

Had this piece for awhile already and threw away the box/packaging.

Just didn't like the smoke stacks. Mold is good. Transformation is not too complicated. easily understood.

Don't really like the Transformers Prime series...if not for clear and black and Starscream, i would never get this series of transformers. I predict the TFP series would end up as TFA (Transformers Animated)...if it really ends up like TFA, remember...You read it here first!

Tokyo Toy Fair 2012 Black Henkei Convoy

Transformers Tokyo Toy Fair 2012 Black Henkei Convoy

This was released together with the Shining Optimus Prime, which is the clear version of the Transformers Prime First Edition Optimus Prime Mold...i'll cover that later..

The toymakers finally released this piece...

The Black Henkei Convoy was mothballed for many years, having the first glimpse in 2007 as a wonderfest special? Very limited prototypes in the market and definitely alot of K.Os...

but believe me, i have the K.O version as well, th quality is nowhere near the original...ditto about the wonderfest prototype though...

Compared to the Universe Nemesis Convoy, this one looks so much better with the red windows.

Blue windows are just not fierce enough for Nemesis Convoy!!

Comparing this to the K.O piece, the quality is really excellent for the original...

The face sculpt is clearer and well-defined.

Transformation is smoother and the parts where it clicks and fits together, actually fits nicely.

Really glad they finally issued this...as the wonderfest prototype is super rare as well as super expensive!!
