I know we've seen lots of Fast Action Battler Optimus pics already, But I don't think we've seen boxed pics so far So there you go Available on ebay (and more pics): http://cgi.ebay.com/Transformers-movie-2007-optimus-prime-MISB_W0QQitemZ270112369554QQihZ017QQcategoryZ753QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem (sorry if this not news, searched the forums and didn’t find anything about this..)
I guess this is gonna have to be the next best thing if they don't make a normal deluxe Earth mode Prime. Poopies. And the packaging's kinda blah, eh?
I don't think there's any "seem to" about it. These are definite a parallel to SM and Friends stuff and Jedi force/SW Force Battlers.
Makes sense that'd they'd want to appeal to younger kids too, they seem to be going all out as far as merchandising for the movie.
Yeah, anyone who follows Hasbro's other properties can easily find the parallels in every Transformers movie item being released out there to another item Hasbro has released at one time or another.
