Nothing is of interest these days and please, enough of Vehicon...day in day out, it's all about Transformers Prime (TFP) and Vehicons...*yawn*
Again (for the umpteen times), what's with Vehicon!!??? Everyone seems to go ga-ga over this figure...*arrghhh*....
So, I thought it would be good to review something not-so-new, sort of a 'crossover' which probably did not garner enough attention since its release last year...
A sneak peek...
So, what has Milk got to do with Optimus Prime? Following the footsteps of an apparel company and its collaboration with Hasbro, Milk Magazine (basically, a Hongkong fashion magazine) released two versions of DOTM deluxe class Optimus Prime in conjunction with its 10th anniversary.
These two figures are apparently, exclusive and limited in nature...and the best part of it, they are hand-painted, comes in a premium paint job version (quite similar with the mass market release version) and black version (some says it resembles Black Convoy while others, Sleep Convoy). Whatever it is, I'm sold on the black...(couldn't manage to get my hands on the premium version though, so can't really compare...)
A real celebration in Prime style..haha...how apt...these figures were given away as commemorative gifts. I got mine off the market, fashion magazine ain't my cup of tea...
Yes, confirmed - it's by Hasbro...
Simple packaging...Prime with its Mechtech weapon

As this is hand-painted, didn't want to risk playing with it excessively...just by fiddling with it, I noticed some paint remnant on my palm. So, I stopped at the robot mode. If you really want to see it in alternate / vehicle mode, just google...cheers!
