Toy Review: Transformers Animated Optimus Prime Plush


Review:  #163
Name:  Optimus Prime
Brand:  Transformers
Allegiance:  Autobot
Line:  Animated
Year of Release:  2010
Size Class:  Plush
Variations:  none

PLUSH:


For those who are unfamiliar, this plush version of Animated Optimus Prime was released in Japan only, and apparently part of those claw machines.  There are supposedly plush version of Bumblebee, Starscream and Megatron as well.


Needless to say, this plush is an extremely cute version of Optimus.  He looks amazing and he has an elastic loop on the top of his head so you can hang it somewhere (doorknob or from a nail for example).


Most of the character's detailing is evident here, he's instantly recognisable for what he is.  The head is proportionally big but this works in his favour.


The quality of fabric used it decent except for the ones used for his gauntlets.  Not only are the colour a lighter blue which looks odd but also feels more flimsy/thin (and feels as if it would be easily torn).


Make no mistake, this is a small plush, approximately the size of a Deluxe figure.

OVERALL:

A very cute plush of Animated Optimus.  Seriously, he looks great and makes for a nice decorative piece (currently have him in my room).  Recommended, especially if you can get him for a cheap price (he isn't too expensive on the secondary market).  It seems that this line of plushes faded away after they were announced.
