![]() ![]() One of the better Gobot moulds, and while I'm impressed they painted his head blue, I wouldn't say vermilion, yellow and white isn't really Prime's gig. Recoloured as Firecracker (who is almost identical - clear red plastic, unpainted head), Gobot Sideswipe and R.E.V. His Japanese release had a blue "T" on it's hood. I give points for bothering to paint the head blue, but he loses points for the ineffective feet. I'm not sold on this colour scheme for Optimus Prime, but in itself it's okay. Play value is limited to the shoulders rotating - standard for a Gobot. There's not really too many other features that stand out here, but I'll mention the feet since they don't protrude forward at all and he has a tendency to fall forward. Prime has a red gun, he also has yellow feet formed from the tailpipes of the car mode. The yellow is a rich yellow, and not a canary yellow, which saves this toy from the garish look many G2 toys had. The upside of this is that he can't suffer from paint chips, and the downside that he's quite bright, thanks to the combination of yellow white and red. ![]() Unusually, his chest is not painted, but is the base plastic's colour. Like all Gobots, Prime's got a fairly bulky chest, shortish arms and is essentially tri-coloured (blue head aside). I do like the fact they bothered to paint his head for the character, none of the three other versions of this mould had their heads painted. Recognition aside, it's a decent colour scheme, and the four main colours work better in combination than you might expect. Sure, it's not the traditional Optimus Prime head & face, but the colours do just enough to make him Optimus Prime. Thankfully, they've actually gone and painted his head blue and his face silver. Now with a red chest, red arms, white thighs and yellow shins and feet, Prime looks even less like his traditional self that before. Pull down the rear to form the legs, fold down the hood to form the chest, pull out the arms. The moulding detail is good, the vermilion is a little bright for Prime, but is in itself a nice colour, if a little light for a real Diablo. Still, they could have done worse than a Diablo for him. One of the better Gobot moulds, but it doesn't really _feel_ like an Optimus Prime. That's about all for the play value, but for a $4 toy I'm not complaining. None of these details are painted, which makes most of them subtle, but this is appropriate for a Diablo, and considering that for a $4 toy the paint mask would have invariably been riddled with paint spills, I'm glad they left the details unpainted.Īs with all Gobots, Optimus Prime has front and rear axles, and can roll quite well, and is designed to fit into Hot Wheels tracks. He has door seams, side mirrors, an engine grill behind the rear window, pop-up headlights, taillights, air intakes on the sides and even front indicators. The moulding detail's pretty good for a toy this size, although he's not quite a detailed as some Gobots since Diablos are inherently sleek. He has yellow tailpipes on the back, but aside from the mufflers, wheels and windows, he's all red - no blue in sight here. He's got black painted windows, plastic black tyres and gold painted hubcaps. Unlike most of the Gobots in G2, he doesn't have a sparkly paint over the matte plastic. This list will countdown to the most expensive doll we could find.A matte red sports car, Optimus Prime is no longer a brick red, he's now a brighter red, a vermilion colour. What is most fascinating is what makes these dolls so expensive. Maybe in a couple hundred years, they will be creepy and haunted-like too because they watched the lives and deaths of numerous rich people. They are meant to sit in glass cabinets as luxurious food for the eyes. ![]() No, these dolls are statements more than they are toys. Imagine turning around and seeing a kid say, “She wants to go swimming!” as they dunk a $300,000 Barbie in the public pool. Trust us when we say you do not want your kids playing with these dolls. These are dolls that are often bought by celebrities and those who live off old money. There is wealthy and then there is just absurd richness in which you can buy a $5 million dollar doll. You could probably buy a car or even a house with the money people can spend on the dolls on this list. On this list, you’re going to see that we’ve gone from clay to diamond dolls. Humans are very maternal/paternal and empathetic beings, so crafting toys that are meant to be taken care of like a baby just makes sense. Dolls have been around for a very long time. ![]()
