You know, this place has gone way downhill. What do you say we go somewhere else? >> That's a huge >> figure. This video is sponsored by toyhacks.com. Toy Hacks is your one-stop shop for reproduction decals for vintage G1 Transformers and upgrade decals for your modern box. Toy hacks making Transformers look amazing since 1999. The feature bot in this video is the brand new Transformers Big Fig Optimus Prime. Is it just me or did this thing just appear out of nowhere? I know we had the passing of Peter Cullen and it was just like a couple days later I'm seeing Facebook posts and Instagram reels and YouTube videos of this guy showing up at Targets on this huge Transformers 40th anniversary display. And then of course what I'm reading is people are buying him up immediately because this ginormous figure is only $34.99. people are buying him up immediately, throwing him on eBay for like 200 and some dollars. Um, everybody was just going on and on about these figures and then they would randomly show up in Targets again and then disappear again, so on and so forth. Now, I liked it, but it was one of these things that I figured I would never get because my nearest Target is two hours away. Now, I do have friends that live near Targets and they promised me, "Hey, if we see or if we see one, we'll get them for you." So, a buddy of mine Wednesday sent a message to me and says, "Hey, he's online. I ordered one and I also have one to pick up in store. Uh, do you want me to get you one?" And I misunderstood him. I thought he said, "Hey, they're online." So, I go on target.com. He is available, shipped right to me, $34.99, not paying the scalper prices. So, uh, yeah, here he is. Now, what really surprised me is on Target's website, they said he will ship asis, not in a box. And I thought, oh god, coming via FedEx, he's going to be beat all to hell. But he actually did ship in a box and came in pretty good condition. And uh like I said, I cannot get over how big this figure is and how heavy it is. This guy has got some weight to him. So, as you can see, he's based on the animated version of Optimus Prime. He looks really good. Very bright. Let's take a look at the packaging. It's just this cardboard box that he's standing in. We got Transformers the movie. Great looking artwork of the Autobots versus the Decepticons. 40 years right there. Big Figs Optimus Prime Shoo Papa. I've never heard of that before. Let's see. This side of the box, that's Prime. That side of the box is Prime. Back of the packaging is product shots of Prime. So, if you're not sure what he is, yeah, there it is on the back. Um, I'm not sure what all that. Maybe those are points articulation. So, he's got 10 points of articulation. So now without further ado, let's get this big fig opened up out of this packaging and check him out. Don't forget to like, don't forget to subscribe, and welcome to Patriot Prime Reviews. >> Patriot Prime. Now, once you get your Big Fig Optimus Prime all opened up and out of the packaging, you'll see well, what you saw is what you get. There's nothing extra. There's no extra accessories or anything. Just this big ginormous Optimus Prime. And like I mentioned earlier, he's based on the cartoon look. And I think he looks fantastic. I can tell right here the windows, these are decals. Now, I did see a few complaints online that some people were getting these and the decals were messed up. I can see a little bit of bubbling in here. Uh, some people mentioned maybe Toy Hacks would put out a set for this. I honestly don't see Toy Hacks putting out a decal set for this guy, but you never know. They may just give us the window decals. Great looking paint applications. The head is blue. We got this gray right there for the crest. The gray mouth. Some light blue eyes right there. Yellow for the lights. The Autobot insignas are white. We got the yellow on the forearms. The white here. Gray. Got the little windshield wipers right there. That's cool. Uh let's see. Yellow for the belt. We got the blue crotch. Moving on down, we got silver with the gas tanks. And we got silver for the toes. And that's it. I mean, he's got lots and lots of great detailing. I know you got silver for the smoke stacks as well. So, he looks great. I have no idea where I'm going to put him. Uh, articulation, the head can rotate. Can do a complete 360 if you want. The arms can rotate. There is a elbow bend. There is a wrist rotation. Now, I'm sure a lot of you may have seen where somebody had this guy, I think he was posed like so. Turn the fist around. This guy had a dowo rod in his hands and made him a giant Optimus Prime toilet paper holder. So, there's a thought. So, let's see. Articulation. Where did I stop? Legs. Uh, the legs don't move, but there is a knee bend, so he can do that. And I guess that's it. Now, the hips are flared out, so I think there may at some point been some leg articulation. I'm trying. No, it's they're not moving at all. Now, a buddy of mine on Facebook, I saw somebody mod this that apparently there's a square hole in a round peg or round peg in a square hole, something that's keeping this from moving and the individual cut a hole so the leg can move. So, there's an option for you if you want your Prime to have a lot of articulation. For me, I don't care because he's going to be sitting over there in the corner. So, getting on to the size of this guy. It's not a Patriot Prime review video without a quick size comparison. So, here's the brand new Big Figs Optimus Prime with Generation One Optimus Prime and Studio Series 86 Optimus Prime. So, this guy is a little big. And just because I've got a joke for you, I have my brand new Titans Return Fortress Maximus. Big Fig Prime towers over Fortress Maximus. Without a doubt, this has to be one of the largest Transformer figures I ever seen. Other than that giant 4 foot Metroplex I saw at TFcon. So, a lot of people online, I don't want to get this figure because it doesn't transform. Who cares? You know, a lot of folks uh Transformer fans, it's not only about the toys that we're collecting. It's the characters. It's the character of Optimus Prime that we want in our collection. But if you're that picky, he does transform pretty much the same way Fortress Maximus here does. Take the arms, bring them all the way up just like so, and lay him on his stomach. And there's ship mode. Pretty much just like old Fortress Maximus how he transforms. Now, he does have a kind of a little bit of a backwards elbow bend right there. So, maybe that was just for shipping. But yeah, man, I I love this guy. I think he's awesome. I do have a friend of mine, Fire Talks, who is already working on some 3D printed guns for Prime. So, I plan on giving him a rifle real soon, and maybe I'll put an American flag in his hand, and he could be my new uh Well, that's not going to work. He is too big to have in frame even for my promo shots. So anyway guys, there is the brand new Big Fig Optimus Prime. He's unique. He's quirky. I absolutely love this. Keep an eye out uh at your local Target. Keep uh checking the Target website. Uh he was out of stock one day, appeared in stock the next, and he's out of stock again. Don't pay the scalper prices. This guy retails for $34.99. So, hold up. I'm sure you'll get one. Uh, that's pretty much it, guys.
