Here's one for you fans of wacky crossover figures! Site sponsor Robotkingdom has opened a pre-order for Takara Transformers GARIGARI-kun Robo (Cola), a figure based on Garigari-kun's (an frozen treat producer in Japan) mascot that transforms into a popsicle!

Oh god Optimus, what happened to you? :shock:

I'm horrified and yet strangely amazed.

Wonder where the stick goes in alt mode?

lol, weird. I wonder how much it will cost and if my girlfriend would be interested. Probably not, if it doesn't transform into a recognizable character.

It turns into Optimus Prime cosplaying as that mascot, or the mascot cosplaying as Optimus Prime, not quite sure what.

Probably the most disturbing is the size of his mouth :shock:

It's too bad that popsicle doesn't transform into Prowl. It would be awesome to own a figure of Prowl with a literal stick up his...

Ooookay, how much money do I need to give to Takara to have my own figure?

I remember that from Cybertron. I think that is one of the coolest looking Transformers in existence!

Amen to that! Signal Lancer rules the world, that's how much he rules!

I totally didn't notice the Prime colors in there... suffice to say, the original character is far too creepy anyway. :lol:

I do believe this figure gives a whole new meaning to the phrase 'More than meets the eye'

.

I'm actually kinda impressed by the engineering here. That being said, no, it's not for me, thanks

Oh god I just realised, this gives the creepy kind of fan girls a whole new excuse to say that they want to suck on Optimus Prime.

I may get one of these just for the absurdity of it all. :HEADHURTS:
