wow, its kinda Nostalgic from the Hasbro point of view, being that they were a failing company until the advent of , yep you guessed it, they're first big hit...Mr. potatoe head.. so its a real meaningful toy product they release, especially to the employees, its kinda like the unoffical Hasbro mascott, this is the toy that put them on the map and brought them out of debt and into the profitability zone..so its kinda a huge thing for hasbro..thats why you see Optimash Prime, and Darth Mash, ect..its a staple that is rooted in history for that company.. and had it not been for Mr. Potatoe head, we wouldn't have the Transformers we know and love today..atleast thats what my friend and source at Hasbro tells me..
I will buy him, because he's a nod to where they began at Hasbro, and a nod to what they begot from hasbro, that to this day is still going strong.. Plus
He's a freaking Optimus prime potatoe head!!its so unique that its actually cool, only i think he should have had blue eyes..like the bot..they need a Megatron with a silver helmet... heeeee heee that would so rock..
