Between Ney Year's Special Convoy, TFC #00, or Encore what's the best reissue of G1 Optimus Prime?

New Years Prime is something I will forever kick myself for not getting.

It comes with all the parts, a fitted Matrix and his Action Master self!!!

HOWEVER

Encore has a lower price tag!!!

Thats the skinny, now let your dollar make the call as if you don't have a G1 Prime, you'll be someone who doesn't own that figure

I completely agree on the New Year Prime. I saw him in a hobby shop in the UK but didn't have enough cash to buy him. They only had one left as a salesperson bought the other (they only had 2!!!). I really wish I got that. Oh and Liege Evilmus, you forgot the Autobot mouse pad that came with him as well.

I now have Encore Optimus and he is just as good as the original version. Though when I had the original Roller was blue and the Encore Roller is gray. I know this is due to the many variations of the original figure but it was weird seeing it for the first time.

There is a picture of it on BigBadToyStore.

Look at the trailer and you should easily see the mouse pad. It has a large autobot symbol and has the red square design from the G1 boxes. Also noticed it came with two guns. One the regular size and the bloated one.

Sometimes I snuggle myself to sleep next to my New Year's Prime.

I say go with the Encore version. Although I liked my Hasbro Comm when
I had it, I think there was some issue with the missiles or Roller that people don't like, I'm not sure. I have the Encore version and an extra blue Roller so I can just switch it up if I need to. He is a solid Prime
and looks good.

The TFC #0 is just too expensive for me, but, you do get an energon ax with that version. I've only heard good things about this version
so if you got the cash go for it.
