Re: Hallmark Transformers G1 Grimlock Ornament

I picked mine up Saturday. He looks really cool. The only question I have is why is the logo on the front a Decepticon logo and not Autobot?

Right? It doesn't even mention Transformers at all outside of the logo (which chopped off the trademark). I'm also a little surprised that there's no mention of Hasbro licensing anywhere on the box when it's all over the website. Really strange, a little shocked Hasbro let them get away with that.

I dont get it, the Grimlock one was just his G1 toy made smaller. If he looked chibi to you, then that just means the original G1 would look chibi to you too:

Without me telling you, would you know that was a pic of the G1 toy and not the ornament?
Soundwave is the same. And I dont know why we are better off buying the G1 one instead when this just serves as an ornament on a tree and doesnt transform. I wouldnt put G1 soundwave in my Christmas tree, but I would put this cute ornament instead.

Oh well, good for those who want it, I guess.

Target has the same Hallmark ornament in a hanging card without a box and with the G1 Prime artwork.
