Crimson Dynamo has shared some pictures of the brand new Optimash Prime figure from the Mr. Potato Head line. This looks like a fun figure and the addition of a face that closely resembles Optimus Prime's voice actor, Peter Cullen, makes it an even better spud! You can click on the photos below to view the full size images.

Behold - Optimash Prime!!

Optimash and Inspiration:

Here's what Crimson Dynamo had to say about this figure ...

Positives: How about "best Transformers merchandise EVER"? He's a potato. And he's a robot. He comes with a little flat-nose truck. He has a removable mustache. He has a removable faceplate...but get this - he looks like Cullen underneath! This toy couldn't be more amazing. Go! Buy it!

Negatives: None. This thing is pure awesomeness.

Final comments: I'm speechless.

Thanks for sharing these pictures with us, Crimson Dynamo!

Um... that doesn't look like Peter Cullen at all. No offense to Mr. Cullen, but I've seen REAL potatoes that reminded me more of him.

I think it's mean to say that he looks like PC!

I seen alot of pics of Pete, some he looks like I think Ceaser Romero would look like, in others he looks like a well aged rhine stone cowboy, but I aint ever seen him all bugeyed and red nosed.

Thats a horrible insult on this otherwise awesome toy!

I think the mustache is close enough to make him look like Cullen... clever.

But I want one!

When I first heard about this figure, I wasn't too keen on it. I mean, I loved Darth Tader and the Spudtrooper as much as anyone, but I think this just took it a bit too far.

Of course, I used to be dead set against the movie, too. And...well, time makes fools of us all.

I've wanted this even before it was announced! I love the Star Wars and Spider-Man spuds! This will make a great addtion to my collection! :grin:

Oh, and that Cullen mode really cracked me up! :lol:

That is an awsome pic. It really needs a better tag line, though. I like the idea of the little truck saying, "Are you my Daddy?"

Anywho. Yep, that is a pretty cool toy. Now they need Megatot. Heh, he could turn into a potato gun. :lol:

Does Peter Cullen really have a red, bulbous nose that would suggest many years of alcoholism?

I still can't believe this happened. Still, this is kinda cool. It would be interesting to see if there were future developments in this line, most likely Bumlebee or Megatron. I might actually pick this up.

No, that's just the Mr. Potatohead's telling you he is ripe with Vodka.

The captions for the pics have sold me to the idea that I have to get one of these. Not that Darth Tater ain't a cool toy to begin with. Cullen mode lol!I think that Murky Dismal (Rainbow Brite villian)

is a pretty good resemblance to Cullen as well. Put a cowboy hat on Optimash then it is a resemblance!

You should have seen my girlfriends face when I picked this up off the shelf and started walking out of the toys aisle. haha.. he now sits beside my desk in his box. I must find the perfect place to display this grad piece of work, and figure out a mighty pose for when I unpackge him.

I believe Skywarp -2- is trying to tell us something.... what is it boy, did Timmy fall in the well again???

Was the white typing on the first page not able to be read by some???

I have Optimash and he is Sweet! He needs more accessories though. A cowboy hat would have been perfect BTW! And yes, the mustache mode does make him look a bit like Mr. Cullen...

A must buy!

You know, I always hated that Lassie joke...mostly because my real name is Tim, & I never did care much for being called Timmy either.

I got him! Found in Target Shepparton yesterday (Monday). Cost me $25 AU. Awesome toy in the flesh. Now resides on top of my stereo.

Darth Tater came with the mustache and teeth. I think those are standard with every Mr. Potato Head and it's just a coincidence that he looks Like Peter Cullen.

Awesome pictures, they made me laugh. I don't see how anyone can pass this up. I almost feel obligated to buy one. I now have about 20 of the movie toy figures but have not seen the first Optimash Prime. Has anyone seen the My first Spiderman Figures? I was thinking a My first Optimus Prime would be kinda cool. What do you think?

You didn't. I was just commenting. I mean hell, if I were to get offended every time somebody did something even this mild, then the internet would be the last place I would ever need to go....

Anywho, no problems.....

The mustache is different from the 'regular' Mr. Potato Head mustache... It's larger and black (instead of brown).
