So, I click over to eBay with word that a new Transformers Optimus Prime Bobble head is soon to be available. Cool, I think Optimus would make for a convincing guard for my Manny Ramirez and Daric Barton Bobbleheads! Not that the dreaded Manram, and Mohawk Daric Barton couldn’t take care of themselves – but on occasion the Dwight Schrute bobble head
I have gets a little bit unruly.
Anyways - Upon arriving I notice there’s not just the one I heard was coming out in November – but several Optimus Prime Bobblehead versions. Nothings ever simple, eh?
There is a Funko Transformers 2 Bobblehead, which I found with a black base, complete with a Transformers 2:Revenge of the Fallen
sci-fi movie design. It even has rotating arms! (neat)
There is another Optimus Prime Wacky Wobbler that has a blue base, and I even discovered an ‘old school’ Optimus Prime Bobble
from the fine folks at Neca - who released a version of the giant transforming bot back in 2002 under their Head Knockers line of collector’s bobbles.
The version pictured above is the latest Optimus Prime incarnate – and should be available shortly after you read this. Not sure which one I’m going to go with, but I do like how I can pose this one with his gun pointed and ready to take aim at anyone who stands in his way. Careful Dwight, we wouldn’t want Optimus Prime to become trigger happy so close to the Holiday Gift Giving Season!
Editor’s Note: Wouldn’t it be sweet if an actual Optimus Prime existed?
Just think, the Autobot leader could have “transformed” millions of dollars in savings to the Americans who opt NOT to shoot random citizens. Optimus Prime could have “taken care of business” several years back by utilizing his REALLY BIG gun to execute John Muhammad – aka the DC Sniper, who is set to be executed today, eight long years after he terrorized the Washington area with random sniper shootings.
