Its the middle of July, and never too
early to start thinking about the next 20 weekends ahead.
Hallmark's Megatron Keepsake Ornament
has been released and is a follow up to last years Optimus Prime.
And, like before this tree dangler is a tribute to the original 80's
toy representation of the character. Hopefully, this is a
regular annual thing!
Hallmark has put together an uncanny
scaled down static duplicate of the popular original toy. It has no
articulation, and of course – it does not transform! This also
skips the past complications of Megatron's questionably controversial
alt-mode.
My criticism of the old toy has
always been the fragile robot mode. This sadly translates a lot worse
as a light plastic Christmas ornament, and is a delicate model as a
result. Hallmark have probably foreseen this and have packed this
ornament without a plastic tray and a lot more tissuepaper than
Optimus Prime had last year.
Unfortunately, no hanging string is
included. There is a thin eyelet for 'sold separately' string located
on the right shoulder.
In a nutshell, this is no way a toy
though based on one. A brilliant looking collectable all the same.
