[Shin Densetsu]

Going with ROTF Leader Prime for this one. It is a massive improvement over the previous version from 2 years ago, in many ways that surprised most of the fandom. Sturdy, highly articulated, and looks much closer to the movie CGI models than the previous version; a definite improvement.

While the Buster Prime from TakaraTomy looks better, I'll have to say the US version here is still worthy of toy of the year. Out of all the summer blockbuster movie based toylines, ROTF seems to have been the most successful, and this Prime figure certainly helped with that.

Despite the high level of detail, it's still rugged enough to be played with. It's got great heft, an involved and rather challenging tranformation, and overall it's just pretty damn impressive. Kudos to Haskaromy for turning out a bad ass version of Prime for the mass market.
