Here’s a random, cuddleable oddity. Washington-state based TFW2005 member Hollywood Hoist reports finding a new plush Optimus Prime on a recent trip to his local Target store. What is interesting is that this Optimus Prime plush appears to be based on the Kre-O Optimus Prime, from the designs of the tires and smokestacks, to the shading on the chest and the design of the eyes. It’s a pretty cool piece, as far as oddities go, and a nice addition to the small but growing collection of plush Transformers.

It's adorable and I hate it. I think I'm going to have to buy it simply to express the depths of my hatred. By cuddling it. To death.
To those that own it: How soft is this abomination?

Ditto that. I thought it was reported over a year ago. My brother bought me one back in October.

If it's been out for a while, great. However if nobody posts about, then the only people who know are the ones who stumble across it. At least now everyone knows and those who are interested can pick one up.
I'm not sure why this being news is a big deal?

I had no idea this thing was news. I saw this in target months ago before Christmas. If you want to see it in action, here's an Instagram I put up 15 weeks ago https://www.instagram.com/p/-MceGnDCA5/

If the head were more… solidly structured aesthetically, I'd be more interested. Would definitely like to see what it's like in person if I have the opportunity.

It is news if they are the first person willing or able to post it here first.
(just like with first sightings of new toys)
Apparently it has been out for a few months (according to a friend of mine in America who has one), but if no one posts about it, then it is "news" when it finally does get posted here by the first person.

Is this news? I remember seeing something about this around Christmas time because I asked my mom for it jokingly and found it under our tree Christmas day.

While I wasn't there it looks like the bed section in the home area, not the toy aisles. They have a bunch of character decorative pillows (technically that's what they are, not plushes).

Eurobeatking

I didn't know this was a new thing. I found one weeks ago at my Target and took a selfie with it

I actually bought one of these at Target on clearance for around $5 about a month ago.

I saw it at Target multiple times before. This was before Star Wars 7 came out.

Target might still have it up on their website. I remember it being there when this first came out. My wife actually grabbed it for me for Christmas. Crazy thing is, we have 3 Targets in town and only 1 actually stocked this.
