Thanks to Jacer of the 2005 boards for giving us the heads up on this. With the holidays looming over us, Jacer has found a new Optimus Prime tree ornament at his local Target in Wisconsin. While this Prime looks a bit… battle damaged, he would add a touch of Transformers fun to anyone’s holiday. Or for anyone who keeps their Christmas Tree up all year long! The ornament retails for only $8.00 and the DCPI is 051-06-7931

These Optimus things are terribad in person.
The actual Hallmark store toy lookalikes on the other hand are amazing.

Same ornament at Wal-Mart for $7.47 –not sure if anyone has mentioned that yet. They also have TLK Hot Rod for the same price.

Found a few with better paint jobs… each had issues the others didn't. ALMOST got the one in front but passed. Going to wait until super clearance and maybe paint it entirely. That'd be fun Then I can judge haha (I'm not a great painter) Probably file down that symbol and put a sticker on too. And yes, the gun touches the leg but it's just not painted at all there.

I'll be picking this up because the first G1 Hallmark Optimus ornament goes for like $125 now and I'd like to have one to stand alongside Megatron, Grimlock and eventually Soundwave.
As James' picture shows, not all of them have horrible melty-face, so it's just a matter of sifting through the crap to find a good one.

Yeah, I found it at Lowe's on October 2nd in the same packaging you pictured above.
I also saw it today at Walmart, along with Hot Rod, so these things are everywhere at this point.

Looks like it fell out of the ugly (Christmas) tree and hit every branch on the way down.

Thanks for the support, I don’t mind not getting credit, just wanted to let fellow fans know about the item and sale.
Looks like the prime ornaments you got from jc penny and Lowe’s were painted much better (mine too) than this particular target offering!

(Yes I know it's the wrong Prime but I wanted to use that quote.)

Megatron has melted him!

Reminds me of that one GI Joe clip from Robot Chicken for some odd reason.

Two things: One, I want to forget I saw that and two, shame on Hallmark. I expected way better than that.

Yeah that’s not at all anything related to Hallmark. This is just a generic ornament found anywhere nearly.

So…is this supposed to homage Dark Awakening?
MegaMoonMan
Jesus, why would anybody want that? Are they all dipped in a paint bucket?
