We have a nice surprise today. 2005 Boards member G1Prowl found a very nice and original Officially Licensed G1 Optimus Prime costume at his local Walmart.
Available in child size, we are sure even older fans would like to get this one for Halloween or any party. The costume is also listed at Walmart.com for
Fight the Decepticons in our Optimus Prime Deluxe Gen 1 Costume! This costume includes a jumpsuit with sublimated art on the front and back, built out shoulders and sleeve cuffs, detachable 3D chest piece, and character mask.
- Jumpsuit with sublimated art on the front and back
Built out shoulders and sleeve cuffs - Detachable 3D chest piece
- Character mask with adjustable strap
- Officially licensed
It would be a good idea to check your local Walmart to try to find this costume, so you can become a human in disguise. You can check out the images after the jump and then you can share your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

My son finally decided this is the costume he wants for Halloween. Now if only I can find one that fits him. I wish he would have decided back when we saw it at a store weeks ago.

They also have G1 gloves sold separately. I got the whole set for my son. I’m going to attach 2 aluminum foil covered paper towel rolls to the shoulders. I’m also considering having my wife sew an energon axe shaped candy bag to accompany it…or making an open ended pvc pipe ion blaster with a candy bag stock.

I laughed too hard at this. Thank You

Since they don't make adult sizes, I'll stick with my generic OP costume.

Actually this costume is indeed New, I got it confused with g1 Prime costume that was indeed was released 3 years ago sadly they don't make it anymore I don't think. I could only find a picture of the adult size version but I believe they made it for kids as well.

No, this is the first G1 Optimis costume since the 80s. Previous costumes were based on RiD Optimis.

That doesn’t look terrible. Wow

It'd be better if it had the shoulder smokestacks, but this is still cool.

Looks nice for kids but sadly I am pretty sure there is no adult size
