Hello, everyone! I’m Crab. Today, I’m bringing you a review of the ultra-small scale Optimus Prime from Galaxy Toys. The one I have here is an early sample, and it looks like my channel is the first to review this painted sample. Curious about its quality? Let’s dive into the details!

▲The contents include the Optimus Prime figure, a large gun, and an energy axe. Since this is a sample, it doesn’t come with official packaging or an instruction manual, and there are some minor imperfections typical of sample pieces. The goal of making samples is to identify and fix flaws, so I’ll be focusing on showing the overall painted look of this figure.

At first glance, this figure looks like a small, non-posable figurine or one of those static action toys. Its proportions feel well-balanced and visually pleasing.

▲The head sculpt is well-designed and, despite the small scale, perfectly captures the classic G1 Optimus Prime look we all recognize. However, the paint job here is just a placeholder for now, so don’t mind the paint overlaps or chipping—these won’t appear in the final product.

▲The window frames on the chest are made of alloy, which creates a noticeable color contrast with the plastic parts, and the chest gaps are also a bit wide. These issues will be fixed in the final version. The chrome finish on the intake grille looks great, with barely any visible flaws.

The exhaust pipes on the upper arm are also chromed, and the arm itself is fairly smooth, though there are gaps on the inner forearm due to the transformation design.

▲If you look closely at the lower legs, you’ll notice some color variation; the lighter areas are alloy parts. Thanks to these metal parts in the lower body, the figure stands quite stably. And again, any color discrepancies will be resolved in the final release.

▲For a small-scale figure, the backpack on this Optimus is quite neat and compact, with minimal added bulk. The extra silver areas compared to the original version can be overlooked given the scale.

The white marks around the knees might look concerning, but they’re just surface-level and don’t impact normal play. This issue will also be fixed in the final version.

▲The head can rotate and tilt up and down. The arms can fully rotate and lift up to 90 degrees horizontally. The upper arms rotate, and the elbows bend over 90 degrees, with wrist rotation as well.

▲The upper body can bend forward and backward, and the waist rotates. The legs can kick forward to 60 degrees and swing sideways and backward over 90 degrees. Thigh rotation, knee bends over 90 degrees, and ankle tilts allow for stable posing. For a small-scale figure, the posability is on par with the classic official line, making it more than capable of striking dynamic poses.

▲Accessories include the large gun and energy axe. The gun is classic G1 style and can be held directly in hand.

▲The energy axe is a translucent part that can be fitted onto the hand. There aren’t any other accessories, though it would be interesting if Galaxy Toys considered adding a jetpack in future releases.

▲For comparison, I placed it alongside the Kingdom Core Class Optimus. This Galaxy Toys figure is slightly smaller than the official Core Class, making the official figure appear a bit bulkier.

▲The backpack on the Galaxy Toys figure is much cleaner and more streamlined than the official one, with fewer visible gaps and hollow parts. It’s up to you which design style you prefer.

▲The transformation is simple and not much harder than the official Core Class. It follows a design similar to the MP01, almost like a condensed version. However, due to its tiny size, transforming it can be a bit tricky, but that’s an inherent challenge with ultra-small figures. Thankfully, the transformation process isn’t complicated, and it’s easy enough to handle despite the scale.

In vehicle mode, it has a boxy, compact look. The sides of the cab may seem a bit segmented, and the body feels slightly elongated, but given the ultra-small scale, I’m quite satisfied with the vehicle mode’s level of detail.

▲The area behind the cab is also quite smooth, and it arguably looks even better than some official versions. Due to the small scale, there’s no way to store the weapon in vehicle mode, but this isn’t a big issue. Even if storage were possible, it would likely involve attaching it to the back, which would mean adding extra holes—something I don’t think is necessary.

▲Compared to the official Optimus Prime vehicle mode, the Galaxy Toys version has a clearer advantage. Its overall proportions are much more balanced, and the cockpit design is less segmented than the official version.

▲In summary, Galaxy Toys’ ultra-small Optimus Prime feels like a condensed MP01. The figure is well-sculpted, has balanced proportions, and offers easy transformation, making it quite playable. As this is still an early sample, issues like paint overspray and white marks will be addressed before the final release. I’m excited to see how this figure turns out in the end.

▲That wraps up this review. Thanks for watching! If you have any comments or suggestions, feel free to leave them below—I read every single one of your messages. Your support is my biggest motivation. This has been Crab; see you next time!
