>Optimus Prime is in wave 1 just because he's it's expected for him to be in the line. So to make his release special and different from something like RED, they included him with a surf board and a basketball and a few other fun accessories like the jetpack.
>They made Ghost of Starscream, because there's not a lot of Ghost of Starscream figures out there. They also really wanted to focus on characters that Hasbro hasn't really made and start out with deep cuts, which is why they went with Action Masters.
>They really want to cover more niche characters.
>The figures will be more like 7 to 8 inches and tower over the RED figures.
>The figures are $55 because prices are sky-rocketing in China due to Covid bullshit, causing plastic and tooling prices to go up since they use vinyl and plastics to make things like PPE products, and China may no longer be a viable country for companies to make toys in with-in the next 10 years as it becomes less of a manufacturing country and raises prices every year now.
