It kind of reminds me of Optimus Prime.
I was cruising the toy aisle a couple years ago (you know, with my kids...) and I saw this super awesome 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime. I thought "Wow, it's just like the one I had 20 years ago!" but it was $70. I happened to be on Ebay later looking at toys (you know, for my kids...) and I saw some 1984 Optimus Primes. Well, I had apparently grown up since 1984 so the same toy seemed really small and cheap to me 20 years later. The 20th Anny version looked the same to me in 2004 as the 1984 one did to me in 1984.
If that makes any sense, I for one would like to the mattes cleaned up.
