Daily Prime - The Art of Optimus Prime Playskool Heroes

[BaCon]

For me, collecting is as much about art as the property itself. The evolution of a character over time can vary greatly from the most epic to utterly simple. It is this dynamic that I find so engaging. Ironically, as much I love super-detailed figures foisting pounds of metal, extended articulation, lights, sounds and chrome as far as the eye can see. I often find the most juvenile toys tend to have the greatest artistic freedom.

With so many third parties making the same remakes, over and over, with barley perceptible differences, at a minimum of 3 digits a pop, I find that Items like these, none of which probably costs more than $20, are the real treasures. 

I'll take a unique stylized toy over an over accurate, hyper articulated kibblefest, any day.

That is a REALLY good point I never thought of. Things do trend towards fetishism over time.
