Title: Vintage G1 Optimus Prime Instruction Booklet (4/1/2021)
Post by: KidTDragon on April 01, 2021, 12:45:59 PM
We at shmax.com love toys. And we've decided that it's long past time that we honor the most important part of the toys that we adore so much. We're talking, of course, about the humble instruction booklet (https://www.shmax.com/part_details/65822/instruction_booklet). Without instruction booklets, would we be able to figure out that Optimus Prime (https://www.shmax.com/part_details/65819/optimus_prime)'s arms have to be rotated out before flipping up his head, or that She-Hulk (https://www.shmax.com/part_details/79016/she_hulk)'s hands can be swapped with the extra hands that she comes with, or that the control panely-lookin' sticker goes on the control panely-lookin' section on the Wind Raider (https://www.shmax.com/part_details/60508/wind_raider)? Yeah, probably. But we'd never know for sure, and who wants to live with that kind of nagging doubt all their life? So take a bow, instruction booklet. Today is your day! Or month, considering how often we update this thing. (Photo courtesy of Spiff-O-Matic, who's never opened an instruction booklet in his life, that rebel!)

Thank you, KidTDragon, nicely done, as always, though you're a terrible tease to put the idea of swapping She-Hulk's hands onto Optimus Prime out there and not to follow through on it....
