When it comes to contest prizes, they don’t get much better than a brand new Transformers Masterpiece Optimus Prime. It might not be Star Wars, but the figure is valued at $100, includes a bundle of extras, and is being given away to one lucky collector for free by Collector-ActionFigures.

Yakfinities #46 is here!
The latest Customizing Challenge is here! As always, the rules are very simple – make a new figure, and post a picture of it in our forums! But you do need to follow the theme of course – and this one is very broad… all you have to do is make a custom of a female character!
Whether it be an alternate look for Princess Leia, a half-eaten Oola, or something completely fan-fiction, it’s up to you! Entries will be accepted through 11:59 PM CST, December 31st.
We’ve already gotten some nice entries – check them out, or add your own by clicking here!
Massive Castle Grayskull Playset
Unlike Hasbro, Mattel has decided to give collectors of their Masters of the Universe Classics line a chance at a massive playset – an ultimate Castle Grayskull.
It’s pricey, but if enough collectors sign up for a pre-order, then He-Man fans will be able to own a truly awesome item to be the centerpiece of their collections.
We wish collectors of this line the best, and salute Mattel for trying to make this happen!
Special thanks to Paulskywalker for the heads up!
