I would have been perfectly happy with the plain version, but I pulled Optimus Prime Special Galaxy Type from Blokees. The small robot (sans disguise) looks pretty good, but my sample had a blemish on his face plate - some paint was missing. You're seeing it as opened, I went over it with a silver paint marker and it looks a little bit better.
He's built like the other toys in the line, and he's very much like the standard Optimus but has more paint. Is it worth premium chase pricing? Eh, I don't think so, but it's nice.

Optimus Prime Special Galaxy Type is a 2-inch tall robot, and all of his ball joints work great. The red plastic is metallic, and so is the blue - will it hold up to time? I hope so! The figure has a printed chest and lower waist with fancy graphics, plus yellow arrows on his forearms. The Autobot symbol on the left shoulder is the same as the ergular figure, but he has some extra deco. The silver shin vents are unique to the chase figure, as are the silver smoke stacks. The standard release has htem as a pretty awful red, unpainted, and unsightly. I'm sure it's a cost thing, but I wouldn't have left that deco hit off in their shoes. (Also, I'm not in their accounting department, so I can say things like this.)
The colors look good but it's not as bright as other red Optimus toys in their line. It's not bad, but the clear red one has more "zing" to it. I'm kind of surprised those weren't made as the chase figures, because Blokees' clear plastic is just absolutely wonderful. The metallic is... fine. It's not bad. But it doesn't impress me like a chase piece should, this one just feels very standard in the most adequate ways. It's not a bad figure - the sculpt is great, the deco is good, and I love those yellow painted lights on the cap chest. They didn't skimp on paint here, and it shows.
I would say this is probably a good chase figure. It's better than the standard release, more money was put into it. It will most likely be the ones most fans prefer, but the non-chase version has a perfectly nice gray blaster too, and it looks like Optimus, and the colors are also just fine. For three bucks, any version of this figure is a spectacular pull for the asking price. I'm not sorry about getting it, but the blemish really makes me want to never, ever touch the silver parts again for fear of paint flaking, scraping, or anything I might not understand. It's a nice display piece - I've been playing around more with the clear one. I'd recommend either, because you probably want a tiny kit on your desk and at this size a red Optimus is a red Optimus.
