    For all of the complaints people seem to have about MP Bumblebee's face, when you actually have the figure in your hands... the face looks absolutely fine! Perfect even, and the transformation is simply beautiful.

    It is such a cool wee MP even if a bit of a rip-off considering the price despite the inclusion of exo-suit Daniel (it definitely is not Spike). I do have to laugh that for twice the price of this little bugger I got MP-10 which is more than four times as big in bulk, has die-cast parts, a trailer, Roller, AND accessories!

    I haven't really been following the Bee discussion online, kinda like just getting it and interacting in person for the first time. Like avoiding movie spoilers. But yeah, I don't have a problem with either face, I think it's on point. In pictures, it can get blown out with light easily, you lose the cuts and details. But it's there and fine in normal light.

    Transformation is complex but not WTF complex. Pretty much perfect IMO. Little back kibble, but I'm fine with it. Legs hold poses well, even "lift off running" type poses, which is nice.

    Price, yeah, but, doesn't matter, I needed this. And they know it. :)

    Beautiful pictures, and these photos actually show off how good Bumblebee's face looks, which gets lost in most pictures. The group shots really show how much he adds to a collection. He really is the perfect G1 Bumblebee, a figure I've been waiting 30 years for.

    Maybe it's just the pictures, then, but I think the face looks way too soft.

    I did these photos, posing etc. TFSource just sponsored the gallery by providing the figure.

    I missed Red Alert, and in the past chose not to grab a lot of the repaints, so the comparisons are limited. :)  I tried to keep it OG G1 tho, seeing those guys together like that hits a fine note of nostalgia for me.

    We say this all the time but it really can't be overemphasized. Some dudes just don't understand.

    Looks really good, but I'm a little disappointed that there's not a panel to cover up where his fists fold into the forearms.
    I just sort of expect that from an MP Transformer.

    Love him or hate him, he is the least "good" masterpiece.

    Don't like his narrow leg joints and the underside of the vehicle mode isn't as well hidden underneath as previous efforts.

    Having said that, its a masterpiece and I must have it!
