I’d be utterly surprised if ‘Bee didn’t come with his sidearm, and I’d be pretty shocked if the Jetpack was used as an incentive for Bug Bite and Goldbug.

So, maybe they’re featured on a or the side(s) of the packaging.

Or, New Age didn’t want to print a somewhat comprehensive set of action poses on the box, but, sure enough, all accessories are included with ‘Bee.

All the same, we shall see.

 

I'm sure that Bee will have all of his accessories.

 

If not we riot

 

...leaves me wondering if new age are affiliated with war in pocket; certainly their packaging appears of-a-kind...

 

Maybe, but I think it could just be that they are converging on an impulse to do retro, vintage, throwback I.E. nostalgia driven packaging.

Also, Iron Factory and Revoltech packaging have some similarities to my eye, but that might just be my own bias in collecting in the first, since I’ve’nt seen a comprehensive survey of fig boxes of the last two decades...  

 

But does Iron Factory use pictures of Revoltech products on the back of its packaging?  

 

Probably never, but I can think of one good reason to feature Kaiyodo plastic...



But, it is a little different since NewAge is pitching this a little like ye ol’ FansProject addons, suggesting this Bee is just right to shove up Prime’s... trailer.

This might be my first Legends-sized fig (Minibots don't count)

 

Getting antsy for this guy....

 

I know you're antsy for this Bee but don't let it bug you or you'll develop a nervous tick.
Spiders.

 

Now that pictures of the packaging has been released TheChoosen Prime's release date of 6/21 doesn't seem overly optimistic.

Looks NewAge is going to release their first product before Magic Square.

 

amazingly tiny

 

I wonder why only a few China sellers have preorders up for Goldbug and Bugbite...

They've had them listed a while now, yet still no U.S preorders for those two.

 

I keep waiting for those too . . .

I need to order MFT's Omega Supreme from a China seller so I guess I could tack Goldbug onto that order.

I am still not sold on Goldbug, but it looks like they fixed the feet seams on BB so there is chance Goldbug could see an improvement or two.

 

I'll definitely be getting at least the standard and Bugbite version of this guy... Goldbug I'll have to think about, but chances are I'll just get one of those too to complete the set.

I'd also be very much up for a Glyph recolor.

 

I’ll probably bite on Bugbite, if New Age doesn’t cannibalize their own sales with Wasp or Glyph!  

I do find it funny, though, that The Chosen Prime has NewAge ‘Bee in their Iron Factory Page.

While it is true that there’s fan overlap, NA ‘Bee really fits in the DX9 section...and inside Prime.

 

Still needs paint on his rear window and that black shoulder connector piece needs to be yellow...


Can't wait to get him though.  

 

Given how he looks to Masterpiece Spike that's probably animation accurate given in some scenes Bumblebee was a head bigger
