I picked up BB and Megs today. Firstly, let me say that I'm BIG into Revoltech. They're my favorite toys, so I've been really looking forward to these "Movie Revoltechs". Bumblebee sucks. FOUR revoltech joints. That's it. He lacks them in key areas like his elbows. They're in the shoulders and knees. He's got some large revoltech-like joints in his feet, but I can't remove them. There are these kinda half-revoltech joint things in his elbows, thighs, etc. I'm sure they've been discussed. Poseability is SEVERELY limited. He's about as poseable as a titanium. Not anywhere near Protoform Prime or even Deluxe Bonecrusher. The sculpt is kinda crappy and basic compared to the rest of the movie toys. Not very detailed. And the paint is a huge letdown. Did I mention all the kibble? It limits what poseability he has. He's HUGE on a Revoltech scale. He towers over Revo Prime. He's much larger than Revo Megs. He's even bigger than a Revo EVA. He's big. It's disappointing. There is not one thing I like about this guy. D- In fact, I'm returning him tomorrow. I've never hated a toy this much.
IMHO the deluxes have MORE detail than these things. RR's really look and feel like knock offs compared to the mainline figs.
Got it last night. I like it much better than barricade and Megatron, the gun arm is awesome! But the lack of some basic points of articulation, and details getting int he way of full movement of the joints are ARE there is really frustrating. Cool to display, wouldn't be fun to play with whatsoever.

Yeah, now that I have a real Revoltech... RR BB is a Peice Of Shit. He could've been soooooo much better.
