What does the text in Chinese on the fourth picture say?

So this is just identical to the backpack that comes with G2 Bumblebee, plus flames?

 

Mods, might want to remove original thread, as there's more detail in Daim's post.

(Although love both responses that give an insight into Chinese).

Dosent seem like it'll be worth what they'll probally charge. Unless they include the stand then I'd jump all over that baby!

 

This will probably cost close to what G2 Bumblebee costs.


Not really worth it to be honest.

 

It's pretty much a KO like a lot of Wu's stuff right? I agree it'll probably be super expensive. And having the Dr. wu Warhead for Streak I feel doubtful in regards to quality.

 

It says there is an extra panel to cover the gap as seen in the official one.

 

The stand I think you have to buy yourself. That looks like the Bandai Stage acf stand.

 

Looks better than the official one that comes with G2 Bumblebee.

Don't presume there's any way to attach this to Sideswipe or Optimus?..

 

Umm, I have the G2 Bumble, so do I need to buy another one just to have flames, and a slightly better jet pack that still has the cut in half booster rockets?

I very big missed opportunity right there, to improve on the original, but sadly no.

If he'd at least made the booster rockets completely round and finished, then I'd buy it. But at it's current state, it's a waste of money, just for flames and a splash of paint. The paint I can do myself a hell of a lot cheeper, so just the flames? No.

 

If you have the G2 bumblebee, why would you want this if you actually have a jetpack?

This is more for people with G1 Bumblebee.

 

My thoughts as well, I hope so that would be cool I would purchase it for certain if it does attach to them.

 

Those clips don't look like they can move at all, so I don't think there's anyway this would fit on MP-10. MP-10 has that thing in the back anyway that holds his gun, so it wouldn't look right and would be too small.

I suppose it might fit on Sideswipe, but again the clips are the limiting factor.

 

SXS made an appropriately sized G1 jetpack for the MP-10 mold (in both the Takara colors and Hasbro colors).

Would be nice if this jetpack would also fit on MP-12 Lambor/Sideswipe but I doubt it at this point. I'm really surprised no one's made a jetpack yet for Swipes, to be honest. After all, it was from him that Optimus stole his jetpack.  

 

Looks nice. I wish it included the stand too.

 

I will probably pick this up if the price isn't too bad. I was really disappointed with the hollow gap on the top of the version that comes with G2 BB (last I checked...these were supposed to be "Masterpiece" figures, right?). I really like that the good doctor corrected that. I also like the flame/thrust effects. Honestly, if the exhaust ports were fully rounded...this would be an instant buy. I do love any accessories that live up to the "Masterpiece" name.

 

Yeah, it woulda been nice to include some pieces to cover those unsightly Classics-ish forearm gaps. I noticed that the photos tried to hide said gaps as much as possible.  

 

G2 Bumblebee, it was nice knowing you.

In all seriousness though, my G2 Bumblebee is already on the way, and it'd end up costing less than this, most likely (especially since I'd be importing from the US instead of Japan, the former of which costs more for me).

The flames aren't all that difficult to do yourself, either. There are tutorials for such things in the Radicons forum if you want to try it out.

 

Cool, I didn't think of that!   That was very helpful, thank you!  

 

You all think it will be more than G2 goldbug? I bet $30.00 but should be $15 at most.
