This is interesting.
I'm surprised Hasbro isn't also selling MP BB's for the upcoming movie along with these G1 re-issues.

 

Yeah I'm not so sure I like this Bumblebee. I'll probably still get it but that head just seems wierd to me.

 

If Bumblebee gets the new head, would an Optimus Prime reissue get the Music Label head?

 

Oh   I read it as I "dont" which looking back i clearly misread it lol

 

I guess there's hope. It would make up for the inevitable nubbed stacks again.

 

Possible. Though it could be because the TLK one was also described as "an old battle buddy of Bumblebee's". Though that also hints at likely an appearance in the movie too of when they parted ways.

 

I'd like to see front and side of the helmet. It doesn't look very accurate from this p.o.v. imo

I like to see these G1 figures land on the Walmart shelves id buy them all! They look so beautiful! Looks just like late winter 1984 1st time i saw Transformers I was at a New York TRU toy store that actually sold more then just carded toys. My state just had the Sears order catalog, Ames, & Ben Franklin. Wed see G1 Bumblebee but not G1 Starscream. Go-Bots but not Super Go-Bots. He-Man but not Snake Pitt or Strydor. See how all the boxed stuff was never there? :/

 

Oooooohh, well that makes a little more sense.  

 

When they did offer G1 MP Bee, IIRC he didn't sell out (up until TRU folded, he was available on their website). Unless they drop thre price on him, I don't see people buying that figure

 

Reminds me of when they reissued the G.I.JOES in 2008 I wish they would do that again and also re do Transformers Universe

 

Nice! I think I maybe have the Takara one, or a keychain that has the cartoon head, but I am not sure. If not I want this, since I always found it weird that we had to wait until 1989 to get a Bee that looks like the cartoon/comic version\'s face (the Classic Pretender).

 

Given how those Optimus and Megatron helmet/mask things are still gathering dust on shelves today, I really hope that Bumblebee helmet doesn’t share their fate.

 

I Love the real G1 head on the wal mart one.

 

Interesting, that works alright for me as I already have G1 Outback but none of the others!  

 

The helmet looks good but is gonna be a pass. I remember picking up the prime helmet on sale from rotf for $25 when full price they went for $45- $50 back then. I was thinking about picking up the prime helmet from tlk until I saw it was going for $100 which I laughed at when I seen it. Honestly the only reason I see the jump in price like that is because of what must have been a lot of sales of the star wars episode 7 helmets selling at that price. Someone told me they bought a kylo ren helmet and almost instantly regretted it telling me how cheap the quality was and nowhere near worth the money they wanted for it

 

If that helmet can be used as headphones, and people can walk in on me just sitting at my computer with that helmet on, then I might get it.   Also, that remolding to the G1 Bumblebee mold looks neat. Nice little figure to have on the shelf!

 

That bit about it being a "set" was a misconception based on the Robot Kingdom listing, which was actually for a full case of eight individually cared figures (three Bumblebees, two Swerves, two Tailgates and one Outback).

As is often the case, an early mistake based on incomplete information gets promptly mistaken for fact and immediately becomes gospel.

 

So the little guys are getting released individually? Hope so!

I also hope they do G2 Bee in the near future, as he's the one I had. Would be so cool to be able to buy one to be carded for display and another for messing with.
