Ahh, I see.

Okay the + is basically confirmed now. That’s so cool.

 

Will the eventual KO be a 1:1 copy or will they find some way to revise the gigantic feet? It's my only gripe with this version. I don't mind the backpack, he'll be front facing in the cabinet anyway. I actually think they've nailed it other than the feet.

But those platform shoes, can they even be improved..? Looking at that side on shot just above there might not actually be many places to add any hinges and/or clean them up further.

 

leave KO stuff out please .
but
the feet has a very specific build to it. If I want to , say , improve the feet a bit , i guess the window can sit on a double hinge so the window can be tuck further onto open space of his feet. It can reduce the protrude area of the window a bit more.
the door part is need to contact with ground.

 

Thank you for your opinion Phamduc.

Sorry, I was more so thinking out loud with the KO thing. It was kind of rhetorical, mostly because I am not sure what else could actually be improved other than what you've mentioned for the feet. He does have to stand and pose well at the end of the day.

 

Yeah but I think it's way too small for MP-45, probably would be better to make your own from scratch

AmiAmi [Character & Hobby Shop]

Got it from AmiAmi but it's sold out now




Should really have two breast pockets to be accurate anyway! If it was too big I could make alterations to make it tighter, but the problem is there won't be enough material to go around his whole body. $15 well spent  

 

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it here, they need to release some wardrobe kits. Nightbeat’s coat and hat, these guys’s uniforms, hell even the Legends manga’s fembot outfits need some physical representation.

 

Wasn’t the sticker sheet listed in the product description from the start and translated as “seal”?

@Ikkstakk even made a guess about it being a sticker:

 

*off topic* but it's for this reason that if a Grimlock v2 ever happened I would still want the apron and bow tie. My MP-8 has been in dino mode for years serving up the finest cocktails

 

MP-08 is my wife and kids' favourite Transformer for exactly that reason! It is a shame Bumblebee doesn't have a few more accessories, but I'm very much looking forward to him all the same.

 

@Phamduc might already be answered, but how is the yellow? Mp-21 like or lighter yellow like the cartoon? Thanks.

 

21 is orange yellow. 45 is true yellow. in fact the yellow is yellower than 39 yellow. 39 has a very tiny tiny tiny amount of orange , it's hard to see it with normal eye tho

 

It's cool these references are included, but unless they're removable, you've got to be a super fan of those episodes to permanently display your Bumblebee with those details. I think for me those stickers will be staying on the sheet.

Yeah, it was known from the start there would be stickers. I'm bummed there's no Microchange sticker though. Maybe there will be one with 45+.

 

Agree, though I will probably use the heart sticker to make the alternate license plate accurate, that one I would want in place permanently.

 

Now I'm really hoping they are hinting at Perceptor.

 

Gonna use one of the hearts to replace Shockwave's mono-eye. Want him staring lovingly at Megatron  

 

Lugnut would be more appropriate.  

 

  So you're telling me if we had all read more carefully months ago (and listened to ikkstakk), we could have guessed and imagined this idea for all that time?!? Oh the loss...

 

I think the reason the product promo shots don't show Bee's highlighter yellow color is because fluorescent shades get over saturated in photos and we wouldn't be able to see the moulded detail, especially in contrast with his gunmetal-grey components. I suspect TT edited the shots to a more orange shade. what we're seeing in all of these shots is not a true representation of what we'll see upon opening the box.

 

fact is simply that takara tomy always overlay their stock photos
