    If this doesn’t get made for real by Hasbro someone should get fired

    Especially with all the old TV car (and jet) figures they’ve been doing lately.

    They've already got the perfect mold (Netflix BB would just need some very minor retooling for perfect accuracy, and preferably a new head) and they seem to have a good relationship with Disney seeing as they're the main producer of Star Wars and Marvel toys, it seems like a no-brainer for them to at least try to get a license. All the other Collaborative figures they've done have been for anniversaries and/or new movies coming out though. They missed the 50th anniversary of the first movie a coupe years ago unfortunately.

    Yeah the main setback here is there's a fairly limited demand for Herbie anything - I think I picked up a 1/64 diecast a while back but the car isn't in the cultural zeitgeist like... the Mystery Machine, say.

    Nice work, regardless.

    If Hasbro ever does an official Herbie crossover figure it should have a Racing helmet head.

    - I did a label print out for his face. It was simple, easy and worked for me

    I can’t remember what 3rd party I got these from (sorry, no help)
    It was originally a 3rd party Bug Bite.
    I just copied some Herbie stickers I found on-line and printed them onto a packing label, then cut and applied. The face was one I found on-line from someone’s drawing of Herbie as an Autobot
