These things are always so uncanny to me. Also obligatory “don’t buy one second hand” comment.

 

Nice design, but not something I'd spend money on. The actual G1 bumblebee artwork next to it though, that would make an awesome figure or model kit. Too bad Kotobukiya only did those "D-Style" SD kits.

 

Maaaaaaaaaaaan this Bee is plain adorable! Too bad I don\'t buy scale figures (yeah I don\'t like spending money on toys that can\'t even move...).

If this design was reused for an action figure/plamo I\'d totally buy her.

 

Degenerate crap ... I like it.

 

Made me think of this sticker I always see on etsy

 

Man, lizard-lips is spot-on smooth!

~L~

 

sigh… I would just like a mainline G1-ish CHUG transforming Bumblebee I don't have to buy from a scalper. Sure, can buy a statue, a non-transforming figure, a plamo, a cheap Cyber-versey version, and an array of Cronenberg-bodied Bayverse ones. And now a waifu…

Non-ironically, I watched that promo video. And now I need to take that out of my YouTube history. Because the algorithm is gonna get weird if I don't…

 

  Nicely drawn, but yeesh.

If you ever wanna check out some whacky, legally in a grey area and occasionally pretty awesome merch, Etsy is your place to go.

[Transformers to Bishoujo?] Bumblebee, pre-orders start!

 

I wonder if they'd ever considering doing this in 6" figure scale. I'd probably grab Megatron just because having that massive cannon on her shoulder is pretty hilarious.

 

FYI, there's a survey included in the blog post, in Japanese. You can request characters to appear in the TF Bishoujo line, and characters from other lines in another question. Best answered in Japanese, use machine translation if needed.

Personally, since the planner already wants to make Soundwave and Shockwave, I won't put them down in the survey.
I plan to write in G1 Jetfire, Drift, Nautica, Skywarp and Thundercracker (to complete the Seeker trio, assuming Starscream is the next Bishoujo according to the Anime Expo fan vote), the Dinobots, Wheeljack, and ask them to make combiners like Superion, Menasor, Computron, Bruticus, Devastator, Predaking. Would also ask that they do Shattered Glass characters.

Outside of Transformers, I'd want to see Warframe, Marvel Symbiotes (Kotobukiya has made ArtFX Symbiote statues), Kamen Rider.

 

I'll bite, what's eye-roll worthy about this evidently machine-translated section?

 

god i wish that were me

(I'm talking about Cheetor)

 

Kotobukiya has an Ikemen line too, fyi.

Does it weird anyone else out that the spare is just THERE on her back like it's part of the hoodie? It's not even a little backpack like you saw everywhere in the 90's/00's.

Yes, I realize that's a weird thing to focus in on but honestly I didn't have much else to say. The design is BB as a human female.

Now that just leaves old Starscream to get the anime girl treatment.

 

She’s a cutie. I like to imagine that this is a hologram avatar that Bee uses in environments where a military aged man would attract too much attention.

 

TTS post. I can’t even be mad.
