    Yeah I figured that would be the problem, I thought light scratching over time may be the only chance other than maybe Reprolabels doing a cover of some kind. I hate that they put a insignia there.

    Your other option is mixing a matching paint and just painting over it. If it's a really good match it might not be so noticeable. Otherwise try just rubbing it off? You might remove the symbol before removing any yellow paint underneath, but can't be sure of that.

    Same thing with my Bee from AE. JP tracking only shows that it left Japan on Dec. 5th and no further updates, but USPS shows that it arrived in Dallas yesterday and should be delivered to Houston in a day or two.

    Regarding the Autobot symbol on his foot, I was discouraged to see just how easily it scratched off.

    What really bothers me is that Daniel has two of the same side pieces used for his elbow. So one side of his vehicle mode doesn't fit properly. That piece is supposed to be different for each side.

    Masterpiece Bumblebee is a fantastic figure. I'm still playing with mine.

    So... I noticed way back when that Alternity BB was out of scale.. well looking at him next to MP BB they seem to be scaled well. Really wish I had gotten Gold Bug as they would make a great display together.

    Just got him today. The engineering that went into this figure is great. Got mine from AE, he sat in shipping limbo for about two weeks before an update within the states. Two more updates and he was at my doorstep today.

    I have had my Bee for a bit and he is just an awesome figure! So intuitive to transform and very poseable. Mine had no issues although Spike seems to like to lose his left arm for some reason but I have to admit that I am not really into the Spike addition but I'm sure some will love him. However I like Bee much more than I thought I would. Well done TT.

    Yup, he did arrive today. Only one foul up I can see is the part of the hood that folds into the torso in bot mode is a brighter yellow, like it got more coats or something....stands out a lot.

    I came up with a clever idea for upgrading exo-suit Spike...
    ...an actual face!

    Has anybody tried adding Future polish to the ball joints on the exo suit figure? I'm thinking Maybe bulking up the ball joints may help keeping them in place.

    Should work.

    I really wish Dr Wu had nailed their Spike head as well as their Daniel head. I guess it's a better starting point to work with than the stock head anyway.
