he looks like he's in pain. someone put the poor kid out of his misery.

 

Awesome....too bad this is the only 3D homeage to Bumblebee we'll really be seeing this year. I don't dislike movie Bumblebee as much as I did in the beginning...but still as a longtime "G1 and BW purist"..I KINDA DO.

 

I don't understand the appeal of busts or most statues, and I don't think this one is helping me understand at all. However, I KNOW I am going to get chewed up for this, but if Diamond Select can afford to make these full molds and sell them for $50 or $60, why is it that botcon and TFCC act like making a new head mold and a new paint job on a figure requires them to charge $80 or more on their exclusives? Are these statues just so massed produced that it makes up for the expense? Go ahead, yell at me!

 

The average statue run is probably less then a run of toys for the Transformers club exclusives.

 

i like the combining of toy/cartoon details. he even has choro q details on his chest.

 

For those of you old enough to remember, it looks a bit like Corky from Life Goes On.

 

Man that face sculpt makes him look so deformed.

Terrible.

 

The expression and chin completely ruin it! What a waste, the bust is otherwise pretty interesting.

Then again, I only like statues, not busts and I'm pretty selective to boot. Only two I have are the SD Magnus and HH Rhinox. I love them, but I'm not diving into just any old statue.

 

I don't think it's that bad ... but I think the face looks more like Cliffjumper than like Bumblebee.

Of course, wait for the repaint!  

 

Hehe, man that's pretty fugly. BB totally has a "Wait, what?" expression on his face. His body is a big squooshed too, would have been cool if his torso had better Beetle detailing.

 

Just curious, what are these Diamond statues made out of? Polystone like the Palisades statues or something different?

 

Looks ok, but the face seems off. Maybe the chin's too big.

 

since when was BB alt mode Desperate Dan??

from robot to comic character in the flick of a chin

 

that is one horrid bust. hard heros are much better.

 

that chin is beyond off. ugh.

 

Oh, I know.... but I don't have to like it.

Gawd, what'd Bumblebee ever do to deserve this thing? A Cliffjumper repaint would just be a crime.

Bring back Palisades, fer crissakes...

 

If only the mouth were a bit lower... he looks like he has that Mugsy voice with his lips where they are. Otherwise, fantastic piece- especially since it looks rather aggressive. If there's one thing I like, it's when Bee's portrayed like a WARRIOR and not like a little kid that hangs out with humans.

 

I agree 100%...

not too great a statue...
