    I’ll be honest I kinda was expecting this even before we saw the toy or trailer.

    And I’m sure HO Bee, and TLK Bee will probably the same as the others Camaro Bee’s.

    Bumblebee's head looks a lot better in those turnaround shots.
    It's likely suffering from a lack of paint, the *squints* gunmetal gray really helps set the eyes back, instead of making them seem bulged out

    The render of the head is so much better. This is how it should have been painted.

    I’m hoping the actual copy looks like this and it’s another BBM Blitzwing’s head situation.

    For real. Hopefully though it does look like that cause even the tiny paint around the optics helps the face.

    And I just noticed that the copy we saw’s face isn’t even fully painted like the render.

    They were also well painted, had a gimmick that didn't screw over the toy (there were some exceptions obviously, but most were fine), pinned wheels, no dogshit rolling clearance and consistently had window inserts lol

    what does budget does to a mf

    Well damn. Guess it’s not a mistake. Really unfortunate seeing this and then seeing what they did with the BW B-127 head sculpt.

    People talking about the prices going up while I am glad the prices are going down for me. Now some deluxes went from 34 euros to 32. Still can't stand Voyagers at 50 euros. Still an improvement is an improvement.

    So these are not based off of the final CGI model as we were told they were going to do for the ROTB SS toys?
