A remold. Guess I should have expected this. At least the new head sculpt looks a lot more accurate. Looks like most of the surviving cast of the first film will get remolded toys with slightly more movie accurate parts.
It's nice, but I actually kinda prefer the old head sculpt. Also, does this one not have a right hand. Looks like his weapon is molded into place. Shame. I think I might stick with my current CC08 Bee. I do like the new bumper though, and it's nice that the undeniably more accurate head sculpt will be available for those who want it. Mind you, this has rather whetted my appetite for ROTF Ironhide....
I'm surprised they even bothered doing a remold at all when it's as barely noticable as what we're seeing here. Save for the gun update, I'm willing to bet 95% of Joe Public won't even be able to tell the head or fender got tweaked. Regardless, CC Bumbles still looks the most accurate. Not sure why the Premium Edition or this new version would be utilizing so much light grey considering BB never looked that way in the movie.
The new head and bumper look VERY good, but the rest looks a bit weird, and why are there so little paintapps? I hope Ironhide will have an entirely new figure, myself. The previous one was good, but a little lacking as a movie design.
