Nice shot, bruddah! That's the kind of @Dean ML magic that makes my day!  

 

we need more of that DML magic!

 

Thanks, my dudes! Can’t believe we’ve had this beautiful little figure a whole year now! I need to take some new shots to celebrate for sure. I might be more amazed than ever by this guy, I probably pose & transform him more than any other figure in my collection. An absolute 36yo dream come true having a mega articulated cartoon Bumblebee. Paint is still great all around with only a couple nicks after countless transformations. He sits at a firm #3, right behind Prime & Megatron. I hope Starscream v2 is fun enough to steal his spot!

 

He's a fun little bug if i've ever seen one!

Though I do hope we see something more definitive come out from a 3P. No backpack but still being a super-definitive take on our favorite yellow scout.

 

Aw man, how did I miss that photo. Great shot there @Dean ML . Hopefully you'll do another now that you have the urge again.

 

Well said, buddy! Bee 2.0 turned out to be a surprising amount of fun, much more than I expected him to be based on photos. Once I had him in hand he quickly became a favorite.

Oh, and also I wanted to say that I saw your post in another thread recently about how you almost sold your MPs. I'm so glad you didn't and can still treat us to photos like the one you've posted here. You always bring these figures to life with the way you pose and photograph them, and it heightens my appreciation for these amazing dream toys.  

 

That's the price the official should have been.

 

I love this lil’ guy

 

I still want him, but the fact that he costs more than MP sunstreaker will always bug me.

 

Can't believe it's Bumblebee v2's 1st birfday! This figure just gets better with age! High fives all around to all my fellow MP-45 enjoyers!

 

nice pic!! Ah well if it’s Bee’s birthday here’s the latest pics I have of the little guy...

 

Excellent shots, brother! They show just how alive & expressive he is! He’s just a joy to pose & transform. I love the feel of the figure, firm joints all around & a surprisingly substantial size & heft.

 

Awesome pics as usual guys!

You both have the same paint chip I used to have on his lower right chest or belly I guess. I ended up trying my best to shave off the offending plastic flash that is causing that and I also painted the chip with Tamiya Lemon Yellow. It's the first time I've painted a figure and it was super easy. I used a round pointed brush and I did not need any paint thinner but that may help. That Lemon Yellow colour was a great match on mine and I can't even tell where I painted it.

Just letting you know because on my copy that was the only paint chip and now it's perfect. Cheers!

 

@BrutiKing Quick question, was a paint match for Bee's yellow ever discovered? I wanna say Tamiya Lemon Yellow cause it's been in my Amazon list for AGES, haha.

 

Did you not see my post right above yours saying that Tamiya Lemon Yellow is a match?  

 

Oh shit, haha.

Me and my brain have a long history, i'll tell, ya.  

 

Huge thanks for the tip, brother! Need to order that paint & find the offending flash...

 

I would love a red repaint

 

Yeah or a white bugbite redeco

 

@Paco Grande @Dean ML Thanks guys! Yeah that paint chip is a pretty common “transformation wound” I have been considering dealing with, as I also could use the yellow paint to touch up one of Smokescreen+‘s face sculpts that I scratched up, but I’ve been hesitant to pull the trigger since it’s been almost 20 years since I’ve tried to paint anything more challenging than a wall. I think I’ll give it a shot one day soon though.
