    That Iron Man is almost entirely die-cast I think, considering what Mafex and Figuarts cost these days, 90 bucks ain't too bad.

    They have an all-plastic figure in that scale for about 50, so depending on how much die-cast is in these MDLX the price could be somewhere in between.

    I like it, I'm a sucker for a good redesign, so long as the characters remain recognizable, and here's definately the case. If they don't cost an arm and a leg, at least relatively to ThreeZero's stuff, I might go for this line.

    I'm into it. It feels like a hybridization of all Bumblebees. The base design from G1, add the stature of Prime/Cyb, add the grit of the movies.

    Hope so. If these end up small and cheap by three zero standards I might bite. But only if they're small and cheap.

    I’ve been saying since I got their Blitzwing that my ideal Transformers line would be Threezero putting their own spin on G1, but smaller and cheaper than DLX, so assuming the “cheaper” part is right…uh, yes please.

    My dream line would be Transformers Prime in DLX scale from ThreeZero.

    Me too. I have the Iron Warrior Prime but his face isn't great and he is really flimsy but overall looks pretty good.

    VERY quick and dirty edit, but yeah I agree, black legs would work better on this. Yellow worked for BB Bee, but here it looks like PJ pants, while having the legs be black really makes it work as an updated G1 design.

    I would love to see this Bumblebee in a live action movie.

    Probably never going to happen but can we get updates to a majority of the action masters in this style, I want Rad in this style right here.

    I'm sorry so I have a couple of their DLX figures, but what size is this supposed to be?

    Do we know what the difference between an MDLX and a DLX is yet?

    What the BB movie design should\'ve been. If you wanted to make it a true \"reboot\", than not only should you have released it later than the last knight, but should\'ve also redesigned bee as well.

    Wouldn't it be great if Bumblebee looked like himself like this in the movies? I'd like more black but other than that, this is a great look.

    Then they can work on getting him to act like himself and we'll be all set!

    Is no one gonna talk about what a cool reinterpretation of Bumblebee/Ironhide/Ratchet's pistol that is?

    No word yet, but speculation is that these are smaller 6 inch scale figures.

    I find it weird to announce a product without
    explaining what it is. But if these are truly smaller, that'd be cool. I wouldn't mind collecting the Bumblebee movie stuff at this size.

    I'm gonna say right between Chug and MP. Putting them about the same size as figures in the 3K Flame Toys line but looks like these figures will scale better as Bee is much smaller than Prime while FT figures seem to all be roughly about the same size so far.

    Definitely keeping my eye on this project! I have the sneaky suspicion that these designs could end up being used in future G1 live action movies! I would literally loose my shit! And be able to say...FINALLY!!!
