This is awesome . I hope they do this with more (or all) of the mini bots. If course for that price.... maybe not. 😢 Also I like that the rub sign is somewhere that is usually unseen. I always took them off and replaced with any extra regular insignia I had.
"The Office" jokes never fail to amuse. LOL! My OG G1 looks down as well, that may have something to do with the square backplate. I can't wait to get mine, he looks so good.
I’m a bit disappointed the decal on the back of the head was a sticker rather than a painted detail like the “stickers” on C-01 were. I’m otherwise very excited for the future of this line. Great review!
Can't wait to get mine. He's going in a little sub collection of Bees that I have going. (I use MP-21 in my main CHUG collection for the alt ode scaling) Definitely getting Cliffjumper, too. He was the first Transformer I ever owned, so I can't pass up a chance to have the updated version.
So I have Cliffjumper, Bumblebee, Prime and now Sunstreaker on preorder at BBTS. The estimated ship time for Cliffjumper and Bumblebee was November so since you have yours I wonder if I will see a ship notification soon...
What a crappy little box ! .....one of the best things about the original 80's toys was the awesome packaging! I used to cut out all the pictures & stat cards ( I loved them!) and blu-tack them to my bedroom wall....that way I could change them whenever I wanted & make a kind of "collage" of my favourites....😂
Yours has the same issues mine does - head won't fit flush, doesn't like to stay up all the way in bot mode, and the ankle transformation joints were *scary* tight. My Cliffjumper fortunately works far better, zero issues with him aside from the head not being 100% flush; it's about 95%. I do realllly wish they'd used the anime face on BB - dunno why they didn't with him, but did with Cliffjumper. Just odd.
Thanks for letting me know about yours having the same issues. may be a widespread issue with Bee. Ill see how Cliff is when he arrives. As for the faces; they are the original toy faces for both. I do wonder if we will see "Anime version" of Bee since they have done that in the past.
Seriously how much are these supposed to be? In Australia the only site that has them is charging the same as a leader class.. actually a bit more than I paid for SS86 Springer..
I'm guessing they're almost all like that. Both of them. Because they're so small made. You might have to get a screwdriver to tighten some things up if you can?
If you think that's bad, Sunstreaker and Cordon are $80! That's nuts. Wanted them but I'll pass. That's Masterpiece prices right there. Ridiculous! Almost as much as Siege Jetfire.
I really wanted to keep up this collection of ML figures, but I seriously cannot justify 40 for each, and then 80 for Cordon and Sunstreaker. If they were two packs for those proces, I'd for sure get them, but alas, entirely too expensive

So excited to get this guy and Cliffjumper soon! Great review!

I absolutely love him. My Cliffjumper is on the way, hopefully I'll get him this week.

Great Review, GhostPrime! If G1 looked like in in the beginning, I wouldn't have mixed feelings about it!!

Amiami didn’t fulfill my preorder, ended up buying them from Amazon Japan. I’ll end up with mine next week.
I've never ordered from them, but was considering pre-ordering Missing Link Sunstreaker. Do they drop Pre-orders often?
Old toys coming to life!
Soooooo..... when are we gonna get the cartoon face version?
If they do it, I'm for it!

no new head sculpt ? zz

Well according to bbts in the US, Cliff and Bee are $40 each. Cordon and Sunstreaker are $80 each
Love him except for having not painted headlights, but G1 didn't have that either.
No the headlights are not painted like some of the reissues. This is more in line to be faithful to the Vintage
The gap is for penny wheelies

All Pins, Its not really too bad, honestly.
And P.S. Soundwave is the best !
40?! This shouldn’t be more than 20!
Yeah, it's pricey for sure. Completely valid argument.

I bought this so long ago I forgot arrived sat
I didn’t preorder this new version of bumblebee. As I’m happy with my original version. And I’m afraid to lose the gun. Looks cool only to display.
True, The gun is tiny, and these probably wont hold up to a huge amount of play. They are more Like MP in that way.
Impressive articulation for such a small figure. The head gap is disappointing though
In the chest? Its made like that purposefully, just like the vintage.
@GhostPrimeReviews No, the gap when the head flap is closed down in vehicle mode
@MatthewCaunsfield Yes. I was thinking you meant in Bot mode. I compare this with the vintage and make that point in this video. :)
@@GhostPrimeReviews Yes, that's why I thought the term "head gap" would be OK, but I completely overlooked the gap in his chest! 😂
are these made in china the orginals were made in japan?
They are made in China
@@GhostPrimeReviews but why i thought they were supposed to be made in japan
@@troybrothers-q8p They were Japan in the Early days of the Vintage Transformers. They changed a few different places.
@@GhostPrimeReviews where do they make them now?
Gosh this is a dreamy concept, skipped prime but in on everything else so far.
