R-DESIGN / ART FEATHER - BUMBLEBEE G1 ANIMATION VERSION UP FOR PRE-ORDER

Postby robotmel » Fri Jun 22, 2012 11:10 am

Motto: "I once pooped an Energon Cube!"
Weapon: Dino-Missiles
Pre-orders are now available for the Classics Bumblebee re-shell produced by 3rd party company R-Design / Art Feather via Chimungmung.com.

Priced at $60.00 with $15.00 shipping this is a classics homage to our favourite yellow bug Bumblebee but in his long wished for alt mode of a Volkswagon Beetle.

* * Estimated release date is put around the end of August 2012 * *

This little yellow VW beetle is pictured standing beside the recent MP-10 Convoy/Optimus Prime 2.0 just reaching his hips but it is unsure if this correct as the picture appears a little photoshopped (other photo editing programs are available!).

He comes with a gun, character card, coins, Spike Witwicky figurine, toolbox, sticker and a manual and is presented in a lovely yellow collectors boxed package.

Take a look around Chimungmung for yourself for further info on this great little update of an all time classic character.

Check out the pictures below for some lovely G1 homage awesomeness.

a bit too expensive for such a reshell.
wouldn't mind paying that much if it was a newly designed figure like what I-gear showed us some time ago.

I may have bought this if they did it as a modern Beetle/Bug. That would fit in much better with a Classics collection than this old thing.

I gotta disagree. This is perfect for a classics collection. A lot of people are blinded by the theory behind the so called "classics" line. The alt modes were not modernized to give G1 a modern twist as many speculate. They were modernized to avoid paying licensing fees to various car and airplane companies. And of course Perceptor and Soundwave's alt modes were changed to be more fun for kids to play with. On a side note, the modern VW Beetle is a chick's ride. But the original VW Bug is very popular among hot rod enthusiasts and surfers.

So why is it masterpiece size ? are they planning to make a smaller version for classics collections ?

The G1'er in me is wanting this. I've never ordered from Chimungmung before, I wonder if AcesToyStore will stock this?

It looks like they had to make him longer / taller to accomadate the backseat. BB has gone from the smallest car in G1 to, voyager height here. Or at least it kinda seems that high.

Motto: "Don't do drugs, beer's cheaper anyway!"
So they increased the size to MP Scale?
Now the price seems more justifiable, but it makes this thing suck.

At the end of the day it's still a deluxe, with deluxe engineering and detailing. This would have worked at the deluxe scale as a really cool Classics variant, but at MP size it can only stand on its own. It fits neither with classics, nor with Masterpiece, since Masterpiece, especially now is all about being G1 accurate, which this isn't.

I may pick this up once it goes on sale since I do like it.

I'm not convinced that this is oversized, the pic with Prime looks off to me, like a composite or something. I really want this in deluxe scale.
