Notice that the Autobot symbol is not visible on the in-box product (alt-mode) and that certain follow-up pictures show it on his chest/roof and also on the driver side of his hood/left foot, while on other pictures it is not there. Same with the "I <3 NY" on the front bumper. Can't tell if this is an actual sticker set that comes with the figure, or was something on hand just to add more decoration.

Regarding the mismatched yellows, I got a flashback of Brian from TFCC at BotCon this year, educating attendees about plastic molded in a certain color vs plastic molded in clear and painted over. I actually have one of these on order, and will try to let y'all know if this is the case or not.

So this figure is deluxe class after all. :D

I wonder why everyone kept in insisting it would be masterpiece scale. Here he is clearly shorter than deluxe Jazz. I see the point about the head being the wrong color. But maybe I can swap it out with universe Bumblebee once he gets new his Renderform "Bumper" noggin. Maybe I can swap out the arms too on a junker if the mold is the same size. The doors pop right off on the Hasbro mold.

There are marked differences between Daimchoic's picture and the ones shown before, where is all the silver etc? Unless Daimchoc has mixed a TF 2010 Bumblebee with the Art Feather one.

Cut-and-shut, Daimchoc?

*EDIT - In fact, the moulds even look different. Is Daimchoc's a custom?*

Yep, defo looks like someones custom in those pictures with Jazz, a good effort but not quite the ticket.

This still leaves us with the idea that he may still turn out to be Masterpiece scaled..?

I guess that may explain why the head looks a little odd, dodgy upscale of the Classics head perhaps?

Im back on the fence for the moment. >:oP

Yes, it's a custom. I thought I had labeled it as such. Sorry for the confusion. It's basically to show the size difference.

Custom huh ??? Wel I hope it turns out to be deluxe size. I have no desire to own an incomplete Team of MP Autobots. I always said unless they are going to do every character, whats the point of oversized figures ???

The user "Uranus" on the ACToys forums has posted a bunch of out-of-the-box photos of this:

Out of the box photos of ART FEATHER BUMBLEBEE

They include comparisons with the Classics toy (it's the same size), as well as with MP-10 and PP05.

EDIT: Oops, looks as though Daimchoc already beat me to re-posting the pics I put on the TFW2005 forums, sorry for repeating - damn he's fast. :) But anyway, there's a fair few more pics at the link above.

These new pics actually make me like this quite a bit more. Especially since I'm using the United version as Goldbug, this would make that seem like more of an upgrade than it currently is. And it's not too large either! I thought it might have bad proportions, but no .... no that's not right at all. The proportions in robot mode look good. But that face is kinda odd.

I wouldn't call this "animation accurate" however - it looks totally different! Those huge doors on his arms and that backpack give it a very different look than and ... I kinda think the classics or Henkei version may be more animation true in robot mode than this. Still, this went from a total pass to a serious consideration for me.

Edit: Oh and there's different yellow there too. Wonder why they couldn't fix that ...
