More In-hand images of Takara Tomy Masterpiece MP-21 Bumblebee

There IS something off about the shape and the color of his face. The symbol on his foot does blow his cover. Let's hope it's a sticker.

Other than that, I'm excited.
Finally, a BB update that's a VW. I've waited, what, i dunno, 30 years for that?

Sweet Jesus that is tiny it makes Scramble City look like a super base /leader/ ultra class figure

call me a dreamer, but i bet we'll see MP dinobots someday. once they finish the season 1 car bots, they either have to start season 2 guys or make us some dinobots

I don't think you're a dreamer, but I'm not sure you'll see it so soon (people might say the same thing about my hope for Shockwave). Especially since they opened up the cans of worms that are Ultra Magnus and Star Saber, I don't know if we can rely on them to stick to Season 1 or 2 bots in the near future.

You mean like how that old cartoon you hold to such a high regard was?

For the most part, Bumblebee and the rest of the minibots came up to Primes waist level in the cartoon. (yes I know there were some anomalies) But that vintage toy scale where the mini bots only come up to Primes kneecaps is just stupid. I hate the toy scale, always did, always will. While the cartoon was far from perfect, it attempted to correct a lot of things that looked bad in the toy line. The season 1 lineup was mashed together from a bunch of different Japanese toy lines of different sizes. So tweaking the scale in the cartoon made sense. It gave it a more realistic vibe.

that comment was funny, but directly followed by your sig is priceless

Hahaha, Freudian.

Wow, he's smaller than I thought he'd be, but then again, he comes with a Spike in armor that's almost as big as him.

Impressive fig, it's nice to see a gun for Bee, and the spare tire is cool in either of its mounts. I must say though, the paint work has me scared, and the legs look kinda stickly, so I think I'm gonna stick with my Classics Bee for now.

Probably the release I'm looking forward to the most. Finally this iconic character gets a proper figure.

How come a few people already have it?

Correction, 4 inch figure...

Me either...I ordered mine from Japan for like $39 instead.
