Do you have any recommendations for outstanding figures, from the past few years, that may not fit my theme, but I should be aware of [e.g. Legacy Armada Prime]?

Also, I'm debating throwing Buzzworthy Bumblebee Origins Bumblebee in my "to get rid of pile", any thoughts one way or the other?

If you don't like Origin Bee, you don't like it. That's it, that's all. ¯\_( ͡°ヮ ͡°)_/¯

As for outstanding toys, I could make you a list but before I waste my time, I must ask.

Does scale matter?

Must it be Generations (G1) style absolutely?

Does age matter?

Bayverse toys count?

Masterpiece count?

Does price matter?

Answer these clearly and I'll make you some recommendations based on what I own or used to own.

I guess not?

Must it be Generations (G1) style absolutely?

No, not really.

Does age matter?

Yes, I'd prefer relatively recent figures, maybe 5-6 years-ish?

Bayverse toys count?

I guess... never was a fan, but I have BB 102 RotB Optimus, SS 100 Bumblebee and SS 85 Arcee...

Masterpiece count?

I'd prefer to avoid them, but count me curious.

Does price matter?

Yes? It depends? I didn't think Haslab Unicron was worth his crowdfunding price for example.

Yea... undecided about origin Bumblebee... he tends to be fiddly and kibbly. Thus the indecision.

Anyway, answers above. Mostly a curiosity question - please don't put much thought/effort into it.

Considering solidity, fun factor, overall coolness and great looks, here's a few in video reviews form.

I'll skip over G1, but everything else will be fair game age-wise.

There's many versions of this.

Do NOT fear the clear on this one. The clear is kinda "rubbery", thus basically unbreakable.

Golden version here, but the normal yellow version is easier to get.

And lastly, this mold is hated, but I ADORE it:
