The Walmart exclusive WFC Netflix line brings us our second version of the previously Japanese exclusive Deep Cover character, forgoing its usual black and blue look for a navy blue deco splotched with battle damage. Surprisingly, this is the most solid version of the mold I've handled, your mileage may vary though. There's not a lot new to recommend here so buy the figure if you're really, really into the mold.

Makes one wonder what Hasbro might have offered in Wave 2 in place of those three had the pandemic not happened.

Oh, she was just going to be a retool in the main line? Did not know that.

She's a pretool of ER Arcee, and by rule of thumb, Netflix is all redecos. That's where the theory of releases being shuffled comes from.
That'll probably be the majority opinion, but for me personally, the only point of this line has been obscure Decepticon repaints/generics and the Cheetor with better coloration, Wave 2 was the only wave that actually had nothing I wanted (although if I didn't already have PotP Nemesis, the Spoiler Pack would have been sorely tempting).o.supreme wrote:I think when fans look back at this line years later, the overall consensus will be that Wave 2 of the Netflix series was by far the best (In that it offered 3 unique and highly desired retools, and arguably the best Spoiler Box).

If I'm remembering right, I think one of the leakers said that more specifically, Bee and Soundwave were supposed to be mainline figures that got moved to Netflix because there weren't enough mainline spots and their amounts of retooling meant they wouldn't fit in Selects, while Elita was a Selects release that got moved to Netflix, but obviously we don't have specific proof of that being 100% accurate.Sabrblade wrote:And that's mainly thanks to Covid forcing what were supposed to be three normal Earthrise figures into this line.
That makes more sense to me, seeing as how her lack of animation accuracy is more similar to Selects figures than the mainline ones.Nemesis Primal wrote:while Elita was a Selects release that got moved to Netflix.
M. Spector wrote:Ok, so I have a question for the few of you who have Bee and Cliffjumper:
One of the things that kept me from picking up Cliffy is the fact his feet are so big and clompy! I know its weird but it hampers the enjoyment non the less. So the question is, how clompy are the VW feet on Bee? A little more minimal, more streamlined bc of the curves?
The only reason i ask is because on the off chance he pops up in stores it might be fun to pick him. My collection has 0 Bumblebees, especially a G1 styled version. And if Bee tickles my fancy enough might pick up the other mini-bots, Huffer and Warpath, to complete a little team trio. But honestly right now Warpath is being held up by the same feet issue and Huffer because .. well hes whole front end just turns into a hoodie (sigh) It sure is fun being a manic toy collector

If I run across him I'll let you know and if you want you can get him for cost plus shipping.Sowndwave76 wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:Which ones are you looking for?Sowndwave76 wrote:I’ve given up hope for any NF figures from previously released waves... Haven’t seen anything in weeks.
I’m only wanting Bee at this point.
I was lucky enough to find Soundwave, & have OP shipped.
I’m pretty sure the next NF figures I find will be the new ones; sparkless & Deep Cover.
