You just drank a KO. Ever had your ink cartridges refilled for ten bucks instead of giving HP $18.99 ? You just paid someone to build you a KO. Have you ever paid for a Philly Cheesesteak that was not made in Philadelphia ? You just ate a KO of the city's intellectual property and crapped it out of your a**.



Well, that's all well and good. But... for the most part, I prefer the real thing. I don't want a $20 rolex that looks like crap or a KIA with a Mercedes emblem. KO's serve a purpose, I get it. If no one bought them, no one would make them. Personally, I want the real thing.

Cause I'd like to hear it, who knows, it might just put Jizaitoys' version to shame. Image



Well my issue is with this toy is that if these pics are the final product, the thing looks like it was done half ass. They obviously spent a lot of time designing the transformation. So once they got that right why did they stop there ?

• knee and elbow joints would not have killed them to make
• a face is needed, even if it is painted on
• no gloss coat gives figure that cheap “hand painted” look

I like the inclusion of the quarter fans on the feet as it wasn't necessary but they did it anyway. It's just too simple for my likings.

Cool little guy. Definitely won't be getting it because of the price and availability, but it looks cool. WFC Bee is good enough for my pre-earth Bee.

For a while there I thought I was the only one who thought this thing looked like crap. Glad to see I'm not alone.
The concept and general transformation is really good. They captured his alt likeness perfectly while still retaining his iconic G1 look but the craftsmanship is too poor for me to want to drop $65 bucks for it. Honestly, it looks like a dollar store "Transformer". Paint application isn't going to help this thing any. You can tellby the plastic and the types of joints they incorporated that this thing is a "cheap" build compared to other 3rd party products. You can also get a good idea of the size class by the size of pins and joints. I would lay money on this being a scout class and for me to drop $65.00 for a figure that size, it better have freaking awesome pouring out of every crack and seam.

Guys, this is a handmade resin kit, not an actual toy. You buy this and then you get to build and paint it yourself.
It's not a factorymade finished toy, it's that expensive due to the cost of casting in resin.

You guys don't realize how limited the distribution is for this guy, had he not been a Wonderfest exclusive, and been a plastic toy rather then a limited release garage-kit made out of resin, he would have been alot cheaper. You guys should be familiar with Renderform and what he does, that's basically what Jizaitoys does except that it's a bunch of people and they make like, entire figures.

Not bad, but not quite good enough, either. I would love to have a MTMTE Cybertronian Bumblebee figure, so I'm glad to see it getting some attention. If/when a Hasbro version or a better version from a third party company comes along, I'll buy it in a heartbeat.

Until then, WFC Bumblebee is filling the void. It's a great blend of the MTMTE look and a VW Beetle.
