How Come Unleashed Bumblebee Doesn't Have A Turnaround?

Postby Bumbled » Mon Jul 23, 2007 2:16 am

Why is it that Optimus Prime and Megatron get a turnaround and Bumblebee doesn't, I just find that strange :?

Let me ask you this: as a proud owner of BB Unleashed, would you rather have a turnaround feature and a smaller robot like Prime, or would you have the detailed action-packed sculpt that BB has, but without the turnaround?

I was a bit disappointed that the Turnarounds don't have the same feel as with BB Unleashed. They look mundane almost, constrained to a size and pose that won't overwhelm the turnaround feature.

While BB didn't have the turnaround to worry about, and they could make his pose as wild as they liked. The focus therefore is on the sculpt, not the turnaround. The packaging is also a lot less conventional than the Turnarounds. I can't wait to get my Unleashed BB in the post :-)

Well Unleashed Bumblebee is like what $25 here in the AUS and $15-$20 over there because its been out for about 1-2 months now where else Unleashed Optimus Prime and Megatron will start where Unleashed Bumblebee started around $35-$40 AUS and $30 for US

Sorry about this double post but to answer your question : I totally agree! The Optimus Prime Unleashed didn't look as finely detailed as Bumblebee's and Megatron is also pretty good. I guess I could say at this point of time that I would rather the non-turnarounds because of their better space to make the sculpture... but then again they could expand the size a little bit to make a turnaround for Bumblebee or maybe just lower the size for the turnarounds and make the Sculpture a better detailed version.
