OK, I have to ask: what is different between Bumper and Studio Series Bumblebee, other than the head?

Yup... This is what you call a minimal repaint/retool...
But, I guess it's to be expected with a set like this one. It's also a reminder (to me, at least) that price hikes really are borderline ridiculous.
So few figures are ever anywhere close to what they're priced... Even for ones that I truly enjoy, such as the SS86 Dinobots, those should be $40-$45 at the most.
And I get it, they're priced to fetch Hastak a certain percentage of profit... But from the buyer's side, knowing that gives a little perspective, and that's about it.
Thanks for the photos, Sabrblade!

I like how they painted as much as they could to make Bumper's bumper appear bigger. He can't drive safely at night but at least that deer he hits wont do any damage.

Not really new. Mold's been used a gazillion times already, and the actual Earth mode Sideswipe was previously found in an Amazon Exclusive 2-pack with BWII Skywarp



Still a really good mold though.

Oh, I know. And that's the point.
BTW, this in an old picture. Missing here is the latest Legacy Armada Wheeljack.

I only own the mold twice. Amazon Sideswipe and Armada Wheeljack. If I ever find a Red Alert, Clampdown or if they ever give us an R.I.D Prowl out of this mold somehow, I'll surely pick it up. A second mildly altered Sideswipe I don't think I need.

Yeah not a single scratch to the fender. The rest of the body may suffer damage but not the fender!

So my simple mind saw this set and I quickly assumed "yeah Bumblebee to repackage and add to a set to make the supply disappear, yeah okay". And just this morning I was checking out Toyhax looking at the Hubcap set causing me to think of Bumper.

Not knowing the fact I'll be looking for sellers looking to break up the set and I'll be picking up Bumpy hopefully for a good buy....'nuff said!

Walmart Opens Store Page For Retro G1-Inspired Seaspray, Plus Potential Brawn Leak
- Motto: "Spellcheck's antithesis."
- Weapon: Saw-Edged Pincer
Walmart has launched the store page for their long anticipated exclusive Retro G1-Inspired Seaspray figure. The figure will be part of their Collector Con on July 24 and go on sale at 7am PT with actual release expected in October. This appears to be an entirely new, never before seen before mold which may make it a harder figure to get than the previous releases in this line, Gears and Bumblebee.
The following description is on the page:
Meanwhile, TFW2005 has posted what is likely our first look at Brawn in the line based on SS86 Brawn. Like the rest of the line he'll be in G1 toy colors, but unlike Bumblebee will feature a new toy-style head. This does not appear to be part of the Collector Con so it's anyone's guess when it'll be available to order.
Let us know what you think of these figures over in the Seibertron Energon Pub forums!







The following description is on the page:
Re-experience the nostalgia of your favorite G1 action figures with the Transformers Retro Autobot Seaspray toy! Toy converts from robot to boat in 22 steps. Seaspray displays a zest for his job unmatched by fellow Autobots. He loves the ocean and its creatures, and he loves the thrill of naval battle. Transformers Retro G1 action figures feature vintage styling, accessories, and special package art and tech specs. Clip out and save the on-box tech specs to share, then see how this figure stacks up against other heroic Autobots and evil Decepticons.

Very cool! He's a proper Seaspray! Will try to get him and that Brawn, though I've still no managed to get Gears. These head resculpts DO beg the question, why no toy head for Bumblebee?

Best guess is that the G1 reissue of Bee they released had the cartoon face so they were referencing that. But if that's the case they really should have given him blue eyes (and a silver bumper).

Yeah. Wish he'd have the toy face. I have a soft spot for the toy faces. I generally consider the toy designs and colours as correct (RIRFIB for me) but admit it does not always hold true. I prefer Dinobots with toy style red eyes but Swoop should always have a blue chest. It's weird how preferences work.

So the obvious question is, why did they move factories? Takara Tomy uses the same factory as Hasbro when it's a figure they share molds on. It's also weird that the head isn't with this mold when we've seen it used with both the VW mold and the Cliff mold. You'd think the head would go with a part the two types had in common.
BTW, Brawn is now on Walmart.com and the price jumped up to $30 since I wrote about Seaspray! https://www.walmart.com/ip/TRA-GEN-RETR ... pe=REGULAR

Looks cool but I’d love a straight up G1 re-release of the original mold.
