I added a few new DOTM details that the original was missing, like the collar pieces and the new yellow pieces that sit on the shoulders. Also painted the silver trim around the taillights, I really like how that turned out. As always, if you want to see more you can check out my customs page!
As for my thoughts on the figure as a whole, the retooling they did was pretty incredible. The only things carried over from SS-49/74 in alt mode were the doors and windshield/roof pieces. I love that they even added the new exhaust pipes! Bot mode retooling is good too, I really like how the new chest piece was done. The biggest issue with the figure is that it's pretty loose right out of the box, not just the ball joints but the whole door wing/shoulder wheel assembly as well. The paint fixed that all up, but it is a little weird since that isn't a problem I've had with the others I've had of this mold. They also reverted to the brighter rally yellow instead of SS-74's more accurate orange-yellow for some reason, but I was also able to (kinda) fix that. Besides that though, this is a great retool to the already phenomenal SS-49 mold and I'm so glad to finally have a Studio Series DOTM Bee in my collection!

MaximalNui wrote:Yeah, not very interested in any of these multi-packs. Call me when it's an Infernocus that isn't one member short and 4/5ths of retools from a completely different line.

Bee is very solid. I really liked this mold when they created it for 07 Bee, and each remold has been solid as well. I like the new DotM tooling, even if I wish he had a little bit more tooling and paint. He is nice, and definitely the winner of the haul for me.

For all we know, the retail versions might differ considerably to ones by those giving us peegey tips, however "helpful" they may seem. This might even be true if the unboxed versions are BETTER than the originals, and we get our hopes up.

Don't these usually come right off the assembly line? Unless they have Hasbro's serial numbers printed directly on them they're probably final products. Do you have any examples of reviewed figures being different from the retail release (aside from blemishes and broken parts)?

Crosshairs definitely isn't as much of a win as Hot Rod, but the molded detail is pretty impressive.
