3 THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT THE BUMBLEBEE MASTERPIECE FIGURE
The news has broken, and the excitement is spilling out in waves. The Masterpiece Bumblebee figure will soon be available, and we assume you—the fans, collectors, and more—have some questions. As a preemptive strike, here are 3 things to know about this monumental action figure!
So…when exactly CAN we get it? And what will it cost me?
Short answer: Soon! Longer answer: The Masterpiece Bumblebee figure was created for ages 8 and up, and is slated for release in summer 2017. It has an MSRP of $79.99.
Is this modeled after the TF 5 Bumblebee, an earlier incarnation, or something different all together?
This Masterpiece Bumblebee figure is based on the first Transformers live action movie using some die-cast parts to commemorate the film’s 10th anniversary . .
Timeout. Does it convert?
Does it ever! Much like in the first Transformers live action movie, Bumblebee converts from his dynamic, Autobot scout form into a 2006 Chevy Camaro concept car. The figure also has a whopping 33 points of articulation, making it a collectable, and versatile figure. The design premise allows fans to articulate the figure into all sorts of movie-accurate poses!
Too much yellow already!

Me: well, maybe just a little money.

I doubt any amount of lighting and photography tricks or lack of skill would account for the smokey gray to now be blue.
Even the box shows it as smokey gray.
I'll wait for in hand review before actually deciding whether I want it or not.

Finally, does this mean there will be other MP Bay figures? We kinda already got it with the Buster mold of Optimus Prime, but I'd really love to see a MP rendition of Optimus Prime. The MAD engeneering it would require...
