New Unmasked Version of B127 Bumblebee Deluxe Toy shown in Video Review

I'll be honest, I might get this repaint. I didn't like the always on battle mask look, but this unmasked one looks nice. Plus, it'd go nicely with the Wheeljack, and any others we get

They're not treating this as a separate release, right? So it's less a "redeco" and more a "running change" or "variant", right?

I'm seeing people speculate this is for Buzzworthy so yes it's a separate release.

I'm just hoping we get an equally dope Cliffjumper re-release in Buzzworthy, I skipped both Cliffy and B-127 on their first release thinking they were a one off but after seeing the pics of PvP's stolen Wheeljack I want all these Cybertronian Autobots from Bumblebee. Praying that a Cybertronian Optimus is in the pipeline as well because he's the only one not leaked at the moment but neither was this new B-127 so there's hope.

This seems too different to just be a running change for SS70.

There is precedent:

Arguably that precedent is 23 years old. They did do that in the Movie lines though

It all depends on what product number they're given, really. During Beast Wars Hasbro did experiment with variants like shown above, with the caveat they have the same product number. We may see them as different, but to the stores at least they're the same product, be it black or white. Hasbro pulled that stunt again with the RiD Mini-Con 4-packs all sharing the same product code, despite having different contents.

Straight re-releases like ER Astrotrain, Kingdom Arcee and Kingdom Leader Optimus Prime, despite looking the same as their predecessors, should be noted as while it's expected for them to keep their product codes, their original assortments and their codes were discontinued, so new codes were assigned.

I finally figured out what to do with my extra Barricade from the Buzzworthy 2-pack - here's Studio Series Recon Barricade!

A nice callback to the old 2007 repaint.

Thank you very much! I never owned the original, but I really liked the color scheme and thought it'd be fun to try!

I'm sure most people here believe that there are simply too many Bumblebee toys in the market too. I'm not the minority here.

I agree with you about the bumblebee toys

They really are beating a dead horse with how many there are by now. It's crazy.

Yeah, hopefully at least some people out there are happy about it
I've yet to see a single bumblebee figure that I consider worth picking up. Only one that's tempted me has been the buzzworthy saucer bee
