Bumblebee Movie Toy News with Role Play Mask Images and Power Charge Bee on Top Holiday Toy List

The mask re-use is mind-boggling levels of laziness/cheapness. They could have at least done some kind of sticker with live-action style details.

The Optimus mask get a free pass. It's close enough. But Bee? Come on, how the hell was this approved?

I expect Target to be the first one to get Bee movie stuff and promote it the most. Walmart has been lackluster, and Target has taken the TRU torch up in the US at least

Amazon JP has the figure for about $55 but is charging $25 for shipping. $80 is a bit much....

I am guessing it will be the same if not more. HLJ is not cheap for shipping. All Japanese places have upped their shipping recently. But at least with Amazon, the price can still decrease. I anticipate a drop to 30% of the initial price. I am doing the preorder while waiting for the drop since as long as you have it on order, you get the cheapest price it was ever at. And if I find a better deal before it comes out, I can simply cancel the preorder no questions asked.

So I did the preorder through Amazon as well. If the price drops, do they notify you? It's hard to keep track cuz the price they advertise isn't the price they ultimately charged me...I'm guessing they had to back out the Japanese tax?

Fellow Seibertronian Blacklai got his hands on a lot of toys from the new Bumblebee movie toyline. There is a pictorial review full of images on their website for the Transformers: Bumblebee Energon Igniters Nitro Series and we have mirrored several of them below. These are the deluxe sized figures that come with the igniter/allspark engine. There are videos below which show how it works and it seems to work perfectly with the alt modes starting to roll smoothly as soon as the engine is pressed (no need to wind up). We get our best look yet at the toys' sculpting and their articulation. The head sculpts are rather impressive (especially Barricade's) but the articulation is very limited. There are no knees and not all have elbows. The robot modes do look good head on though and they all have a very sleek look to them with very little extraneous kibble. These toys are already hitting retail globally so they could hit US retail any day now. If you see these at retail, will you get them?

PrimeVsPrime has now done a video review of Power Charge Bumblebee that he bought at The Entertainer.

Wow, that's probably one of the most creative gimmicks I've seen in a while.

Nitro Barricade looks really slick!

I might just end up getting a bit more of the simpler guys than I planned, they are looking pretty dang awesome

I find it kinda ironic that the power charge bumblebee, that is intended to be gimmick based, kids oriented toy, actually handle his backpack and kibble neater than the studio series version, that is intended for older collector.
