Well...I'm glad I bought the One-Step Stinger, now. That has zero attractability in my book. I'm sure plenty will love it and that's fine, it's just not enough for me.
I'm incredibly disappointed by this. I'll bet we'll get one in one of the future movie lines. Still...

It's great this actually exists in some fashion now, but the mold's shell-former-ness made me think they'd reshell Stinger as a proper Pagani. It just feels like we've waited all these months for something half-assed (and for many, limited to being an expensive import).

Me outraged:
Rage table flips
Why has no one thought of this sooner
Me wanting a sale:
Predicts TakaraTomy lost age deluxe class stinger on sale at BBTS or hobby link Japan for roughly $40-60 conservativly speaking could be wrong.

Movie lines are the primary part of my collection, with a bit of CHUG and a heavy dose of 3rd party thrown in. (Probably more 3rd party than CHUG...although I should probably do a count.) As for BKG? Thanks, but no thanks. I'm fine with the copper colored mass release one.
Now, the redeco/remold of Optimus that's coming? Oh yeah, that one's preordered.

Wow... hasbro didn't mess up for once... instead takara did. While the paint looks very detailed I was expecting the retool too... oh well... at leaSt the robot mode is accurate

I don't see what people are disappointed about. This is exactly what I thought a deluxe Stinger figure would be.

But the thing is, guys, though Hasbro didn't state this publicly at the panel, it was stated at the Hasbro booth at BotCon 2014 that there were indeed plans to remold Bumblebee into Stinger as a full blown Pagani, but the figure never made it all the way through the production process and was dropped. Thus, no remolded mold for Stinger exists, leaving it to fall to Takara to give us a straight redeco.

Well I think this is right, just a pre movie concept as the plot says: "based on Bumblebee, but improved in every aspect... Stinger" therefore is an attempt before taking the pagani shape, besides Stinger has many forms in the movie so this should be just one of those.

No, there's only one Stinger in the movie's final battle. Those multiple red bots you see are Traxes.BERSEKAEL wrote:Well I think this is right, just a pre movie concept as the plot says: "based on Bumblebee, but improved in every aspect...

In Takara's defense, creating the molding for a totally new shell for the figure would cost a lot, probably more than they'd get back from the investment (and that's not even touching on licensing). Takara have only been doing small retools to Movie Advanced molds and a full reshell would probably be too expensive.
On the plus side, because he is a shellformer it should be easy for an enterprising fan to convert him into a proper Pagani.

I have a couple of things to say to this:
1) Why do people never follow the "Hope for the best, prepare for the worst" principle? We all expected a simple redeco at the very least, anything more would have been a bonus.
2) This is probably the first red Movie-verse Bumblebee that isn't a Cliffjumper.
3) It seems red is the universal color of bad luck for cars. Ratchet was changed from the planned red to his current neon green, Dino and Stinger both have toys that do not match their car models in the movie (except for Dino's Speed Star and Stinger's One-Step toy).
