Got Bee today. This is the type of transformer figure I’ve been wanting since the movies started. Transforming is of course the whole point of the toy line, but I feel the robot figure always suffered from the need to transform. Plus Hasbro was never going to offer quality enough paint jobs to do the movie designs justice. So I’m glad to finally have something that properly represents the film robot designs. I can’t wait for Optimus and I really hope we get Soundwave! Those brief minutes on Cybertron is what 3A should be focusing on! Classic designs done justice. I wish they had done that at the start of the series!
The joints are rather tight on the figure but I suppose that’s preferable to too loose. Great size too as it still allows larger characters like Optimus to be made to scale and still be reasonably priced and easily displayed. That premium scale was just too big. The size also still makes these feel like transformer figures. Any bigger and they’d lose that connection and just be cumbersome.
Anyone know if there is a specific scale (1:18, 1:35, etc) these are supposed to be?
