im really into those of G1 homage for my transformers collection. official (takara/ hasbro) or not (3rd party), hunting (haul) 'em down really made me feel gud about it. latest get my hand on is these deluxe class Bumblebee from Art Feathers, just another new 3rd party production house. ok, less words, more pictures since im not that gud to write about something. ha.ha.ha.
in comparison here is its beautiful box-art which simply use the Autobots' logo. simple yet smart (n' big box too!)
on the inside, BB's biography n with a full panel features to tell wuts exactly (condition) inside of the figure n accessories indeed.
paired with Dr.Wu's partners set (of Spike n Sparkplug), its vehicle mode definitely a strong point why collectors should get this BB indeed - yup, a classic volkswagen beetle! to such extend, they (art feathers) did made its rear mirror do reflect images just like a mirror should be then. nice touch!
all connections do intact well enough. no such joint/ surface uneven. juz that both front wheels kinda tight to be roll. factory defect mybe?
as for its robot-mode, the cool gimmick this one BB pack with is that the door on his arm can be removed to actually reflect his ol' G1 cartoon counterpart. rest of his transformation is same as the henkei/ classic/ RTS/ united's ones, except back of his hood can't seems to be intact properly due to the chrome bumper. oh ya, speaking of chrome parts, yup, here got lotsa it! from bumper, to window frame to headlight n wheel-rims, its another add-on point to this 3rd party figure. n its bright yellow color is so nice just to mentioned it.
wut additional features i'd wish is that maybe they (art feathers) in a way could add extra joints at the front wheels so that it could be snap/ push to the bottom of his feat, which would provide more accurate G1 looks.
the set comes with 2x pairs of extra hands (open right palm n' peace-sign on its left), a blaster, Spike Witwicky figure (non-articulated) n toolbox. got lotsa sticker decos also but the sticker set is someone not very "premium" in my opinion. that's why i'd rather applied this reprolabel's one on his chest n boot.
in comparison with Masterpiece' Optimus Prime (MP10)..yup... it seems in scale for sure.
and now, in comparison with rest of the 'bot group!
verdict: well, totally worth it every cents! from its box packaging, accessories, cool gimmick here n there, but minus lil' defect works, think every G1 collector should have this guy, uptill maybe takara/hasbro finally made a MP version of him (BB)
