New NewBee with squishy sidekick

Money, violence, sex, computer graphics, scatalogical humor, racism, robots designed to be rednecks but given European accents, and maybe another sequel to the saga... what's not to love? TF m1, Revenge of the Fallen, Dark of the Moon and now Age of Extinction.

New NewBee with squishy sidekick

Post by onslaught86 »

Behold!

Sam action figure with new-mould Bumblebee that he fits into:

I like, I like a lot. Great idea, I'm a huge sucker for scale and such like that. The figure itself looks awesome too. Additional figures sold separately, oooh..

Bah! And after I went and bought that Indiana Jones Mutt figure to go with my Movie I toys too! I mean, we knew this was gonna happen with the second movie, but still...

I'll probably grab it anyway. Finally, we're getting a Bumblebee with a working mask!

I think BB's hand has been replaced by a seat for Sam, that's where the hands go on the toy, and you can't make out a right hand in the photo of the bot mode.

He clearly has a gun-arm there, though, I'd assume it folds up if Sam's not sitting in it.

How do you know it's a gun-arm and not merely a removable accessory? It looks to me like it could be a removable accessory.

Could be, I'm judging by it being a launcher and already the same length as the other arm. If it's removable, I doubt there's a hand underneath.

I really don't need another movie Bumblebee, but Hasbro may have convinced me with the Sam figure. That's a novel enough accessory to convince me to buy yet one more iteration of the character.

If JT is right about this, I will complain as loud as anyone. Louder in fact.

But, for the moment, I will be optimistic, (no pun intended), about this.

Human figures have been long lacking from the line, and this is a welcome expansion.

Heck, I'll buy as many of these as they crank out-- this is the one feature I've wanted from TFs from day one! As much emphasis as they put on the human characters in well... EVERY series (except Beast Machines *spits*) it's surprising they didn't do this a long time ago. I'm probably more pumped for this than any of the other movie toys thus far-- hope it's an expansive line. :D

People spend so much time worrying about whether a figure is "mint" or not that they never stop to consider other flavours.
