5 Reasons Why I Adore Revoltech Bumblebee

I've been purchasing Revoltech since 2006. Sometimes, there will be one toy that comes along and make you feel really excited.  Bumblebee is one of them. Why do I adore it? Here are the reasons :


1. Four Fingers!
Something about Bumblebee's stubby fingers makes him look as if he is ready for any form of grappling. Love it! Makes him very poseable with these digits.




2. Attention to Detail
Look at the amount of engine detail on that plastic.



Seeing it in real life makes it all the more rewarding.

3. Hand-gun
The character design made sure that the hand blaster was slightly larger than normal to make it look more formidable. Great! Too bad the movie was a piece of cow dung.

How..

..does one...

....spell the...

...transforming noise?!
4. Transparent Door Windows
They could have painted it white, but they kept it true to form. 


5. Chicken Feet Syndrome
The feet opens up wide like a chicken. The movable toe increases the the angle and center of gravity of the figure. Nice touch.


5.1. Shoulder Missiles(?)
Wanted to highlight another feature, but I am not sure if those guns shoots out missiles. I did not pay much attention during the movie. -_-"
Without shoulder missiles.
With shoulder missiles.


Finally,

the figure is not without its fault. Bumblebee prefers to wobble at the waist region as the legs are too chunky and clunky. 

Also, it does not come with a stand. Without a stand you can make do with a few good poses but like any other figures, he should look better jumping away with a stand.





Despite the minor shortcomings, this is by far one of my favourite Revoltech.

  1. I just bought the same figure and it is awesome, the only bad thing I could say is that it is stable, much needs to be handled so as not to fall = (but it's definitely great.
