Will the Black Bee redeco be the regular RID BB or the BH BB?

[griffin]

DLX Night Shadow Bbee? It's the BH version.

Can someone tell me that these new molds arent just legions uped to deluxe size. Because that as a concept would be a sad day for deluxes

[griffin]

They look like it... but maybe just the first wavel.

I wonder if Smokescreen will be in his current blue colour

I just hope this stuff gets picked up by Australian retailers, I don't want to have to keep giving BBTS my money instead of the local chains.

I agree, and not just these figures either. There's plenty on offer-if the majors can sort out their order quantities.

I hope those god awful Beast Hunter deluxes do NOT get released here. I hope they fail completely, because if there is even a moderate chance that they are successful it may encourage Hasbro to make this the norm.

I wonder if Smokescreen will be in his current blue colour

If the images indicate anything then the new Legion is, but the Deluxe isn't.
