MP-21R Red Bumblebee

[GoktimusPrime]

I don't have an MP Bumblebee, but I would imagine it would have to be a very heavy retool to make an MP Cliffjumper out of it. The side profiles are very different:

Fair point. That might rule out the possibility of being able to retool MP Bumblebee as Cliffjumper at all, which would further justify why TakaraTOMY are trying to milk more from the Bumblebee mould with the G2 and red MPs. Wouldn't surprise me if they did Bug Bite, Glyph and more. Cliffjumper would definitely have to be retooled as Hubcap to help recoup the cost of developing that mould, then probably a G2 MP Hubcap.

They did do the previously (on the G1 mould) eHobby Tigertrack. They may very well do Bugbite.

Thanks! Purchased for $55 plus $10 shipping. Premium Collectables is my go to shop now. I only collect Hot Toys, MP's, and G1 re-issues, and PC stock them all.

Totally agree I now have MP Road Rage and Red BB on pre-order with them, and I think that I will do most of my online shopping with them.

$55 is bloody cheap.

is it an asia exclusive or will Anime export an HLJ get him ?

I can understand people not getting excited by this and the urge too save money by forgoing this, but for a minibot variant hunter this is great.

Red Bumblebee , depending on the shades of red it could either represent one of the various red G1 Bumblebees

From lightest too darkest , Mexican -> Argentinian --> U.S
The Microchange (Japan) and Estrela (Brazil) fit somewhere in between the Argentinian and U.S version.

Maybe the lighting conditions are crap but there are visual differences when in hand

It is Cybertron Satellite promotion not sure if Japanese online stores stock this but i only know Robot Kingdom that usually have these promotion items like the Dark Guard Optimus Prime

$55 is a good price i suppose. If they do end up doing all the colours, the novelty of collecting all of them is kind of appealing at that price.

Is HLJ not getting him or have I missed the preorder?

It's an exclusive for somewhere in Japan, so isn't a regular release MP toy... so isn't likely to show up on HLJ.

It is noted as a "Satellite" exclusive, but like other JP exclusives, it looks to be having a release in Asia as well... so probably best to try a HK source.
