Possible street date for the release of the Bumblebee toyline - October 31st.

[griffin]

Even though the expected release date for the full Bumblebee toyline is said to be October 31st, it seems that there will be some "Preview" toys again for this movie, and that they might be out in August (two months before the main toyline release)... based on the shipping of stock this week from Hasbro to distributers. (I guess they have a release date too, but could appear earlier if a retailer accidentally puts them out as soon as they get them)


There appear to be two items being released as "Preview" items - a Bee Vision Mask (said to be a reworked version of the recently released Ironman Mask) to be released globally, while the second item will be different in different countries... either a Stinger Blaster, or an unknown figure that is still only known by codenames.



Meanwhile, more details of products from the main toyline have been revealed as Hasbro sends out details to distributors for their databases and inventory listings.

• Robot Mode height: 25cm
• Lights and Sound

Images of a new gimmick toy for the Bumblebee movie, called Power Charge Bumbebee, which appears to have a wheel in the chest that you turn to charge up the electronics (maybe this is a way of phasing out batteries, as many shippers and postal agencies no longer allow batteries to be posted)


It's nice to see the VW vehicle mode back again.

Coming out at the end of the year, probably just after the movie is out, is a "DJ Bumblebee" toy, which has electronics to record and playback voices, and three song samples for the toy to dance to.
Originally from the gameinformer website...

Transformers: Bumblebee – DJ Bumblebee
Drop the beat with the DJ Bumblebee figure. Using Sing-Back Tech, this figure records kids’ voices, and then plays back the soundbite in sync with 1 of 3 awesome tracks. Kids control the mix – move the figure’s left arm to switch songs and right arm to control the tempo. Figure comes pre-loaded with music clips Walk This Way, originally by Aerosmith, Bust A Move, originally by Young MC, and the original G1 Transformers Robots in Disguise theme song. The DJ Bumblebee figure also dances to the beat during playback. Product does not convert, but can still mix it up.
Price: US$39.99

The first reveals of the Energon Igniters gimmick toyline for the Bumblebee Movie are now out from Geekdad website (there won't be much left to reveal at SDCC at this rate).
This looks to have four size classes, with interactive gimmicks by having plug-in components to activate or release parts of the toy.

• Energon Igniters Speed – $5.99. The smallest of the Energon Igniters, the 3-inch Speed series transforms between modes in 7 steps or less.
• Energon Igniters Power – $9.99. The 5-inch Power series is a little more complex (4-9 steps). You can use the cores sold with the Power Plus and Nitro toys to unlock special features.
• Energon Igniters Power Plus – $12.99. The Power Plus series are similar to the Power series, except these come with the core that unlocks extra features. If you want the cores, go with these versions.
• Energon Igniters Nitro – $19.99.
  

It looks like...
Speed size - Hotrod, Bumblebee, Optimus, Barricade.
Power size - Bumblebee, Megatron, Dropkick?, Hotrod
Power Plus size - VW Bumblebee, Optimus, Camaro Bumblebee
Nitro size - Barricade, Bumblebee, Optimus.

A couple months out from their release to stores, the official images are starting to appear at online stores, as are product descriptions for some of the gimmick toys.

(the toys sound like they are about the same size as Legion, Deluxe and Voyager, but new size-class names would allow them to raise price points more easily with Retailers)

Images include...
Speed size (look to be about Legion size) - Autobot Hot Rod, Barricade, VW Bumblebee, Camaro Bumblebee, Optimus Prime.
Power size (13cm - about Deluxe size) - Autobot Hot Rod, Dropkick, Camaro Bumblebee, Megatron.
Power Plus size (13cm - about Deluxe size, packed with an Energon Igniter) - VW Bumblebee, Camaro Bumblebee, Optimus Prime.
Nitro size (18cm - about Voyager size, packed with an Energon Igniter) - Barricade, VW Bumblebee, Optimus Prime.
-
Power Charge Bumblebee (manual power charge gimmick in chest)
DJ Bumblebee (non-converting - music and dancing gimmick)
Roleplay Voice-changer Masks - Bumblebee (minor redeco TF5 mask) & Sqweeks (remoulded TF5 mask, removed "rusted damaged" top)
Roleplay weapon - Bumblebee Stinger Blaster
