Toy Review - Studio Series DLX Bumblebee

I fixed the roof hinge problem by adding a metal pin. No problems with it now.

How did you insert it?

I dunked mine in boiling water than pressed it back in, that seems to have done it

I poured boiling water from the kettle over the end bit and pressed them in slightly a few times. It stays on now.

Pity the weapon arm keeps popping off. I am interstate for work so will have to clear nail polish it when I get back.

I got around to doing the boiling water fix on the joint, and mine is nigh on perfect now.

I really enjoy this figure. The only real criticisms I can muster are an inelegant hood transformation (stuffing the hood and grill down between the headlights feels like it's going to break something) and that the legs are a little chunky in the calf.

Otherwise, this is a great figure, once fixed. I've voted "Only if", with the caveat being you need to be willing to do a bit of work to fix up the figure out of the box.

Once fixed, this probably edges Stinger for best in size class for this wave.

One thing I only noticed today is that the roof kibble actually tabs into place in robot mode. If you look closely you can see little pegs and a rounded nook up near the sholders, and the clear plastic hinge actually has a slot. If you get the angle right and apply pressure in the right spot it actually stays in place really well. Definitely increased my opinion of the figure.

interesting, I'm hoping to pick this up at Big W this week .

Well one part already has holes. Like they were going to use a pin. Cost cut? So I just drilled a hole into the other half and inserted a pin I made out af a picture hanging nail. Took less than 5 min to do.
