Buzzworthy Bumblebee new toy/line

[griffin]

Some small official images have been found of a Cyberverse 4-pack (of Warriors), which looks to be all exactly the same as their original release.
It contains Earthmode Optimus, Bumblebee and Starscream with Cybertronian mode Megatron.

This was originally expected to be released at Myer here, in the second half of this year.

A bit of research has found that this 4-pack is the "Evergreen Warrior 4 pack", which we should be getting here in the 2nd half of the year, as a Myer exclusive.
Since they are all just re-releases of Cyberverse Warrior toys, and Myer pricing is likely to make it more than the four individual toys... this news is not too exciting.

The Origin Bumblebee has now been found at US Retail, at Target... which is shown to be the same size as the Netflix Bumblebee (which itself was that smaller size Deluxe from the Cliffjumper mould).
No price mentioned yet, but hopefully not more than a Deluxe toy.

I think the interesting thing comparing the Netflix Bumblebee to the Buzzworthy 4 pack is how the 4 pack feels more vibrant and full of character.

Part of this is the need for the Volkswagen roof as the chest, which makes him look stumpy and more rounded. The other factor is the colour with the brighter yellow better reflecting the cheeriness of the character and the vibrancy of the cartoon.

This was the same back and forth during the original Masterpiece, and seeing the two together shows that the hope of getting a VW Bumblebee will always be compromised in some way.

Looking good. And no stupid junk like the most recent Buzzworthy Bumblebee. Really rather ticked I missed the one-day-window to order from TFH

I take back the bit about no junk. I forgot about the energon rods, and it turns out that the toy can't hold them. In fact no toy with 5mm hand-holes will be able to hold them, because they are capped at each end with something thicker than that, and the caps can't be removed.

That's just daft. Can't imagine what Hasbro were thinking there; stupidest Transformers decision I've seen all year, and that includes the bizarre 4-pack with Fangry.

The second wave of Studio Series "repacks" in the Buzzworthy Bumblebee packaging are 2-packs this time.... and they are supposed to be at Target here like the first wave was.

There looks to be three 2-packs in this wave, and they have just been found at the same time in Asia and America (at US Target for us$42 each), so could be just weeks away from being released here as well.

Mv1 - SS-27 Clunker (60s) Bumblebee & SS-28 Barricade
Mv4 - SS-79 High Octane Bumblebee (re-release AOE DLX toy) & SS-02 Stinger
Mv6 - SS-18 (VW) Bumblebee & SS-46 (car) Dropkick

(There are four packs to a carton, so there could be a fourth 2-pack... although, one photo suggests there could be 2 of the 2007 packs per carton - we might have to wait a few days to see for sure.)

That should mean the real SS-79 toy is indeed going to be the 2014 AOE Deluxe toy, which could look a little different in design to the rest of the Studio Series display.

Another couple of Buzzworthy Bumblebee toys from wave 2 have also been found (at US retail) - two RID Crash Combiners, redecos of Grimlock & Bumblebee, and Grimlock & Optimus.

For those of us in Australia, we were supposed to be getting three of this second wave (if they are still coming here, they should start showing up in the next month or two)...

F1584 TRA BB CRASH COMBINERS 2 PACK (these are the two RID packs in this post) - KMART

F1852 TRA BB EVERGREEN WARRIOR 4 PACK (this is the 4-pack with Fangry, Bumblebee, Nemesis Primal and Blackarachnia) - MYER

F1853 TRA BB BUMBLEBEE 2 PACK STUDIO SERIES (these are the three 2-packs of Studio Series toys that were just revealed in the post above this one) - TARGET


As such, I don't think we will be getting here, the other two Buzzworthy toys from this second wave (the Power Charge Bumblebee in post #18 and the Origins Bumblebee in post #19).

That's a bit disappointing we wont get the new figure but all of the redecos.

After the poor performance of the 2pack with Spike, Hasbro Australia are probably glad that they didn't get the origins BB, as it would is an expensive figure as well, so would have been pricey here too.

Yeah every Kmart seemed to get like 20+

The releases announced to be coming will be pricey anyway as they're all multipacks.
