Toy Review - HFTD Battle Blade Bumblebee

[Stompy]

The legs do require some Voyager Ironhide like alignment but is actually natural to align.

My mask is held on top of his head pretty tight as well. I had to pop it off the balljoint to get it down and apply some much needed manhandling like TC. Will see if there's an easier way.

Digging the weapons and mask thing. Mine has lots of trouble with mask, it is so tight when on top of his head, I almost have to pull his head off and man-handle the damn mask down....

Needs moveable wrists.

Likey likey. Best Bumbles yet.

Agree with all these~

I'm reluctant to buy another deluxe movie Bumblebee (I only have one, the original 2006 Camaro concept), but having seen this one at a store and after watching a YouTube review, I'm tempted.

this is one fantastic little bugger. Shame my one has a defect preventing the leg from sitting flush in alt mode.

A lot of the posts here are stating that this is the best movie Bumblebee yet - are you comparing it to the other deluxe versions only, or is this even better than HA Bumblebee? Just curious...

Personally, I'm comparing to all, HA included. Specifically, the deluxe's legs are superior and it lacks the bulky forearm kibble on HABB (made for human interaction), and it's generally much more in scale with other movie toys.

better than the HA imo, and I loved the HA, Blade Bee owns it completely.

Definitely to all BBs across the movie. Easily beats HA BB imo. More elegant and accurate in proportions as well. Articulation is far superior too. The onyl superior element of the HA would be the insides of the alt mode but other than that, it's not the definitive BB. This is.

I still prefer HA BB. Battle Blade looks great posed still, but i think he has a few flaws:

- hood of the car in robot mode merely rests in a hole rather than clipping in place - pick him up and it'll move
- too much of the hood is used for his shoulders - i think this is where the original BB'08 is best. HA BB uses the same amount of the hood, but the angle is correct (basically parallel) whereas Battle Blade is pointing too far downwards, making his moveable chest pieces look wrong.
- his hands can't do much (though the finger movement is good!)

Still a good figure, but i think HA BB is the best for overall look, while the BB'08 & variants have the cleverest transformation (automorph handled so nicely).

As long as it's Bumblebee! I'm getting it, but certainly agree that it has more detailed features as compared to the other earlier releases...
