But if you had to use a tool to pry them apart, then they sound just as bad as on the Hasbro version.
Strange isn't it, worst case of cosmic tightness I've seen since TFA Ratbat (whose head I clean snapped off on first transformation ). See Gok, this is what happens when Ratchet isn't included in the first lot of figures. Who's gonna fix them??

Is it possible to split the Hasbro Bee chest or are you (understandably) too scared to try? Main reason I bought the Takara version was for the richer yellow paint job (I could be wrong but from pics the Hasbro version looks duller like Classics Sunstreaker is to the Henkei version). How about that lightpiping on Bee though...Glorious, simply glorious!
