When I get mine, I am only displaying him with the alternate face because it looks SO much like the G1 toy Bee, it's ridiculous. Plus the "regular" face looks kinda derpy.

The "Battle mask" does look a lot better, I honestly think tha tthe Toon face would look tonnes better had they painted it silver rathet than white, the white just washes out all of the detailing.

repainting a BB into goldbug is fine for generations, but not MP. theyre not similar enough.
although, G2 BB could happen. gold repaint and slap his faceplate on. voila!

I paid for mine last night, wish I had known about their Black Friday sale.
Anyway, glad he's almost here! With all those dozens of pre-release unites circulating around, I was beginning to feel like I was the only one without the figure.
@Vaal: that's Spike in the exosuit. But yeah, it could be used as Daniel too. Might also look nice next to LG10 Arcee.

It looks more like Davey from Davey & Goliath.
Besides, why would they pair Bumblebee with Daniel when the two were almost never in the same room as each other in all the movie or the cartoon, while Spike spent the entire movie with Bumblebee?

I'm guessing people are mixing it up as Daniel since he was the more active (and more memorable) one in the exo suit. It's never focused on that Spike is wearing or using one. Even though he is, AND is the first to be seen in it. I guess the exo suit is just more synonymous with Daniel, given how the movie proceeds.

I have more issue with the way the exosuit looks than anything else. Its really blocky, malformed and has many hollow bits.

With all the effort that goes into this line, it's kind of a slap in the face how little Takara actually cares about making the humans look like actual human beings.

On the other hand, Takara caring so little about the MP humans also kinda seems like a reflection of the fandom, in how a large chunk of it cares so little about human characters in general, especially in the movies.megatronus wrote:With all the effort that goes into this line, it's kind of a slap in the face how little Takara actually cares about making the humans look like actual human beings.

I changed all my orders from Private Warehouse to Ship When Available, seeing as I never use the Warehouse anyway.

That's a pretty lame excuse for poor workmanship... (especially since these are G1, not movie, designs...)
When Takara puts so much effort into making the exo-suit itself look sharp and accurate, you can't tell me it's okay for the human head to look like a melted crayon because the fans don't care about human characters.

I think the Masterpiece humans look that way because they are so small. And in my opinion it's preferable, because tiny human figures with painted faces (like Heroclix) tend to look weird.

Daniel or Spike? Doesn't matter, as both Father and Son wore an Exo-Suit.
But it was Daniel that transformed in the movie. Either way, it's up to the collector to decide who is in the suit.

I actually think the figure is ok, and I like both modes. The scale of the alt mode does not put me off. I just can't get past the cost of the figure. I understand the price point is what it is due to engineering and design costs, but I just can't spend that kind of money on this itsy bitsy bastard.

Strangely, that one simple change made a ton of difference for me. My opinion of the figure is immensely more positive. Doubt that I will be a buyer, but he actually looks pretty amazing with the silver face.

My MP-21 shipped earlier today, it will take some time.

Mine arrived today and I absolutely love the little bugger.
Spike is so so.
If his face was painted I'd like him more though.

Got mine today! The transformation is simple, but genius! 
like people are saying, Spike does need customizing in the face though. I think I'll add a 5 o'clock shadow to differentiate him from Daniel. 
I'll be doing a review on him tonight. Stay tuned...

Bee's here! (That was fairly quick, ten days via SAL.) He's absolutely perfect!
Can't stop looking at this figure. Probably the MP I was excited for the most, after Optimus Prime. This is so well done, Hasui is an artist. I'm glad that his last figure was this iconic character, finally! (And who knows, maybe they'll lure him back to do a new Megatron.)
I wanted this for a long time. And the toy is even better than I had expected, I think some pix didn't do it justice. In fact, he's so awesome that by the time I transformed him I had almost forgotten about Spike in the box. (But I like Spike, the exosuit is pretty clever, actually!)
Now bring on Ironhide.

They've done a very nice job with Bumblebee. I noticed that BB has a symbol on his hands. Not sure what it is. Thought at first it was a Cybertronian jet, then his Cybertronian mode but now I'm gonna have to look at him again to figure it out.
Anyone else notice the figure?
