And to think, he's identical in ever way to the OSKO, who'd have thought?

Similar in some ways to the Studio figure but obviously with some nice improvements given the size and complexity of a MPM figure. And I love that shading on the vehicle mode of the reddish-orange to the yellow. I may try replicate that on my Studio figure if it even frickin' turns up. If my health crud allowed me to have a proper job and income I'd probably start buying MPMs and would certainly get this but for now the Studio Series figures suit me just fine.
I agree, the wings on him. Either way he looks awesome. Note to self: add to cart.

And yeah given that even the huge models of Bee at events and stuff have the wings, the removal of them was likely a late change by the movie makers and didn't really think about where those parts could feasibly hide away but as I said I do far prefer them on him (despite my usual dislike of kibble).

I like the wings and it gives Hasbro the option of doing a tampax licensed figure

In either case, you can check it out below, and let us know what you think!
Coming soon in October - Movie Masterpiece Bumblebee - VW Version (MPM-7)!
Vehicle mode features Bumblebee’s accurate, officially licensed vehicle from the new TRANSFORMERS: BUMBLEBEE™ film: 1967 Volkswagen Beetle (with exclusive, weathered deco).

That's the "new" Beetle they introduced in '98. Pretty much a Beetle in name only. The classic Bumblebee Beetle ended production in 1979.

The little video of Hasbro showcasing it was very fun!It may be the first a Transformer ever made Michael Jackson's dance movies in offical media!

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about, I thought they stopped making those years ago. I hadn't noticed any new ones on the road in a while, though I did just happen to see an orange and black one today so I guess they're out there.

Sailstorm was referring to the alt mode Bee has at the begining of the AOE film.

Check out below as Notrab and Hasbro photography show off this die-cast, highly articulated, super spotlight hogging nee Bee in both his robot and vehicle mode - including his Goku cosplay! Hasbro's announcement on Facebook also indicates that this item will be available on Amazon.

I actually hate die-cast. And rubber tyres. I don't feel like it adds to the value of the toy at all and I say this as a life-long G1 Vintage collector.
Toy gets an A+ from me. Looks solid, but its got basically nowhere to go in my collection. Shame

I'm more of a die-cast if its needed kind of guy and rubber tires are indeed a pain for us G1 vintage collectors (rubber rot )
I'm just surprised Hb/Takara is applying die-cast. As far as I know, aside from Megs, Op,SS, UM,SW, the rest of the cars don't seem to have die-cast. Even G1 B has no die-cast. That's why I'm surprised.

But, I wish they had waited a year or 2 for this. I feel like seeing the final movie design would have benefited this figure a lot. But it looks cool as is, but not spot on screen accuracy.
Also, MPM Shatter and Dropkick when?

Listen, your money is your money, but please, don't spend double the price on this guy. Just go to one of the retailers on the side of this page.

I'm guessing he's setting up a Camel alert

Check out the embedded clip below, courtesy of regular YouTube reviewer Chefatron, showing off the die cast parts, the accessories, and size comparisons with other Masterpiece editions of Bumblebee (movie and classic look), with some particular emphasis on the transformation, apparently. Let us know what you think in the Energon Pub!

I hear ya D-Max. It's almost $90 for me after tax. But I don't have enough stuff to order to get free shipping at the other sites. Plus I don't even know if I really want it, so I figured I'll just keep my PO with Amazon and give myself some time to decide. Basically doing the same thing with Throne of the Primes at Amazon JP.
