Transformers Studio Series Wave 1 Deluxe Bumblebee Revealed

Feet have the yellow on them (i painted my TLK figure to have those, I also filled in the hollow inside bits with apoxie and painted over) and the wheels look painted in the pics on the back of the box though can't see on the toy itself from that angle.

The pics on the back are CG, I guess, like on all packagings nowadays.

Yes but they show the feet to have the yellow on which the figure can be seen to have (which TLK figure did not) so it's not impossible that the wheels have the painted look the packaging shows.

now that's a bee i'll pick up ! on another note, who is that red character at the bottom left on the back of the box? the red muscle car from the bee movie perhaps?

NO!
I’m colorblind so I can’t answer your question.

YES!!!! That looks amazing, the paint apps look improved and they got the plasma cannon arm right!

EDIT: We can also see on the back of the box that deluxe Ratchet will come with his buzzsaw!

Yeesh, I don't need any more brazza-frakkin Bayverse Bumblebee figures.....

I have to admit when i am wrong and dangit i was. I was expecting these to be slight retools or repaints and nothing good, but this is a new figure and it looks AWESOME!

Judging from leaks, this is one of the strykers, and on the back of the box the red guy is stinger. So this will be wave 1 with bee, stinger, crowbar, and ratchet.

It's Stinger from AOE

Now this will be a figure I'll be picking up. Habe the original from the first movie (albeit in poor condition) and have always liked that look the best out of all his modes.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have the 2007 toyline's classic Bee but the automorph gimmick meant it never stayed tabbed

That Bee look SOLID!

Oh, I really, really want this.

and here i was looking for TLK Bee to replace my broken one

...I may have to do with prosthetic bee until this comes out because this one looks AWESOME!

william-james88 wrote:Fellow Seibertronian Bacem has found the best images yet of a figure from the upcoming Studio Series line. These images are from 變形金剛玩具吧 and were shared on the TFCN Facebook page, and show a finished Studio Series Wave 1 Deluxe Bumblebee in his package. He sports the 70s’ Camaro alt mode and appears based off the recent Transformers: The Last Knight Deluxe Bumblebee figure we got (also shown below for comparison). With his Crowbar wave mate also reusing a mold from Transformers: The Last Knight (Berserker in the latter's case) this lets us know that we should be expecting a similar level of complexity and quality to the Transformers: The Last Knight toys in the Studio Series line.

In the back of the box we see the afore mentioned Crowbar along with Ratchet and Stinger. We also see how Bumblebee will look like posed in front of his included backdrop, which seems to feature a police chase. Hopefully, all these toys mentioned will be shown at the upcoming 2018 Toyfair.

Check the images below and let us know if you will be picking it up!





TLK Bumblebee

That looks nice, I passed on the original '76 Camaro Bumblebee from 2007, so I might get this new one. I haven't touched the Last Knight toyline at all, but the Studio Series line has got me interested in Movie toys again, so I think I'll try to catch up on TLK. My local branch of The Entertainer has the wave 2 Voyagers (or at least, they did have them when I was last there a week ago, I don't know if they'll still be there now).

bacem wrote: And 22 steps is a good sign that these will be more complex than TLK.

This toy is just a reshell of the TLK bee, so this instead confirms that these toys will be as complex. We now have 2 deluxe toys in this line which share a mold with TLK toys and in both cases its a bad sign towards quality, since that TLK bee and Berserker were far from stellar toys.

Anyone expecting more than TLK will be very dissapointed.

I'm just curious about the price point now

Lunatic Prime wrote:I'm just curious about the price point now

Probably the same thing as the TLK toys.

I just hope that the ankle issues will be fixed with this reshell. I skipped the new TLK Bee because I found his paint too drab and the overall shape too similar to the other Bees. But gimme a '70 Camaro with the TLK engeneering with fixed issues any days. Also, looking at the picture above, that Bee look more painted than the TLK one.

We are getting a new starscream, jazz, stinger, leader blackout, leader grimlock, ironhide, Rotf megatron, and brawl. I’d say there is nothing disappointing about that.

This line just keeps getting better and better!

The only thing that would disappoint me is if they don't show or at least confirm Lockdown in this line at New York toy fair so I can cancel my preorder on 's Movie the Best Lockdown.

Nice looking figure need see video review of this series

I think your image is broken

Whats with the gigantic box is this their new ploy to try and trick you into thinking its worth the over priced amount they're going to charge? I have a feeling im not going to be buying a single one of these until they go on clearance, hasbro has officially priced me out of deluxes.

To be fair, if the figures have ROTF level of details, engeneering, and paint, it's now worth that price. The Generations ones remaining at the "normal" price because they are much simpler.

I wasnt talking about the content. I was simply answering someone who beleived that these toys would be better than the TLK ones. And I see this notion floating around elsewhere as well, people hoping that the Studio Series will be like mini MPs.

If people are hoping for high quality figures that are more complex than what we have seen lately, then yes I believe people are setting themselves up of disappointment.

Think of it this way, everyone was excited for a Titan Class Fort Max. There couldnt possibly be anything disappointing about that right? Turns out there could be.

Great example of what I am talking about. We know based on the mold we already have that this particular Bumblebee will only be so so.

If all we are expecting is new toys of these character we like, devoid of specific quality requirements, then there wont be any dissapointment.

The box is due to them coming with a display backdrop and stand, you can see it about half way down the back of the box on the right.

That new Bee is awesome! This convinces me to pick him up! My War Hammer Bee should be coming soon considering I never saw or found the wave 3 one at a price under $32, which is about the same price I'm paying for him to come with a hammer. And he will look good.

Funny thing that the first ever body and the most recent body Bee appears in are using the same mold, kinda neat.

Still gotta see Stinger and Ratchet better to decide if I want them, but I like the Buzzsaw on Ratchet. My only Ratchet is the RotF desert tracker one. And I want Stinger but still need to see him better to see if I will go for him.

Crowbar is a must. Now I just gotta wait out a deluxe Hatchet and Leadfoot to complete Wreckers and Dreads.

Damn, I'm finding myself excited for the studio series because of nostalgia. Has it been that long already?

Well shoot, good thing I saved the box for my 2007 target bumblebee 2 pack I just got. Back onto eBay they go!

Fellow news staff member D-Max has sent us word of a fellow fan finding some new price tags at their local Meijer's. @damnyouwillis on Twitter posted three images showing the prices for Deluxes, Voyagers and Leaders from the Studio Series line. This is the Transformers toyline which will bring new toys for Live Action movie characters from across the previous films. We have already seen a few of these, like this deluxe Bumblebee, and they appear to be a mix of brand new molds and retools of previously released toys.

Meijer's is a retail chain that orders directly from Hasbro and has standard retail prices for figures so the prices found give a good indication at the MSRPs in this line. It is the same standard MSRP we have seen so far from Hasbro for the Transformers: The Last Knight toyline and even the recent Generations toyline. The prices are as follows:

Deluxe: 19.99
Voyager: 29.99
Leader: 49.99

Up until now we had absolutely no clue as to when these would be released but the price tags being out now is a good sign that it can't be too far away. The figures making up this line will hopefully be revealed at the upcoming Toy Fair, though we have no confirmation of that.

Here is a list of the figures said to be part of the line:

Using that and all the info we previously saw, we end up with this as the contents of the 2018 Movie Toyline (known so far):

Deluxe

Bumblebee
Decepticon Stinger
Decepticon Crowbar
Ratchet
Jazz
Lockdown


Voyager

Starscream
Optimus
Megatron
Brawl
Ironhide
Starscream (different deco)


Leader

Blackout
Grimlock

Here's a question: how many toys will be licensed? Bumblebee and Crowbar are by pedigree, but the rest? I'm especially curious about Stinger as his Deluxe toy was a quickie redeco of Bumblebee, but his One-Step was a licensed Pagani Huayra.

The target closest to my house just downgraded to two columns of Transformers pegs. This. Is. Going. To. Drown. Out. PotP. I just know it.

we actually did know when these were coming, as the first leaks showed an April release on them, so....

It's on the slide with the voyagers

Will this toyline transition into the toyline for the bumblebee movie then or are we going to have another line for that?

ZeroWolf wrote:Will this toyline transition into the toyline for the bumblebee movie then or are we going to have another line for that?

There are 2 distinct toylines confirmed. Though it is unsure if the BB movie line will have toys oriented for older fans as well.

All of the dates were 2017, from April to November, so I still insist it was a really dumb typo on the part of whoever made the slides. Considering the state of the leaked products we've seen I think the April arrival will hold (but not specifically on 4/20, I think that was a bad joke on the part of the slide maker, the rest of the dates are on the first).

Emerje

I remember when rotf and dotm figures came out, deluxes, voyagers and leaders were $11.99, $21.99 and $42.99 respectively... and the toys were also larger by comparison. I have a feeling leader blackout will be a tad shorter than rotf leader prime.

when are the release dates for these in the states? especially since I live in California its gonna be a while for me

fruityrobo wrote:when are the release dates for these in the states? especially since I live in California its gonna be a while for me

There is nothing definitive, but best guess is around April. Also California has been the place for a few of the first sightings of TFs these past few years.

Fellow Seibertronian Hellscream9999 e-mailed us some exciting insider information that will help you find the highly anticipated Studio Series figures, when the time comes. This is the Transformers toyline which will bring new toys for Live Action movie characters from across the previous films. We have already seen a few of these, like this deluxe Bumblebee, and they appear to be a mix of brand new molds and retools of previously released toys.

Hellscream9999 was able to confirm the Target DPCI numbers for each class size. Here's the information that he shared with us.

You can use a website resource such as Brickseek to see if your local Target store(s) has these products in back. When the time comes (that being April), if you can't find them in the toy section, just ask a friendly Target employee to help you out.

If you find them in stock somewhere, please make sure to let other Transformers fans know by sharing your sightings in our Sightings Section and our Sightings forum.

I don't care if he is a retool, all I know is I ABSOLUTELY love that Bumblebee .
That version, the first movie version of the 1976 Chevrolet Camaro Bumblebee has always been my favorite version of movie Bumblebee .
I have the 2007 figure of this version of Bumblebee and yes even when I get the Studio Series figure I still plan on keeping it, just because that is whats I do.
And on another note, I hate that it is always "presumed" that "movie fans" are younger and newer to the brand, I have been collecting Transformers since 1985, and I love the movies as much as I love G1......yeah I said it.
