It does hold the gun straight; the tab is created when the fist closes so you have to angle the gun a bit as you do so. It's not as intuitive as the earlier design or that used by most 3P ones though. As for the design and QC issues, I mentioned most of the same points in my review. I agree that the feet and backpack are unsightly (more because of the gaps than the size though), and the QC is definitely an issue. The paint isn't as bad on mine, but the faction symbols are a little crooked (I know the one on his chest is low down on purpose) and the mouths are more of a spotty grey than solid black. The hips and elbows are also loose on mine, but the shoulders are scarily tight. The main issue with mine is that a piece of the right headlight is gouged out. You can't really see it from a distance, but knowing it's there is bad enough when you consider what this thing cost. It's also too tall for Takara's own established scale... It's a real shame, because as with MP-44 it looks amazing from the front, but is marred by off-axis views and poor QC. At least the knee joints aren't broken out of the box like they were on mu MP-44. I really hope they retool this into a decent Cliffjumper, but Takara seems to have little interest in finishing the season one cast, let alone season two and three...
JobbyTheHong's opinion of the figure is that he despised the figure. Though it's fantastic on just the front, but hated every angle of the engineering and the back pack. Doesn't help that Bee's altmode is a upscaled version of a Penny Racer Volkswagen Beetle, which the G1 is a re-release of the Micro Change figures.
Great review as expected. Keep it up, you're doing a great job. I'm looking forward to a Fans Toys version of animation accurate Bumblebee. Edit: The backpack and the feet ruins it for me, so it is a skip for me; I'll wait for a third party version.
For the hands holding the gun, the groove in the palm is misleading, instead u need to place the gun on the fingers first, then curl the fingers as u push the tab inwards into the palm and it can hold the gun straight. 100% agree with the loose joints and paint issues, esp when we r paying at this price range.
Cardboard engineering. Seriously he is my favorite reviewer so far along with PrimeVSPrime, the rest they don't even bother to review figures but rather praise them even if it's justified or not while ignoring QC issues and bad engineering and MP-45 is the last drop of water for me.
Front of the car mode = spot-on accurate. Back of the car mode = not so much. Front of the robot mode = spot-on accurate. And the back of the robot mode = not so much. The figure needs a remold.
Honestly, that backpack isn’t bad at all, I think for what they tried to achieve they did a good job and imo is much better than MP-21, but I can’t stand behind the fact that Takara really need to get their shit together in terms of QC issues cause damn this guy has a lot
Gonna need the REAL KO peeps to take a stab at this. (For instance, BensKOllectibles reviewed what was supposed to be a KO of MP45, but it was probably a factory leak or reject instead. And the QC on his was even worse - he actually broke the foot.) Then again, factory rejects seem to be more and more of a thing...I got what's supposed to be a KO of MP40 Targetmaster Hot Rod, only to learn that it's either a factory reject or a legit Hasbro Asia release.
Lol, it simply has a big turtle shell for a back! Not forgetting it's also far too barrel chested, chicken legged, and clown footed! The feet are almost the same size as MP-45, just all pushed to the front instead of more to the rear like MP-45. I think MP-21 was fantastic for its time, and love the realistic VW car mode with the other originals. But it looks very dated now next to MP-45.
Why is he so way over price to be so small ? The windows Should be so tint they should hide the inside to cover up the Joints in them he looks great but is greatly over priced.
I really think Takara tries too hard to make these new figures, relax and make a good figures, simpler transformation that pull off the look with as little paint apps.

10 seconds of "please don't demonetize me youtube" strikes me as both desperate and sad. You're reviewing a toy, not a sex toy, so your video is suitable for kids. If you have a problem with RUclips's paying more for targeted ads, take it up with youtube.
The Homer Simpson "skinny-from-the-front-ugly-in-the-back" meme fits this PERFECTLY
YUP
Honestly, I think it doesn't look THAT bad, but I think the QC issues are the biggest problems with this.
I rather pay 35$ instead of 120$

i realized that discaimer in the beggining is there because of coppa
Chemica7vortex, me too
More because of RUclips's ham-handed approach to coppa :/

What if a Knock-off improves on this design

insane how the original MP01 prime which is bigger than MP44 was around $100 and this BB costs more than that.
Even the mp 10 was less than bumblebee.
@@Therealcriticalideology omg no way I forgot that!!! What a joke. I got mine at ToysRus for maybe$120?
@@andreyofdoom What a shame. Bumblebee to me, should've costed $50 max.
Thanks PrimeVsPrime for the good review. Good job!
Thanks! :)
Who else liked the short silence after he spun his waist in transformation when he showed us the face
At 9:19
The QC issues already turn me away from this figure. I know the original MP isn't screen accurate, but i think i'll take that one over this one
Great Figure! but a lot of kibble in the robot mode
Nice video bro. Also do you have a ROTF ratchet?
Jobby cares a lot about the back kibble
Back lives matter
Cardboard engineering.
Seriously he is my favorite reviewer so far along with PrimeVSPrime, the rest they don't even bother to review figures but rather praise them even if it's justified or not while ignoring QC issues and bad engineering and MP-45 is the last drop of water for me.
I think this a beautiful figure
Front of the car mode = spot-on accurate.
Back of the car mode = not so much.
Front of the robot mode = spot-on accurate.
And the back of the robot mode = not so much.
The figure needs a remold.
Maybe a KO will fix the issues
It can't be perfect.
@@cowboybarbaryn1302 But at least good, this figure is just bad.
Still, I think is the best version I've seen so far.
Crossing my fingers and hoping Fanstoys will tackle this on
I really don't give a crap about this figure's back kibble.😄😅
You published your video on my birthday
This is the day I feared
So far, is there any problem like varied colours or lose some joints
JobbytheHong
Bumblebee’s MASSIVE chin tho! Lol
In your last bumblebee review it was a studio series bumblebee and I wonder where you got that one.
Honestly, that backpack isn’t bad at all, I think for what they tried to achieve they did a good job and imo is much better than MP-21, but I can’t stand behind the fact that Takara really need to get their shit together in terms of QC issues cause damn this guy has a lot
I preffer the old MP, cartoon accurate figs doesnt look as cool as the older MP
Is an ss figure review next?
Tomorrow
PrimeVsPrime 👀
Ok im guessing its bumblebee
An actual manipulatible bumblebee this thing actually moves and everything else something the original did not to

They are making studio series galvatron and bumblebee movie studio series acidstorm and blitzwing and starsceam
9:18 the audio stopped working
The original MP Bumblebee didn’t have back kibble
@@pandacyy2276 And it didn't look super ugly.

Not gonna lie in my opinion MP 21 is better
It looks great from the front, but at any other angle it looks like trash. Not for $120.
Why is he so way over price
to be so small ? The windows
Should be so tint they should
hide the inside to cover up the
Joints in them he looks great
but is greatly over priced.

That's pretty much impossible if they want the figure to look screen accurate

my favourite bumblebee is alternity bumblebee
dont worry. 3rd party product will have any of your complain fixed. i was a takara fanboy before knowing there are 3rd party product.
But They are fakes.

Quality Control

Feet was the worst part , was getting really frustrated
The figure was made by a hasbro employee who dose not care

@Iwill Microwavesonic I bet
Why 13+?
Great video tho

I prefer the original
Almost seems like you got a KO. My KO is better than your legit one. 🤔 Hmmm
i think you got yourself a KO version
Worth is 50 not 120
120 dollars 120!?
You off jointed his arm...toy abuse 🙃
Bumbleb***h
Takara really is going the wrong way with the mp line
Are you British? I am!
Yeah the old one looks better
my goodness, that backpack is just ugly. at least the front silhouette looks good.
The robot mode is TRASH
The worst masterpiece figure in existence?
200Aud bux for this crap I will pass
this figure disgusts me
Very bad figure. V1.0 better
