Thanks to Netherlands based toy retailer Otton Simon, we have with us the stock images of Transformers: Bumblebee movie Role Play Masks.
Very much like the Voice Changer Masks of the same line, these non-electronic masks are also repacks from the TLK toyline. Specifically, they are repaints of Role Play masks from the recently concluded Transformers: Robots In Disguise animated series. This however is not the first time; Transformers: The Last Knight Role Play Masks also benefited from the same repainting.
Transformers: Bumblebee movie Role Play Masks were first spotted during San Diego Comic Con 2018.
You can check out the images, after the jump.

At this point, they might as well call them the "We have money to make new masks, but it would take alot of effort and time to make new ones so enjoy!".
Digger
Maybe. That would make an interesting experiment.

Do Hasbro think that children are that stupid that they can't tell the difference in face designs?
Angry Camaro
God dammit. How many of these are in a warehouse in china and hasbro can\'t get rid of them??
TCJJ
The thing that continues to baffle me about these lazy repaints is that they already have movie masks, so why not use those moulds instead…?
Digger
Oh I know about universe mate.

You guys are gonna have heart attacks when you hear about Universe 03…

Optimus at least works since his face looks about the same no matter what the continuity is. Bumblebee however has had lots of different face designs so the laziness is pretty blatant with him. :/
MrSoundmeister
And they're not even the good, better articulated molds.
I like said previously, there's some old, but still better molds then these masks… I know they are cheap to make, but geez.

Wow, it's always great to see them reuse toys from other continuities.
In all seriousness though, WTF? Even the Cyberverse toyline is reusing a few toys from RID 2015. SMH.
MrSoundmeister
Well, here's hoping we get more Bumblebee Exclusive Repaints that Feature Bumblebee and Friends then!
(To be honest, i would love to see the G2 Lazer Rods, Prime Cliffjumper & Cybertron Downshift get some actual redeco use in this movie line.)

I mean, even for the movie that’s supposed to redeem Transformers and have people finally see the franchise in a better light, they can’t even make a new f***ing mask for Bumblebee or Optimus? Honestly they’re already showing the laziness they should be hiding.
Fallout
these are great for orgies.
Purple Heart
Thats like… a bunch of repaints.
Hadlen_Weltall
……One for every repaint of a repaint of every repaint of Bumblebee they've ever made!
Scypris
Selling the same thing six times and trying to pass it off as six different masks? Shit like this should be illegal. Im over exaggerating obviously, but damn, this is just…bad. Really bad.
LegoLover58
How many times are they gonna repaint that freaking RiD mask???
Runamuck86
If you squint hard enough the picture on the packaging and the mask look identicle >
Canbot
Not that this stuff is my bag, baby, but why do they choose to call these 'role play' masks?…kinda dated term, considering how full blown mainstream 'cosplay' has become, and I'm sure will continue to be.
'Cosplay Mask'…I'm sure that'll bring in more business. Just wait though while I roll for initiative.
