While the Bumblebee Movie is coming to Japan until March 22nd, 2018, there’s already some campaign items available for fans who buy advance tickets for the premiere.
Japanese fans would be able to buy advance tickets for the Bumblebee movie premier starting this November 23. General ticket price us 1,400 yen ($12.41 approximately). As usual in Japan, you can get some special items with your purchase.
First, we have a“Movi-Tick” card with an adorable Bumblebee Kewpie keychain. What is this? A lovely doll dressed as Bumblebee. You can watch the promotional video here.
If you buy your tickets at 7-Eleven stores, you can receive a exclusive “Movi-Tick” card, and and acrylic key chain with a Studio Series SS-EX 1967 Rusty Bumblebee figure.
You can now click on the bar to see the mirrored video and images of these items attached to this news post.

What's worse is that at least some of these stock photos are actually just the stock photos for Takara's general retail SS-16 Bumblebee with the "rust" added in Photoshop.

It seems exactly the same as the American version. Hardly an "exclusive" at all.
Here are both versions. Apart from the lighting, spot the difference.

Of all the figs that could’ve been done in metal….
Oh well, guess I’ll show up to 7-11 when it warms up and see what all the hubbub is about. We’re overdue for something good. Maybe if I eat enough candy bars I can get lucky in a drawing, otherwise it looked to be 50 bucks.

So is this the Japanese counterpart of Volkswagen Bumblebee from the "Then & Now" 2-pack, then?

Did they just trade some of the silver paint apps for the bad rust? I thought he had silver for the soles of his shoes. [Checks pics of the regular VW Bee] …. Yep. They did.

Masterpiece bumblebee is still the best

I don’t get it. Bumblebee looks awesome in the trailer. Then the toys give us this face?

This is all I can see…

Wow looks terrible. You can see the dot matrix very clearly…

How does that look better and worse at the same time?

It is great news that Takara still does exclusives, and this deco is better than the regular toy, closer to the movie. But stil…
Camaro bee in wave 1, VW bee in wave 3, the 2 SDCC gold repaints, the custom garage version with extra parts and Charlie, the 2 pack with TLK versions and next year the camaro with battle damage…. With this one we have 9 bees, the series this year is about 20 action figures, Bee represents a third of the studio series line….

I can see they are putting on their thinking caps on for this one… I can hear Cullin\'s voice in my head now.. \"Ugh, Primus.. Will SOMEBODY tell Bumblebee he\'s been covered in… Never mind, he\'ll figure it out eventually\" lol.
UltraPrimal
Yeah, not digging the halftone.

They did it on their rusty version of AOE Evasion Optimus Prime. Looks very weird in hand.

I\'d have liked a bit more effort on the deco – I think I could do better myself and i\'m hardly king of the customisers.

I see Takara is bringing their A game with this new rust tempographing. it looks almost on par with a 16 bit game!

Because other countries actually go all in when it comes to promoting new Transformers movies and the U.S kind of does the bare minimum.

Never seen digital rust before.
Takara really needs to work on their tampo technology
