Takara Tomy Website have just updated their Masterpiece section with the respective new Masterpiece MP-45 Bumblebee Ver 2.0.
We can find great 360 views of the new cartoon-accurate mold of the little yellow Autobot scout, revealing all details from every angle in both modes.
Additionally, the promotional video shown at Wonderfest has been uploaded too. While the video is region locked, it has been mirrored thanks to Planet Iacon Facebook Group. We can see how the mold has really captured the spirit of the G1 cartoon design, but some compromises had to be made in order to achieve it. More noticeable, the amount of kibble and panels that can be seen from the back and feet.
You can check out the video below, and all the mirrored images after the jump. Let us know your impressions on this new Masterpiece mold on the 2005 Boards!

Yeah I try let that go. It can be hard to find the joy sometimes when there's a lot of people saying the opposite, suppose it's about collecting for yourself. Also yes he can be quite funny lol

Dont let some Yter dictate on your choices. He is wacked funny at times though.

Yeah man so true.
I still wait for more redecos of this mold, maybe a cheeky reissue.

Entering the hobby as an adult had me very confused on this detail! My childhood bee was a gold Bug, not Goldbug, hence my suggestion:

I’d rather have Goldbug as a completely new figure.

A red one maybe? None of the MP21 repaints sold that well, maybe that's why they went straight to a CJ remold and not squeeze out a repaint.

(I think the MP-21 redecos still work best for toy-based redecos of Bumblebee because of their shape, but if we get a new G2 or a Microchange blue beetle, I'd happily take it.)

My apologies if it's been mentioned before, but is anyone else hoping a G2 Ver. pops up at some point? I'd be on board!

Takara is really slacking bringing this old thread back to life.

It’s a job you turn into a hobby, but never the other way round. That’s just called a hob.

Toyhax FTW! I'm a purist, but in this case I had to and it looks remarkable.

Still can't understand why they didn't make his windows blue! ALL S1 bots NEED blue windows! Plus it would hide…. that!
