Attention Masterpiece collectors! Takara Tomy and Takara Tomy Mall websites have updated the release date information of Masterpiece MP-45 G1 Bumblebee Ver. 2.0. This new Masterpiece figure has been delayed to November 2019.
This figure was originally scheduled for September 2019, so you will have to be patient for 2 extra months for Bumblebee to be released. We have no concrete information about this change, but it could be a good chance for fans who haven’t decided to grab this new cartoon-accurate Bumblebee mold into their collections.
You can still find pre-orders for this item in our sponsors links below. It’s good to notice that now Bumblebee will be released on the same month that Masterpiece Blackarachnia. Let us know your impressions about the new release date on the 2005 Boards!

There does not appear to be any differences (other than the price). I have both an original and a ko and from the box to the figure to the accessories, they're nigh-on identical. The one I have even has the Autobot symbols on his chest and hood.
Here's one at TF Safari but if you search on ebay, you'll find him there as well, I'm sure.

Can you share a link?

I appreciate it, thank you!
Do you know the differences with the KO and the official are?
Sy-Rein
Best of luck to you. He's become quite pricey, at least when I was looking last.
If you're interested though, there is a KO now available. Seen it on ebay and some Chinese e-tailers.

Don’t forget the ice-cream!

Hearts for the license plate, cosmic rust, and metal eating space plant spores respectively.

The hearts are to cover up the Autobot symbol(s) on the license plate(s). Not sure about the rest.

Slow day indeed! Last time I mentioned measurements, I attracted a mob of raging They might be asleep in daylight though (wait for it…………better arm myself with Ag and garlic )

I'm really not sure how many ways I can say that the size of the gap isn't what I've been talking about. Ho hum.
Throway
That gap has to be like 1 atom wide
mrspingly
Oh, there are certainly far worse gaps! The rear lights in alt mode, the backpack in bot mode. They're much more ugly, but they're result of deeper or more complicated design issues.
The gap I mentioned annoys me more because it's completely avoidable. If the panel were curved then it would look fine whether held snugly against the wheel arch or at a distance, as the gap would be a matching curve that would look okay.
It's the unnecessariness of the little gap that's the problem!

I keep kicking myself that I passed on the official and KO. I even balked at the KO being 60 something bucks and here we are….
Liampope
Well if that tiny gap that you literally have to search for or be aware of in advance to even notice bugs you more than some of the other uncloseable gaps around the alt mode <cough…rear lights…cough> I just dont know! Fully agree with you though – why is that panel even shaped like that in the first place?

Everytime this thread gets bumped, I keep hoping its because someone has gotten a link for a PO

That picture shows the same angle and gap that annoys me on mine. Whether it's almost impertceptible isn't my point.
My grumble was that the front edge could surely have been curved like the back edge to make it not be there at all.
