As promised last week, Jada Toys follows up our earlier reveal of their incoming 4″ G1 Transformers Metalfigs by sharing a full color pre-production sample of Bumblebee and re-confirming the figure’s limited articulation at the neck and shoulders.

Check out the image attached to this post, then sound off on the 2005 boards!

not sure what they were going for with BBs head…looks like a mashup between toy face and cartoon face and doesn't do justice to either
Cyber Silver
That…isn't the topic that they were referring to

Bee looks miserable. I want to put the poor bot out of his misery. Who thought this was chibi?
j.a.f.o.
It's like they don't know what makes chibi look "chibi".

Weird that Prime has rear wheels…that aren't painted, just molded in solid blue. Why even put them in the mold in that case?

I look forward to get these if they make characters like to see combiners, metroplex and others, someone give unicron some love he only gets noticed as transforming toys not enough statues busts, Chibi little figures like these
Well thanks to live action movies yes they have done some good 5ey made transformers popular all over again besides making people who hated transformers turned them into fans begin with but without movies there would not be transformers role play costumes masks weapons, bandaids, jerlwery watches clothing all we be getting are toys nothing more

Isn't the quote they're using what Optimus says at the end of DOTM before going onto forsake his allies and humanity in the next film?
Kind of a weird choice.

Thanks! That IS a really nice little figure. Alas, the reason I wanted the Kid's Logic Magnus is because it's the inner white-Optimus Magnus, not the armored version. I've been trying to complete my Inner Prime collection lately (well, within reason… I'm drawing the line at some of the super-expensive statues and large figures).
Thanks for the heads-up, though!

BBTS still has their City Captain hero hobby one up, and that one actually transformers. Surprising amount of die cast in there too for balance.

I love SD figures, so these will go nicely next to my Veritechs and SD Gundams~

If these are more affordable than the Kids Logic figures, I'm in. I passed on them because their prices were ridiculous for what you got. I did eventually get Megatron when he got marked down and I could use an Optimus to go with him.

Not sure if these will do well, what happened to the Kids Logic stuff, then HeroCross had a few Optimus figures, both those lines are gone now. Kids Logic stuff was pretty cool, but kinda overpriced. Perhaps, these guys will have better prices. Not sure what more u can do with this kind of figure that Kid Logic hasn't done yet. Their stuff had lights and decent articulation. Bait even copied the Kids Logic designs. We will see I guess. I liked the Kids Logic stuff. We needs lots of pointless stuff, look at all the Marvel,Star Wars, DC stuff. If this fails, they will move onto something else and it might be a hit with customers
