Updating reveals that we first brought to these pages during our coverage of Toy Fair New York 2020, pre-orders are now open for the Good Smile Company’s Bumblebee Movie Nendoroid figures Bumblebee and Optimus Prime.
Read on for more product details, check out the attached photos, then sound off on the 2005 boards!
The young Autobot Bumblebee is now a Nendoroid!
From the latest movie in the live-action Transformers movie series, “Bumblebee”, comes a Nendoroid of Bumblebee! The Nendoroid is fully articulated, allowing you to recreate all kinds of situations, from everyday scenarios to combat scenes. Optional parts include its arm cannon and sword. A Battle Mask part that can be interchanged with its standard face part to recreate its Battle Mode appearance is included as well.
The Autobot commander Optimus Prime is now a Nendoroid!
From the latest movie in the live-action Transformers movie series, “Bumblebee”, comes a Nendoroid of the Autobot leader Optimus Prime! The Nendoroid is fully articulated, allowing you to recreate scenes of him commanding the Autobot army at Cybertron. Optional parts include an Ion Blaster and pointing hand parts, perfect for the leader of the Autobots.

Toyarena has both in stock. Goodsmile's US shop does too but there maybe a 2-3 week delay in getting items out.

Apologies, I kind of stole one of your pictures to make a meme. I will make this a quote to link the original to source your pics:

Thanks! I saw a video review of Bee and he has many more options for swappable parts than prime, who only has 6 hands in total, with 4 being spare – it definitely feels like filler to try and make up for the lack of options, but the articulation, along with small details like leg wheels, definitely helps make it worth the price.

Great pics! Most nendos rely on swappable limbs to do poses and have basic articulation only but some releases get more articulation instead of alternate limbs (of the ones I own, the Monster Hunter female Nargacuga armor has full articulation). Seems like Optimus, and I assume Bee also, got this special treatment.
Admiral Prime
I wasn't sure where to post this "review" of sorts and this seems the only thread about it, which I think it's surprising, because as someone who got OP as their first Nendo ever (after waiting 5 months and 2 delays), they're really good, although I can see why the $/£50 price tag can make some hesitate.
Just from the packaging alone, he looks like he’s already worth the price, not to mention the alternative hands and blaster accessories, as well as the standard nendoroid base/stand, although he can do so on his own. I also thought this background was pretty cool!
For being so tiny, he sure has a lot of articulation.
Feet, knees, hips, abs, shoulders, bicep rotation and hinge and some articulation from the overly large cute head, along with the swappable hands, which give plenty but not a lot for expression.
"Don't talk to me or my son ever again."
Here's some pics comparing it to SS38 – going the the paintjob of the nendo, he would fit more alongside the Takara 2-pack version.
There's a lot more pics which I put on my Instagram: Login • Instagram

Not sure when they started showing up in stock, but the official Japanese Goodsmile site has them in stock now with option for international US shipping. Other places I've checked out, including Goodsmile's US site, still say pre-order. 2000 yen for int'l shipping.

Dude that Bumblebee's Nendoroid as fuck.

I just realized that AF stood for Action Figure.
Another thing about Nendoroids is that there are over 1000 different kinds and their parts are interchangeable, which may result in many more nightmares for Transformers fans.

I\'ve always had a stance of \"if it doesn\'t transform I dont want it\" view of TF merch but… these are very cute.

Terrifyingly cute

Yeah, that faceplate detail wasn't that visible (or deep) in the film but for some reason the figures of this guy like to over pronounce the shit out of it. Plus, for a chibi figure, the less detail the better.

Nendoroids are usually great looking, but definitely way overpriced for what they are. If they were cheaper, I would get these.
Electro Rush
For me its all of the tech detail on Optimus's mouth plate that is throwing me off. If it didnt have all of those lines it would look much better.
Not crazy about the regular Bee head but the alt "Hornet" helmet head looks fantastic.
bearytrek
my first thought was \'I don\'t need to look at this article; I\'m not interested in stuff like this\'
but the pics are really charming and full of nice detailing…
and BB looks like he\'s doing a voodoo move with his hand in pic 8…
The Mad Demobot
I'd buy that Bee in a heartbeat.
Finally Bee is going back to his "smol" roots.
Venixion
Okay, that definitely makes him look like a baby robot. They're cute, but I'll pass. Nendoroids are too pricy for me.
Shmoptimus Prime
Optimus looks odd…maybe it's the bright silver on the face? Bee looks perfect. If it was cheaper I'd get one.

Bumblebee with battle mask is great, even though it reminds me more of a rabbit.
