Third Party company Newage Toys, via their Facebook account, an extensive gallery of their next special redecos: The Nest (SG Bumblebee), Mirror Zombie (SG Cliffjumper), Candyman (Bugbite) & Bickle (Hubcap).
All of them are redecos/small retools of their Legends scale H25 Herbie (G1 Bumblebee) and H26 Vanishing Point (G1 Cliffjumper) to recreate new characters. Being the same molds, there’s all you like about these impressive Legends scale figures in terms of quality and poseability. These figures will be sold in 2-packs: H25B The Nest & H26B Mirros Zombie, and H25K Candyman & H26T Bickle.

more posts are in the main NA BB/CJ thread, as these are only slight repaint/remolds and generally aren't branched off into their own threads.

Man, this thread only has three pages? Were these guys really not popular?
I recently got the Bugbite and Hubcap set, and they are so amazing I know I am going to have to get all the other versions. But will there no be a Goldbug? Feels like a missed oppertunity to do him, Tap-Out, and Glyph.

Not to be a jerk, I understand you need money but ShowZ has new ones in stock going for $65 shipped.

Anyone have a Hubcap/Bickle they don’t want? I was hoping HZJ on EBay would break up the set but he doesn’t seem to have it.

While I appreciate the funky colors, that mold seems a little clunky and fake parts-y given how excellent the official 'Bee and Cliff molds are now.

Really wish these weren't still 2 packs! They are way overpriced for what you get and I only wanted one. Same reason I skipped the previous pack as I only wanted Cliffjumper

I want bugbite, if anyone wants to split that pack for hubcap, let me know.

Well I\'m sold on the shattered glass set at least. Although I wish they had just taken that extra step and given bumblebee a new head.

Three times over ten years. Though does a 3P really count towards that number?

Welp cliffjumper died again how many times had he died at this point?
Mad Prime
Yes, I am. Hope you didn't hurt yourself when you fell from your chair.
And the only thing I can say is "we will see how far this rabbit hole goes, hope your along for the ride!"

i was trying to find a nice reply and then u said this
.. at which point i fell of my chair, had a few fits and almost suffocated between chuckles.. u are one of those… whats the word.. optimist?
Mad Prime
Just give me Bumper, don't care who you pack him with as long as it's not Goldbug. I want my Goldbug bigger than Bumblebee so NA H01G Gremlin serves me right.
If they decide to do Goldbug just do the whole Throttlebots. I can wait till they have done season 1, season 2, movie and season 3 bots.
Susha
i agree but id really like this argument handled before we get 75 different versions of bee and cliff

i also think including animated in this topic muddies the waters a lot as it is the only media that gave some of the more obscure of the above some representation (while no one else did). A more 'conventional' approach would be according to comic appearance – so tapout, glyph hubcap, goldbug and bugbite. possibly black cliff. im not against it, just that in terms of which of these 3p should make id prefer some logic in priority of choice. I also really struggle to go all inn on these when it could easily have been done on the scale of their previous bee, as it automatically requires a seperate display from other new age minibots – these new ones prolyl best fit legion class scale which hasnt been a thing for a while …
Susha
arr we already have bugbite, how can u haz tapout and not glyph!
as much as i support this idea i really wish they had done this the 1st bee scale, its a lot more in sync with brawn, beachcomber etc.

Until recently i never bought third party, but the stuff i am seeing looks great
Yeezus
Wish they made an Animated Wasp repaint as well

I just find the Shattered Glass thing so fascinating – that we can get such lovely looking repaints out of such bad fiction…
Also, I thought it was the norm that Newage repaints went in the same thread as the ‘base’ release? For example, Black Ironhide didn’t get a separate thread, nor did Stepper, Shackwave, Soundblaster, Action Master Thundercracker and so on. Should this thread be merged with the main Cliff/Bee thread, as these repaints are being heavily discussed there also?
