Thanks to 2005 Board member Taranza we can report our first US sighting of the new Buzzworthy Bumblebee Origin Bumblebee.
This is a completely new mold inspired by the Cybertronian G1 Bumblebee seen in the very first episode if the G1 cartoon. It was spotted at Target in Dallas, Texas.
Update: Taranza has just shared in our boards our first in-hand images of this figure showing off robot and alt mode and comparison shots next to War For Cybertron Netflix Bumblebee, See all the images after the break.
Happy hunting!

really love this guy. it makes me really really wish they would do a Jazz and Wheeljack now too. VERY IMPRESSED WITH THIS GUY. Its something I had always wanted. its too late for me but I loved giving this guy to my kids ( plus I get to sneak into his room when he is not there and fiddle with it )

This is what happens when you go on vacation, all the Origins Bees get snatched up. Not one in any store in my town. But, then again, I live in a scalper town. I hope there is a restock.

My only wish, to improve the aesthetics, would have been to somehow move the leg kibble to the feet. The backpack is acceptable.
I honestly adore this figure.

Or on the Target app yet. I have a nice little picture of it in my purchase history, but when I click on it, I get the “Oops! Something went wrong” message.

Just picked this guy up! Other than the alt-mode and the lack of wrist rotations, this guy is a serious contender for the top generations bee in my book. I owe it all to his generally great articulation and to the face-sculpt that actually brings the warm, kid-friendly bumblebee to life, as opposed to the rather stoic mug on the netflix and worlds collide versions

Orgins bummblebee jetpack fits on the earthrise cliff moldmates.https://twitter.com/MilesArzaluz13/status/1420590721568952322

Actually, it looks like this jetpack will work with ALL versions of the Earthrise CJ/ BB mold, since all share the same molded body. Netflix BB has a remolded car form, but no changes to the base transformation or the arrangement of back kibble. So feel free to give a rocket pack to SG Goldbug, Bugbite, or CJ!

Anyone have the TCIN number for this? This seems to work best for popfindr

So it is, jet packs all look the same to me apparently lol

That's for Sideswipe and Prime, not Bumblebee. Different design and it matches the shape of Sideswipe's back, not Bee's.

Gray one came with centurion
Hopefully they release it in gray again if they decide to do CJ

Maybe with luck the gray one comes with Cliffjumper

Just got mine from the local Target, I love how the jetpack is designed for Netflix Bumblebee!

It's sculpted to fit the wheels on his back and has two slots for the tabs on his back to line up with.

Not sure why it wasn't painted painted grey, but I'll still gladly take it.
I marked the tab and slot with red ink in the pictures below in case it wasn't clear in the originals.

Still a deluxe

It's also going to be in a case of 8 so it should be plentiful on Target shelves!

Which is still a Deluxe. Parts count, paint apps, and all that.
