Thanks to omegafix of the 2005 Boards for giving us the heads up of a new Hallmark Bumblebee Christmas Ornament.
This nice ornament was spotted at a Target store in Piscataway, New Jersey for $9.00. It’s Evergreen Bumblebee design sculpted in a dynamic flying kick pose.
You can check out the images after the jump, and then share your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Something is not right. Maybe its that face, if you really look at it. from afar before you enlarge the image the shoulder pads almost merge into the belly, simulating that bumblebee is fat. I don't think that a kid appeal character should be encouraging child obesity!

I wish they'd go back to doing the G1-toy ornaments, even if I think this one looks kinda neat.

It's a hit and miss thing if it's a miscellaneous Transformers item at the local Targets. I never did find that Optimus Prime dog toy.

I know the paintjob is rough and people ain't fan of the Evergreen design being used so much but I kind of dig it. I'd go ballistic if I found this as a kid and I don't even like Bee THAT much

I like this better than this year\'s OP Hallmark Keepsake ornament, honestly. Kinda upset that Hallmark abandoned the vintage toy-inspired line.

Also available on Walmart.com as a 2-pack with Optimus Prime (the same one they've been cranking out for years in different packaging):
Hallmark Ornaments (Hasbro Transformers Optimus Prime and Bumblebee), Set of 2 – Walmart.com
I ordered this back in September when it first went up – you get a cardboard box that contains both ornaments.
I didn't open it yet to see if they're individually boxed inside or if they're tagged, like the one found at Target. I'm leaning towards it being the boxed version due to the size of the outer cardboard box.

Oh yeah. I've held onto this for quite a while now because of how much I love it.
It's not really functional (I mean it's like 3" tall), but if you hit the fire button it plays the game start music and acts like someone's actually playing with a lit up screen.

Yeah, the sloppy paint job's probably due to the fact that this is for Hallmark's cheap-o ornament line that tends to be sold just about anywhere, instead of the Keepsake Ornaments which are usually much higher quality and have a price to match.

His entire head is pretty haphazardly done… I thought it looked odd and noticed the eyes, but I’d you zoom in you can see the whole head looks like it was applied with Homer Simpson’s makeup shotgun.
