A punchable level of smugness.

Odd question, does Core Vocanicus have a neck? It looked almost like Dinoking's head came up higher, but I can't tell if that's real or just an illusion caused by all the black plastic.

So I got SS86 Bumblebee today. Not sure if I like him. With how... square he is, he feels like an updo of the core Bumblebee.

Since I don't technically own the Netflix Bumblebee, here he is next to Yellow Cliffjumper

I do however have Buzzworthy Goldbug, and I suppose that kinda makes me feel better about SS86 Bumblebee, as Goldbug looks like he was completely rebuilt for his upgrade, rather then given a new head and paintjob:

My tastes have always skewed towards toy rather than Sunbow...
If SS 86 Bee was the first G1 Bumblebee since Classics I'd be all in on him but we have Netflix Bumbelee and a specially more Sunbow-y take just doesn't hit right.

But at the same time Netflix Bee had historically bad distribution so this is a pretty acceptable take to make up for that.

To me this is kinda weird, as with Goldbugs head, this would be the most toy accurate bumblebee we've gotten. His alt mode is very specifically the squat penny racer of the G1 toy. Netflix Bumblebee might look better overall, but he's not remotely close to the actual G1 toy. He's kinda the idealized Bumblebee.

I'm still just hoping this "similar to, but legally distinct from" VW will let them be more liberal with the repaints. I want Glyph and Bug Bite and Wasp and Volks and any number of repaints from this mold that they weren't willing to pay licensing fees for before.

That's a good point. I'm probably going to skip or at least delay Bee, but I'm hoping Glyph and Tapout finally get made, and if those are from versions of this mold, why not.

Aside: has anyone made like a proper injected plastic (or whatever, just not a 3d print thing) version of that upgrade kit bit that allowed the hatchback portion to be attached to the torso in transformation?
