Nope! I am happy with my Studio Series BB and am not gonna hunt down another wild goose-chase Walmart *spit* exclusive.

I snagged the Netflix one from Japan back when it came out. So both of these are passes for me.

Looking forward to seeing Seaspray now.

My Dinoking arrived today. Nice set as the Dinoforce, but glad I passed on the Dinobot versions... 8^)

I seem to have gotten a bum version of Kakuryu, though. He's got two left rear legs (so the foot on the right is facing backwards), and is missing the "tail gun" that attaches to the combiner head. Fortunately, that doesn't seem to be critical for anything, but it's still disappointing.

They gave Gears a toy-accurate head, but couldn't be bothered to do the same for Bumblebee?

The general guess is that Gears had that head pre-planed as an existing part of the mold so it was free to be used, but the BB mold didn't have a counterpart.

-ZacWilliam, I mean the Goldbug head is closer but also not exactly the G1 head, so shrug..

Bumblebee's G1 toy has been reissued with his cartoon head enough that it's kinda accurate.
I really think they did it though, so that people who missed NF Bumblebee could get a second chance at the mould with the "popular" cartoon head.

At this point, I'm a little surprised they don't just come with alternate heads. We already know the molds are usually pre-tooled with at least one, and a few of the multi-pack releases came with extra heads. Unless the heads are able to be gated off during molding, the material costs are already accounted for as waste (I assume), and even if the alternate heads are unpainted, I feel like including them would feel like added value to most collectors.

Warden did say he wants to find a venue for weapon and alternate head packs.
They've been experimenting with both for a bit now, with multi-packs that come with extra heads for figures and redecos packages with weapons/accessory packs.
