This is my third transformers review and my first Deluxe class review so enjoy. Almost three months ago the day before I went to see Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, I went to Target and bought the new Deluxe Cannon Bumblebee figure. I was never able to get the deluxe Bumblebee figure when the first movie came out cuz Target never had it and every time they did there was one and someone took it from me. That's why I decided I wanted a toy of Bumblebee also because he's probably my favorite autobot next to the Twins. I just started reviewin' these figures which is actually alot of fun and sinceI already had him I just thought that maybe it was a good idea to do so.
Look: The look of Cannon Bumblebee is actually really cool and creative. His head is very detailed especially the eyes. It's neat they wre able to fit in his shoulder cannons that he had in the first film cuz it was sad that he never used them. Everyone has been saying the same darn thing when they review this figure and it's true....Cannon Bumblebee has seats inside of his vehicle mode which makes it a little more detailed and realistic.
Playability: Cannon Bumblebee is very, very playable. Once you get the hang of it, he's pretty easy to transform. The one problem about it is how his head can't stay sticking out of robot mode. Also, pieces can break off easily so be careful but
some of them are made to do that just to make the transformation a little easier. The reasen I highlighted some of them is because when you transform Bumblebee back to his Camaro vehicle mode, you have to push the front of the car to line up all the pieces in place. Doing so, i accidentally broke the piece in the middle of the two stripes off! He still looks cool though. One problem with this figure is that I wish they made a feature where you could pop the mask on and off and possibly do the same with his rightarm's plasma cannon. Otherwise, he's very fun to transform, pose, and play with....wait that sounds a little weird even though they're meant to be played with. Okay, I'll shut up now.
Price & Size: Bumblebeee's size is decent. He can be hard to pose if you don't tilt his chest and feet the right way but his size isn't that big of a problem(Heh, heh. That was a bit of a coincidential play on words.) The price for this toy is fair enough. Just the same as any average deluxe figure being $11.78.
Final Thoughts: I have to say that this toy is a must have if you don't have the regular Deluxe Bumblebee. I mean, come on1 Seats in his robot mode and his head sculpt without the mask is very cool. I wish you could attach hs plasma cannon if you wanted to but oh well. Guys, if you see it and don't have it then I strongly recommend getting him.
Look - 5/5
Playabilty - 4/5
Price - 5/5
Size - 5/5
Total - 19/20
Ps. does anyone know where to find a friggin' Deluxe Ice Cream Twins figure? I can't find one anywhere and it seems like everyone on the web has one and I don't! I don't want it because everyone has one, i want it cuz it's cool an is a very creative figure I'm just upset that everyone's able to find one when there are only Rampages and Demolishors. So if anyone knos how to find one I'd be very thankful.
