Okay so Hasbro have released another version of the Bumblebee Concept Camaro mould. So, should you buy it? In my opinion yes.
This is the 8th version of this mould to be released (Yes I have all of them as I am Bumblebee fan) and only the second to be remoulded in any shape or form. The previous versions include:
Bumblebee Original Concept Camaro
Battle Damaged Bumblebee
Allspark Bumblebee
Screen Battles Bumblebee
Stealth Bumblebee (Remould)
Premium Bumblebee (Remould)
Cliffjumper
Bumblebee has the addition of an actual gun arm reminiscent of the film instead of an accessory that clips into his hand. This is much better than the original gun/blade accessory that comes with all other versions. The one minor flaw is that the missile is slightly too long to fit in the barrel without it being at the wrong angle. If you know what you are doing (and if not seek a parents advice) take a sharp craft knife and carefully cut about 1/2 cm off the end of it. This will enable Bumblebee to display his projectile and launch it as intended in robot mode.
The other big change is a head re sculpt which makes Bee look much more like his film version. Okay no battle helmet (you'll have to get the Human Alliance version for that) but there was no way they could build that into a deluxe figure without extra cost.
The transformation to vehicle mode is the same as before and is only slightly hampered by the new gun arm. It can be a little difficult to do it with the missile attached as the instructions say but it can be done. Don't try and remove the missile and then place it back in once in vehicle mode as this can be a nightmare to accomplish.
In vehicle mode again the classy Camaro 2009 version is on display. If there is anyone out there who does not drool over this car you must be mental. Realistically it isn't too far removed from previous versions with the exception of a slightly remoulded grill. At the end of the day its a great looking Camaro, what more could you want?
Overall, if you have any of the other moulds should you buy it? The answer is yes. If you don't have Bumblebee already should you buy it? It depends; the Human Alliance version does offer more features and is bigger but if you don't have the money then this is for you. From a Bumblebee fan it comes recommended.
Scores:
Bot mode: 7/10 - Just the missile fix makes this annoying
Alt mode: 8/10 - Its one of the nicest looking cars around
Transformation: 7/10 - Not too complicated but the missile can be fiddly.
Overall: 8/10 - Yes its another version of the Camaro Bumblebee.
