We were all surprised how small it was when he opened it, as he enjoys building & playing with them. Feel the size of it was not plain enough to see. Have gotten him other transformers for around the same price & they were all a larger size, so now I will be rethinging about ordering from you again.Thank you, Sharon from Sacramento Transformers Deluxe Classic Bumblebee Figure, I brought this for my 10 year old grandson for Chkristmas. It seems to be very well made but I did pay $54.99 for it & was very disapointed in the size of it.
Amazon is ultimately responsible. Amazon needs to address this issue with its 3rd party vendors. We will not repeat business with Game City again.
We thought it was about twice the size. Most online stores provide descriptions that include dimensions. There was no description of the dimensions of this item.
Why not Game City. http://www.amazon.com/Transformers-Deluxe-Classic-Bumblebee-Figure/dp/B000EUKRV8/ref=pd_ts_t_21.ie=UTF8&s=toys-and-games Transformers for this price usually are.
This was misleading not to make the size available.
Not a happy parent. It is very small for the price. Out of all fairness on my ratings, I don't know how durable it is and how much fun it is, but worth fifty bucks it is not. I expected it to be at least twice as big as it is.
It is really great that the car has front seats as that adds an additional detail which makes the vehicle mode look great. He has door shields, just like the new Optimus, but in Bumblebees case I feel that they were better done, since Optimus's kind of flop around when you move his arms. The quality of the plastic and paint in the wave runner is not in the same class as the quality of the Bumblebee figure and the area where it hooks onto the car just look awkward overall. They lock into place and are very solidly stuck to his arms in robot mode.My few complaints, and the reasons I didn't give this toy 5 stars is that instead of a fun, he comes with a silly "waverunner on a trailer." I don't know whose idea this was, but the trailer/waverunner really feel like an afterthought for the toy.
A lot of people are complaining that Bumblebee is no longer a VW Bug. However the flaps above the feet on my toy tend to get caught under the seats when posing, making it occasionally irratating to move the legs and making me worry I might chip the paint of the leg or the seat. Like someone else mentioned he really should have just come with a gun.My second complaint is his "knees" which are formed by the two front seats inside the car. Hasbro has liscencing reasons why they chose not to use that car, but at the same time they could have chosen not to re-release this character as a new, highly poseable toy too, so don't complain too loudly.Anyway, yes this car no longer looks like a Bug, but having said that, the original toy was a lot smaller and didn't actually look like the cartoon character either.
More like a "gee this toy needs an accessory" type of addition than something really thought through. Its a minor thing but it coulda been fixed by just making the seat slightly shorter.All in all I am very happy with this toy, its a great addition and puts the original Bumblebee to shame. This version of the toy is very well made and the headsculpt is nearly a perfect match for what we all saw in the original cartoons. Bumblebees do not.
If you have Optimus, this one looks great standing beside him. He transforms better than most, the picture does'nt do him justice, it makes him look stiff. I DO wish he had come with some sort of weapon, but I have a few other transformers from this same generation that don't really need BOTH that THEY came with. The Jetski Jetpack adds an unneeded extra flair to an already awesome robo mode.
Most Old Skool fans are angry he's not a VW Beetle anymore. Transformer fans Don't Delay, pick this one up. What's even MORE awesome for me is that I bought this at the grocery store, as one of the very few toys they had in thier christmas section, for $10 if your looking for just any ONE good transformer, bumblebee is a good choice. I kinda never liked beetles anyway, so Im happy with the new unlicenced thing.
And as an extra retro touch It has a tempurture sensitive decal on his chest/top of the car that must be held for a minute before it will reveal the autobot logo [just like his original 80s version]. I can't wait to see movie's camaro bumblebee in july. It looks like a mix of a MINI and a Peugeot. Actually, for how bulky he is, he's amazingly bendable, I particularly like that his "door/shields" are'nt attached to his arm, their on a cuffling that rotates so they wont be too awkward like many of the others with "door/shields".
