Looks beautiful! 3A is just on fire with this line. I agree with you Justin, they should just stick with this scale. And just bring some of the stuff they are doing with the larger scale on to this like the posable fingers and additional accessories along with the clear plastic piece instead of painted. The larger line is just so big and clumsy. This is way more manageable and posable and better to display the whole line.
I just got mine today. Ordering direct from 3A is so easy. I don't have to wait for it to reach a shop first. Watching your video I already know it looks great. But it's nothing like having it in hand. They managed to do the unexpected. They managed to make this, in my opinion, even better than the excellent DLX Bumblebee. It's got more poseability! Both of them are incredible though! I'm also in the first batch of Optimus pre-orders and I cannot wait to get that in! I agree with you and I wish they would just focus on the DLX line. The size is perfect. I build Gundam kits and I have come to appreciate expressive fixed posed hands more so than poseble ones. So I don't have an issue with that. Although, if they made poseable hands with die cast so that joint stiffness can be maintained, I won't complain. Both Blitz and Bee are currently my favorite figures. I'm sure Prime will follow suit.
You weren't kidding when you said you were uploading it with minor compression! love the quality of the vid. I could see the panel lines and everything
@@JustinsCollection i guess it is worth it if you want to showcase every bit of detail. The panel lines on his chest aren't as visible at 480p. It can be seen at 1080p but its best viewed at 2160p. Plus it helps a lot with the lighting. It makes it look less overexposed making the edges of the figure visible and not blown out due to the bright white background. I guess it depends whether you wanna upload it immediately or not. Your recent vids are great so you don't have to upload it at this quality often, but this change does look better in my opinion. It aint necessary but it is gorgeous!.
Hey Justin. You are indeed excited for this figure. I saw this at SDCC and I ordered it immediately. I can't wait to get mine. Once again, thank you for the AMAZING review.
3A now 3Zero has done the entire Transformer line justice. I love every figure from the “Bumblebee” movie. I just pre-ordered the Soundwave as well. I have all 3 DLX figures and hear they will be releasing more from movie including the 2 triple changers.
One thing I don't like about this figure is that the cockpit has 2 or 3 different colors... The upper area of the cockpit is not the same color as the center part...Which is not that great because after all it's the same jet part so it should be the same color
They don't do articulated hands in this small scale series so they could make benefit from the bigger premium series They didn't include them as well along with the blade weapon and the color changing eyes on bumblebee to save them for their premium version. Less people will buy them if these cheaper figures are too sufficient and we can't really blame them
so despite his price and him not transforming he still is missing details like the army decals and the hand cannon is inaccurate (there weren't missiles on it in the scene)
Awesome figure, for me this is how Starscream should have looked. Also I would put him in the movie as the main antagonist and at the end he flies off. Cowards do survive 😅
I honestly hate myself I missed PO-ing him "cheap", only have Bee in my collection and Prime on 2nd batch PO. (Just because I missed out the first batch with one day!! Damn me..)
