Stop Motion Review 084 - Hasbro and KO Masterpiece Bumblebee & Spike

[@Transfixed]

Love ya Eyebrow, but personally i don't think size is what we're paying for. I feel like Masterpiece is about design, engineering and aesthetic, not how much plastic we get. But then i also like the exo-suit Spike so what do i know? :) BTW the licence plate stores inside the spare tire which is another awesome touch.

[@TheLazyEyebrow]

Haha don't get me wrong, i am definitely all for Quality v Quantity, and aestheticly I love this guy, but he's got about the same articulation as a deluxe fogure with a slightly more involved transformation, and both times I've gotten a spike that is trash. personally I feel he's worth about half the Canadian retail price, maybe 2/3 the import price, and funny enough, that's what the Americans are paying anyway (or so I'm told )

[@Transfixed]

The Lazy Eyebrow Reviewer Yeah fair points. That Classics 'Bee set a high bar and if I'm honest, i can't justify CAD prices either. I'm becoming a Takasa Tony collector lol

[@beno2002]

RIP MP Bee's chances of scaling with anything.

[@XteroBlade2117]

Enter the transformers masterpiece map-45

[@OptimusPhillip]

Yeah, I can definitely see the scale issues with the Beetle mode. That said, it doesn't look _grossly_ out of proportion, so I'd call it passable... but that's just my take, and I can see why it would bug (hehe, _bug_ ) you.

[@leGUIGUI]

Isn't Bumblebee scaled to be in scale, but only in robot mode? All this cartoon mass shifting, at some point, you have choose whther the vehicle OR the robot will be in scale. It's not feasable to have it both. And they chose for the robot of the MP line (starting with MP-10) to be in scale. Hnce the small Jet too. At least that's my take on it.

[@TheLazyEyebrow]

yeah robot mode was the priority, and I get that. I was just a little bummed when I found out they were ditching vehicle scale altogether. because aside from the jets, I felt they were doing a decent job staying relatively in scale with each other

[@ZetZatar]

ToyWorld's Bee is a nice alternative price-wise, and also has a car mode that matches the cartoon (if that's what you want). I have both, and would have skipped on the MP had I gotten the TW one first.

[@ShatteredGlassUnicron]

I'd rather have a white repaint so I could make it have Herbie's racing stripes in alt mode.

[@TheLazyEyebrow]

Shattered Glass Unicron that's what I wanted! = O I'm hoping ehobby repeats history and makes a white one = P

[@superiongamer3834]

Omg me to

[@scoobysnacks3740]

That would be rightious😎

[@knightriderusa]

That year Beetle only had one mirror, and wow! i always felt Bee was way too big!

[@TheLazyEyebrow]

yep, it did, but I prefer 2, or at least I did, I kinda just skipped mirrors altogether on this figure when I replaced him = P

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

I wonder how Spike's body never gets broken bones when transforming in his suit?

[@superiongamer3834]

6:09 HERBIE!!!!

[@Thetazord]

I fell in love with my-45. One of my favorites now.

[@no_vex]

*coughcoughFOOTBACKPACKS*

[@markcastellanet9672]

I like that bee is much smaller than other mps

[@TopLevelJiuJitsu]

Mark Castellanet agreed

[@fortnitelover1538]

And cliffjumper

[@JJGoldFalconTHELEGENDOFGOLD]

Not sure if you noticed but spike and Daniels bodies are in the chest of the mech suit. Thats why it’s so big.

[@Delfromteamrad]

Now, how do u feel on the MP-45 (MP Bee 2.0)?

[@springartist3454]

wanna know somehin everything scales with mp bee

[@FirehawkProductions]

i got my mp bee yesterday

[@meganura1559]

Everything scales well with a bee Infact heres confirmination (is that a word?) kzbin.info/www/bejne/moLaZapvjMyLmbM

Cool!

[@grimlock8629]

[@skullkidding]

I'm getting Hasbro mp 10 for Christmas I'm so hyped

[@rickycuevas6479]

happy for you.

[@skullkidding]

cool

[@red_underscore911]

The upgrade kits aren't a necessity though so it's not really expensive

[@deathpixelgaming]

i am here to review the american and takasa tony bumblebee. oh and spike too

[@blackcatleader2459]

honestly, I agree with a reviewer known as Emgo316 and it's usually correct, "Hasbro doesn't care about scale so why should I." But I understand where your coming from.

[@AWPWN1]

If another KO company were to upscale this figure, would you consider purchasing it?

[@TheLazyEyebrow]

in a heart beat

[@chenguangmai]

As far as I know, Wei Jiang is planning on making an upscaled MP bumble

[@chenguangmai]

My bad, it's KBB, not Wei Jiang

[@shanosummesteros9563]

VW beetle was 4m long, a Porche 935 is almost 5m long. MP21 is 1:35 scale which does scale with MP10 and most deluxe cars. The issue is that most MP cars are 1:29 or 1:30 scale. Tracks is 1.325 (so in between BB and the other cars).

[@ssj4jason737]

but can Bee fit in MP-10's trailer?

[@heyheyheychocolaterain3058]

I don’t care what you say everything scales well with mp bee whether you like it or not

[@bluerazor7049]

what a nice model of bubmlbee

[@Gizmobroke]

It is bumblebee.

[@christosvozikis881]

I cant really undestand the naggin on his scale...I mean you compared him with other toy lines which is wrong (comparing apples to oranges?) and then you just take only the vehicle mode into account and not the robot mode thats what the Mps scale btw. And honestly he doesnt scale badly. After all in real life we dont have mass transferance :D Great video otherwise and I agree with most of your points.

[@KSLVBornana]

6:55 No disrespect or anything, but isnt the masterpiece series MEANT to scale with one another AND be extremely cartoon/movie accurate?

[@ajhigginscomposer]

Yes but it doesn't really.

[@ThePookie1977]

Fun fact this was used for the Netflix WFC but the back of the car comes off

[@stunnastream11]

Fun fact! My clay model of Bumblebee was basically a serious downsize of MP Bee 1.0, same thing with Cliffjumper (except he's a Porsche 924 or Mitsubishi Starion).

[@n00bmastr69]

do you think the KO is painted with lead paint?

[@nicolas-davidgouin2365]

And i thought Optibotimus was grumpy! You surpass him by far.

[@TheLazyEyebrow]

Nicolas-David Gouin best compliment I've got all hour

[@nicolas-davidgouin2365]

The Lazy Eyebrow Reviewer you're welcome. The review was very usefull though.

[@lego0788]

Omg I didn’t realize that “everything scales well with mp bee” was a joke lol

[@beeter3588]

So do you have 2 or 1 of them

[@Dragondude2525]

I can’t wait till the Netflix WFC bumblebee is more accessible or reissued or repackaged for studio series or legacy so o can get my hands on that.

[@wingdagger7612]

I bought the KO without even realizing it -_- It was only when I got the figure and looked over the box, I noticed the 'Takasa Tony' logo...

[@ATrueFloater]

These reviews are awesome your my favorite and funniest reviewer .

[@winterwolf0604]

Well of course he's small he's the old bumblebee what did you think I mean bumblebee is my favorite so judge him all you want but he is still a in important part of the team and I suppose you like goldbug more than bumblebee

[@TheLazyEyebrow]

nah, still like Bee. and as stated. love love looooove mp bee as a stand alone. but with others, he tiny

[@TopLevelJiuJitsu]

In the cartoon, he barely comes up to prime's knee. Do a basic google search. This scaling is accurate

[@josephcrickmore53019]

I just want to ask u do u also like herbie cause i am waiting for a repaint for herbie

[@samhenderson6474]

6:11 Nice Touring Car Masters photo you got there. RIP Lazy Eyebrow.

[@kasualtoycollector]

great review! very funny too! liked and subbed!

[@israelmoreno3620]

I just got the ko bee and spike in love the toy,buy my autobot logo on the top of the bug it's on backwards

[@TheLazyEyebrow]

I've heard that's been happening

[@israelmoreno3620]

The Lazy Eyebrow Reviewer I wish I could fix that but don't to break it

[@mws3779]

If you can, take apart the joint and put thin film of plastic safe grease on the parts that rub against each other. This will make this move much better.

[@juwangarcia217]

did you know there's going to be a Titan return both predaking and abuminus

[@TheLazyEyebrow]

huh. i did not know that. i was wondering if computron would get his rival

[@cooperbrown5597]

wow

[@cooperbrown5597]

I am getting predaking and maybe abominus

[@MWExpressions]

I don't think it's Titans return. They might do another CHUG line after TR

[@orion9026]

WAIT!?!?!?!??! COMBINER WARS IS NOW IN TITANS RETURN????? fucking hell

[@Transformingnormality]

It's my birthday today, so thank you for uploading this today! Keep making good videos!

[@Transformingnormality]

Than don't reply u jerk

[@sussy_pamcake87]

Wait,does the box actually say taksa tony?

[@lasafrog]

Hahaha. The car comments at the end. Hilarious.

[@Anakunus]

I do not know about the other robots, but at least when scaled against that Optimus Prime figure, Bumblebee is pretty much on scale with it in a robot mode. In the cartoon, Bumblebee's height was barely half of Optimus's.

[@noeldoesgames4121]

I remember seeing spike like that in the movie when I was very young

[@jakejager]

Shockingly, the few KO's I have are actually better than the original and usually half the price. The KO MP44 fixed issues the original had making it fun to play with compared to Takara's. Also got the KO sunstreaker and it good, couldn't really see a difference between the KO and Takara's other than the KO came coated in mineral oil (fun clean up).

[@DolkkarToyznstuff]

If I could get the official for the KO price, now that would be something. Cool video.

[@probably_xavier]

WHERE CAN I GET THESE BECAUSE I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE!!

[@jtek2259]

At first when I watch this I thought you were being too mad about the scaling, until I put it next to my MP tracks, and what the fuck is this it’s so poorly scaled

[@predaconsreview9772]

Eyebrow, you bought bumblebee in aliexpress or in Amazon?

[@tonyf8358]

Great vid! I do recommend a Lint brush.

[@chiliesauce8381]

Thats right mr. eyebrowreviewer make them treat bumblebee with the equality of coolness in appearance that the other autobots and decepticons are treated with.I agree with you whole heartedly. Bumblebee should be on the level of coolness that orion pax was on especially since bee has the same qualities as pax did to become a prime. Bee looks like he should become a prime too.

[@cartkart1]

I accidentally broke off the mirror on my MP-21 Bee but the peg is still in there so I can’t put in the replacement mirror.

[@devinleber5604]

you should try review titans return or RID 2015 Bumblebee

[@mixedtrafficproductions9371]

This vehicle mode size isn’t accurate to real life it is accurate to the cartoon which explains why it is so small

[@antidota5632]

in the 80s when he saw the yellow Volkswagen Beetle, the children probably would have thought that it was now transforming into Bumblebee)))

[@cartkart1]

MP-21 is cool and all, but after owning him, I definitely would have only payed at most $40 for him, not $70.

[@Heroduothecomedian]

I dont remember spike transforming in the movie but I do remember his son doing it and knock kick back and one contructicon off his feet

[@TheLazyEyebrow]

details....details

[@Heroduothecomedian]

+The Lazy Eyebrow Reviewer lol but great review and ill miss the joke

[@hatmann5697]

I never needed to be careful with my bumblebee

[@phantom1592]

Thanks for pointing out that official spike is just a garbage as the KO one. Bee is the first KO I bought and I was pretty upset with things like spike falling apart and considered getting the official anyways. What about the gun? The gun is supposed to plug under the hood in car mode. Mine simply does NOT. It just falls out all the time and frustrates me. Is that a KO thing or just an MP Bee thing?

[@AWPWN1]

I was lucky enough to purchase my Hasbro MP Bumblebee for $50 CAD at my local Toys R Us, granted, the packaging was heavily damaged, but the figure was perfectly intact.

[@Bobsheaux]

15:28 - Ugh... been here....

[@TheLazyEyebrow]

haha i forgot about this. our neighbor 2 doors down had this stupid Jimmy. the sound of engine you're hearing is being recorded from the 4th floor of our building. moron lol

[@QueenVoodo0]

I saw this a while after we saw the new bee, hope you like cartoon accuracy because that’s what we’re getting I believe

[@doctor_disco5623]

Im so glade somebody cares about the scale on the human figures

[@FirehawkProductions]

i got mine yesterday

[@nitroprime9714]

got the takasa for 36 cad

[@Dat1214]

on Amazon they are 30.00 dollars

[@jaredleeroy6039]

On eBay they are cheaper

[@Delfromteamrad]

I want for that price.

[@minisoul01]

There $70.00 for me

[@Gizmobroke]

There used to be a 10$

[@gmultimedio]

Hi. Im a Volkwagen Beetle owner. Mine is a 1979 VW Beetle made in Mexico and it comes with a left and right mirrors. In fact all the Beetles made in Brazil and Mexico until 2003 came with 2 mirrors, so the Ko version is not wrong. (Sorry for my english, greetings fron Ecuador in South America)

[@TheLazyEyebrow]

gmultimedio i thought so! that's awesome! and hello = )

[@esket866]

woah, there is a hasbro bumblebee? sweet!

[@esket866]

the takara pne came with 3 faces,happy,a neutral face and the g1 toy face

[@TheLazyEyebrow]

i thought was only through amazon though

[@esket866]

check out emgo's review,he said that it comes with three faces.

[@esket866]

one*

[@thedriftyisaac6008]

Wish it was more bright yellow and squished up like the cartoon

[@silverfoil8854]

Hi man. Just wondering whats your opinion on the MP Bee 2.0?

[@superpixelwarrior6893]

In your opinion, what would be a reasonable price if it was only bumblebee and no spike

[@TheLazyEyebrow]

Maybe 50 US? Like at the time I the cars were like 80 a piece

[@superpixelwarrior6893]

The Lazy Eyebrow Reviewer is the bee with the smaller black box the ko version?

[@TheLazyEyebrow]

Yeah

[@superpixelwarrior6893]

The Lazy Eyebrow Reviewer well I just ordered it last night for like $20 hopefully it's good enough quality

[@CID_VII]

The third head mask of the KO wasn't a battle mask, it was the face of "Gold Bug", Bumblebee with an update in the last seasons. Great Review!

[@donchapu8356]

I think that in car mode MP bee is in scale with Post-Dotm deluxe Class figures

[@figment616]

I know the size of the cartoon always fluctuated but the way size has always been to me is, A human is up to Bees waist and Bee is about 3/4 of Primes waist, meanwhile to me, the biggest issue is the color, it's not cartoon, toy or, in most cases real life accurate.

[@shockwave514]

Great review, luckily I have the Takara one (which I still need to put Reprolabels on) which isn't all that bad but spike is eh for the most part.

[@TheLazyEyebrow]

i am really thinking I need me some of them labels too. spike surprised me with how garbage he was. i was expecting waaaaay more out of the official

[@shockwave514]

The Lazy Eyebrow Reviewer I got them in my room I just need to get off my butt and apply them.

[@bigfatsumo35]

wtf my hasbro bumblebee doesn't come with the bumper

[@TheLazyEyebrow]

bigfatbot35 well now that sucks

[@bigfatsumo35]

The Lazy Eyebrow Reviewer well it doesn't really matter to me anymore cuz I'm also getting the KO takara version

[@legoawcstopmotioner9435]

I'm not a fan of G1 Bumblebee but I like the more recent versions.

[@Bobsheaux]

It's like the Toy Story Collection, where every Toy Story toy to be released in conjunction with the 3rd movie was trying to be as movie-accurate as possible. It'd be GREAT if they made movie-accurate Pizza Planet squeaky toy aliens, but even a collection of 3 of those things would top off at maybe $5. So what do they do? Make them a thicker plastic, NOT squeak, and come in a variety of different poses. ...Yeah... Money well-spent. -_-

[@stanletters]

You can also peg the license plate into the spare tire then peg the spare tire in

[@kingcheerio8558]

it's only meant to scale in bot mode, that was confirmed long before release. Does that justify the price? Hell no. Does that justify the rants of surprise and outrage? also hell no

[@MantisNineNines]

I really liked spike myself, interesting engineering. in fact all around I like this much more than you do. but to each their own! great video anyway!

[@luckyblockyoshi]

Actually it's Daniel

[@steamfan4014]

I mostly got this figure for Bumblebee. I could care less about Exo-suit Spike. I paid $70 for him, if that gives you an idea of where I live. This is the only Masterpiece figure I have at the moment but I do plan on getting more in the future. I absolutely love my Bumblebee and the Volkswagen Beetle he turns into, I think it's a 1972 Volkswagen Super beetle. The vehicle mode makes me want to get a 1972 Super beetle and paint it like Bumblebee. The other Masterpiece figures I want are; mp-10 Optimus Prime, mp-11 Starscream, mp-12 Sideswipe, the Datsun trio, Ironhide, Ratchet, Sunstreaker, Megatron, the Beast Wars cast, Wheeljack, and Ultra Magnus. I more cartoon accurate versions of figures like Prime, Starscream, and Bee are out but I like the more real world accurate looks simpler transformations of the older figures

[@dylanrank361]

I have the masterpiece g2 bumblebee with the battle mask, and I like it better, instead of exo spike you get a jet pack.

[@sideways198]

I got him for 42£ so no complaints

[@art-n-filmsam3844]

Yeah, he should've been bigger, on a side note, I think Ultra Magnus should be smaller, it's impossible for the vehicle mode, but he was as tall as Prime of not shorter

[@karate-rye9964]

I have the g2 version of bumblebee I love the nice metalic paint on it, it also comes with a jet pack as well which is awesome. By the way are you going to get the g2 version of bumblebee?

[@TheLazyEyebrow]

maybe. the gold does look pretty slick. though I don't quite have the coin for it

[@stevengerou7914]

Humans that come with Transformers are the accesorys.

[@wam9902]

bumblebee in vehicle mode does need a change in height, but for Robot mode... He's actually too tall.

[@conflicthorizon]

Please know that there are two types of beetles. Models before 73 are not a long as the 73 super beetle. The model looks more like the super., but don't quote me on that.
