Transformers Legacy United Deluxe Class Animated Universe Bumblebee, 5.5-Inch Converting Action Figure, 8+

Great toy

I just got this figure in today, and I have to admit, it’s a really good and fun figure. The transformation is fun, and the vehicle mode is nice and compact. It does definitely look like an updated version of the 2008 TFA figure.

Great figure for fans of the original Transformers Animated Bumblebee. Something to note is that this is a very small figure, despite it being a “deluxe class” it’s a tad bit on the small side. If you’re feeling nostalgic for the cult classic Transformers Animated, then this figure is the right one for you! As someone who grew up with the original series and figure, this hits close to home and I’m so glad that Hasbro is acknowledging the show that was so beloved.

I want to start by saying that Hasbro has seemingly improved the quality of cardboard used on the Legacy United figures (that I've gotten so far). It seems to be a lot thicker and more protective of the figures. This Bumblebee figure is quite small, but very articulated and detailed. A lot of the hollow gaps that would normally be on a deluxe, are filled in on this figure. It does a good job of blending the animated style with a more traditional one. One downside to the figure overall is the use of clear plastic, and although it seems thicker than what they were using, I'm still worried about breakage. The accessories are somewhat underwhelming. He comes with 2 blasters that double as boosters and his "stingers" peg into them via a small clear plastic peg. I'm once again concerned by the durability of these as the pegs are quite small and easily broken. The alt mode is the worst part of this figure. Transformation into alt-mode is a bit finicky. It's not that its difficult step-wise, it's just hard to get everything lined up right and move the door panels into place. What you end up with is a vehicle with gaps and things not going into place properly. It's quite a mess. The robot mode is so good though and makes it worth the purchase. I do wish these smaller bots had their own class at a cheaper price, but that's to be expected. Overall, I think that if you are a fan of the animated series then this would be a good figure to get.

My grandson loved it. He is 4 but no one could figure out how to transform it.

Uno mas para la colección

Great price for a very nostalgic toy of a cartoon I watched with my older sons who are young men now!

This bumblebee is tiny, but nicely detailed. This Bumblebee can pose fairly well and the transformation is pretty easy.

No os dejeis engañar por el hecho de que no tenga las curvas que tenia en Animated. Si eres fan de la serie, sinceramente te va a gustar, a menos que seas muy tikismikis, en ese caso pasa de ella, esta figura no es para ti.

Alles prima. Schnelle Lieferung, die Ware war gut verpackt und einwandfrei. Ich vergebe 5 Sterne.

Il est vraiment trop choupi ! J'avais la figurine bee animated de l'époque mais il avait pas mal de défauts, cette figurine legacy corrige presque tout, avec en plus une transformation sympa et plein d'articulations.

Absolutely love this guy!!

This guy is honestly awesome. Despite being an Animated Bumblebee, he is adapted into a different design that allows him to fit better next to the more G1 inspired Generations toys, and I think the result is fantastic. He has the frame of the classic G1 Bumblebee, but with much more stylish design and a very expressive face. He poses extremely well for a deluxe, with a lot of movement available on all joints though the shoulder's movements are rather strange and take a bit to get used to. He is also the first Deluxe I got to have wrist articulation and technically even wrist bending due to the transformation. His size is appropriately small which allows him to get carried by the real voyager robots which I think is really fun to pose with. His torpedo effect doubling up as guns is also very inspired and means he has enough accessories to make for fun poses. His transformation is fine, and his car mode is not too pretty, so I mainly keep him in the robot mode, but as a Bumblebee I can't imagine we will ever get one that looks better than this guy for my taste.
