Toy Review: Transformers Figure Collection Bumblebee

Review:  #88

Allegiance:  Autobot
Line:  Figure Collection

Size Class:  N/A

FIGURE:


This is just going to be a short and sweet review since there's really not much to these tiny capsule toys.  They are made from a slightly rubbery plastic, with metallic coloring.  One thing to note is that all the Autobots have painted blue eyes, which is easy to miss.  The sculpting is based on the 2007 Movie toys, even though these were released and branded ROTF.


Bumblebee also comes with a circular black stand, with "BUMBLEBEE" in tiny raised lettering (I used the wrong one in the photos above).  Bumblebee is hard to stand, he keeps falling over due to the small feet and the tendency for the figure to fall over backwards. There are a lot of molded detail for such tiny figures, and it's fun to see how much of the mold's sculpting they copied if you have the toy.


Each figure comes with a small leaflet that advertises the other eight figures.

OVERALL:

Considering that they're $2 each, they're simply not worth it...  For a few dollars more you can get a bigger fully convertible toy.  Anyway, these feel cheap and I'm not really sure what purpose they can serve, since they don't look terribly great as a display figure.
