Transformers: Buzzworthy Bumblebee World’s Collide 4-Pack (Blackarachnia, Bumblebee, Fangry & Brisko, Nemesis Primal)
Blackarachnia
Previous Mold Use: Kingdom Deluxe Class Blackarachnia
Blackarachnia has been repainted into her colors from her original Beast Wars box art with a new head based on her original toy face sculpt. It’s kind of a bizarre color scheme as it is not even vaguely like her original toy or her original animation. I do kind of like it though.
Bumblebee
Previous Mold Use: Earthrise Deluxe Class Cliffjumper, Selects Deluxe Class Hubcap, Netflix War for Cybertron Trilogy Deluxe Class Bumblebee, Selects Deluxe Class Bug Bite
Bumblebee is made from the Earthrise Cliffjumper body and the head from the Netflix Bumblebee. It’s not bad looking, but feels like a very unnecessary repaint.
Brisko
Previous Mold Use: Titans Return Titan Master Fangry
Brisko has been repainted. Most notably his robot mode face is now painted.
Fangry
Previous Mold Use: Titans Return Deluxe Class Twinferno, Titans Return Deluxe Class Grotesque, Power of the Primes Deluxe Class Repugnus
I know we are never going to get the other smaller Headmasters, but it’s nice to at least get one. Fangry looks pretty great. I like the wolf head and the SPD STR INT on his chest.
Nemesis Primal
Previous Mold Use: Kingdom Voyager Class Optimus Primal
Well, I guess there weren’t a lot of options to repaint Optimus Primal, so a Nemesis version is as good as anything I guess. (At least it’s not Oilmaster.) I really love the colors. He has quite a few paint apps in a bunch of colors. Hasbro seems to have put in some extra work on this one, which does not make up for all the ones they phone in.
Overall: This is a really nice set. Is it a must have? Probably not, though Fangry does make it hard to pass on. Unfortunately these seemed to have dried up before going on clearance.
Thanks for reading!
Could have made a slick Burning Convoy from that instead of Nemesis Primal. Would’ve needed minimal paint apps.
