Some Updates on Mech Planet HS-09 Big Yellow Bee ( Bumblebee ) and Mech Fans Toys MFT MF-21 Swooper ( Swoop )

My Bumblebee is the "giraffe" version, i.e. long-necked. Frankly, it looks ok, but my impression of G1 Bumblebee is fat plumb and short, so a shorter neck (NOT no neck!!!) will fit him better... This is how his neck looks like in the head...


I file own the top of the "mushroom" thinner, and the head will be able to sit down a bit...


Shorter neck looks slightly better!!! Head can turn 360 degrees and face is also not blocked when turn to the sides...


For my Swoop, somehow the 2 halves of the chest pieces are super hard (not tight) to swivel, and after a few turning, the part, shown in the picture below, breaks. Could not figure out what causes the extremely uncomfortable turn, but luckily, the break does not affect the figure (still pretty sturdy in both modes...)

Side-Tracked: Recent Haul of KOs (205) - Mech Fans Toys MFT MF-21 Swooper ( Swoop ) , MF-22 Slagus ( Slag ), MF-23 Slurdge ( Sludge ), MS-01 Assault Soldiers ( Springer ), Mech Planet HS-09 Big Yellow Bee ( Bumblebee )

Collected my nd TF haul this year...


Mech Fans Toys MFT MF-21 Swooper ( Swoop )... is an oversized KO of the DX9 version... Relatively good figure with tight joints... Some screws need to be loosen first... Cost approximately SGD 25.20 ...



MF-22 Slagus ( Slag ) has some terrible tolerance in certain parts when transforming. Paint scrapping is a constant fear whenever a painted part has to forcefully be moved... Cost approximately SGD 25.20 ...



MF-23 Slurdge ( Sludge ) cost approximately SGD 25.20 ... Not yet remove the toy for feedback or anything...



MS-01 Assault Soldiers ( Springer )very cute little Springer, though I also have to agree many parts can be done better... But still , this is still a pretty solid TF figure... cost approximately SGD 22.95



and finally... Mech Planet HS-09 Big Yellow Bee ( Bumblebee )... cost approximately SGD 21.05
