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...)
