Custom 2008 / 2009 Camero Bumblebee by Jin Saotome

BumblebeV2_003-747836 jin-saotome-customizers-2Having not seen any 2009 Camero Bumblebee’s in the stores, I am tempted to buy this work of art. After being criticized for the poor condition of Bumblebee’s vehicle mode as a ‘77 Camero, he scans a passing 2009 preproduction Camero and Jin has captured Bumblebee’s movie essence with this latest custom. Aside from the immaculate paint job, Jin has made some other additions that compliment the figure nicely. First, he provided a movie accurate head, which many of the current Transformers toys are lacking. Second, he added a removable arm cannon that slips off his shoulder so you can have increased poseability. It is this attention to detail that makes Jin’s customs very sought after. Jon goes on to explain more about his custom:

“This custom has been painted with an exceptional level of detail, and with paint that’s not going to rub or flake off. Handle it, pose it, just don’t give it to your little brother to play outside with. You’ll find that my custom figure designs are durable and look great as well. Now you can have the best of both worlds. It’s Bumblebee! This time the bee sports a new look with a new movie-accurate head and removable arm-cannon. He’s been repainted and detailed to look like the movie character with different effects such as shading, highlights, metallic paints, and weathering to his robot parts. Slip his right arm off at the shoulder and you can replace it with the cannon-arm, also jointed at the elbow for maximum poseability. Tho I don’t have his battlemask-head ready yet, it will probably be included in the auction so look for the added pictures later. Bumblebee transforms like the store-bought toy but it’s best to remove his new head so you don’t get it banged up underneath the vehicle. Oh, and no panel lines in car mode! There, he looks nice and clean this time. So, were you looking for a super-detailed Bumblebee with a face anyone can love? Know a friend that needs a hand? A cannon-hand? Heheh.. Then don’t pass this auction up!”

The cannon hand is a very welcome and much needed addition to Bumblebee. I have provided a side by side comparison of Jin’s Custom and Hasbro’s version. The cannon is definitely an addition that will net this custom big bucks in the auction arena:
