Beetle Blast!

We're proving that a mediocre show doesn't always mean mediocre toys with a gallery of the Blue Stinger Beetleborg figure from Bandai's Big Bad Beetleborgs toy line!

The figure is an import of the Blue Beet figure from Bandai of Japan's Juukou B-Fighter toy line, released by Bandai of America in 1998.

Blue Stinger stands at 6 inches tall and has 15 points of articulation. The figure comes with an array of accessories including a Sonic Laser, Beetle Battler, and the Stinger Blade attachment. Each of the 6inch figures of the Blue, Green, and Red Beetleborgs also came with their team member's respective weapons as well as their own.

All in all, it is still a solid figure, even by today's standards. The articulation for the most part is decent, but the fantastic metallic blue and chrome paint job the figure has more than makes up for it. The paint is a double-edged sword though as it is almost impossible to find a used Beetleborgs figure without any wear to the metallic paint or chrome.

No one knows if the B-Fighters/Beetleborgs will ever get the S.H. Figuarts treatment, but in the meantime, the figures from Bandai of America's 6 inch line are an excellent placeholder in any collection.
