I realize this is an older thread but....what a fine looking pair!
Black Widow + Bumblebee ... a match made in heaven (or some other unspecified location in the Pentaxian Cosmos

)

I just ordered my bumblebee to go with my Stormtrooper. I can't wait. I want all 5. This is the first camera model I've ever wanted to collect.

Sounds like a smart move to me, Larry.
Please post pictures of your K-01 siblings together, after your Bumblebee arrives!

I considered selling my K-01, but I think I'm going to hang onto it. It could become a collector's item since it's so quirky and capable.

i love this unique camera, I own one as second body and I am very happy, really easy to carry and good IQ of course.

I loved my K-01 Panda so much that when a Bumblebee was available, I bought that one too. It's the only camera I've "collected."
The main problem with this camera was it cost $800 at launch. Like you I bought the Panda (when Pentax dropped the price to $299) thinking I would use it as a cheap backup, but I ended up using it all the time. Between the Panda and Bumblebee, I've spent less than $500.

Looking forward to the K-02 (FF with EVF)

I would 100% pull the Black and Silver apart, and swap all the plastic parts over, full a full silver and a full black body.
