    So my best friend recently convinced me to come with him to this year's BotCon. As a result, after a four year hiatus, I am officially back into collecting Transformers, with a fierce vengeance. As such, I've been steadily re-assembling my CHUG collection, including my Classics Cliffjumper.

    This brings up a good question though: With all the amazing Transformers models on ShapeWays, why hasn't anybody come up with a cartoon/ comic accurate replacement head for Classics Cliffjumper? The old Beelzeboss Devil Horns set is a bit pricey, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who doesn't want to buy an entire FoC CJ just for the head. Besides, I'd like to get another one I could use for the custom Tap-Out I'm planning.

    This seems like a no-brainer to me. So how about it, everyone? Would anybody out there like to take a stab at an accurate head model? I'd be very grateful if somebody did.

    I used the wfc Cliffjumper head on mine. Also, the GDO Cliffjumper is AWESOME. unless you're going for a more traditional aesthetic with CJ, I'd highly recommend it

    Simple. Buy the WFC Cliffjumper for the head, which works great on Classics Cliffy:

    Then get FakeBuster's "Rock Shooter" head from Shapeways for the WFC Cliffjumper.

    Presumably, sure. My Classics Cliffjumper is just a cheap knock-off, so I couldn't tell you for certain...
