Some comparison pics with the original classic Cliffjumper





Also, some comparison pics with the TF Prime Cliffjumper (same mold). The colour on this GDO Cliffjumper is of little deeper red compared to the TF Prime Cliffjumper

Welp, here's my blown-out camera-phone offerings. I have a lot of Classics and third-party stuff, so just make a request and I'll see what I can do.

The figure itself is great. Like everyone has mentioned, he's a deeper red than FE Cliff. The plastic has a lot of whorls in it, especially on the hood. He fits together pretty well, although he can be a bit stubborn about locking together in car-mode. He doesn't have any of the same problems that FE Cliff had, as far as I can tell; his headlights hug his hips solidly and his abdominal armor splits his windshield effectively.

Cliff's head is pretty pointy and tapers like whoa, but also looks very



..so I can see what they're doing. The light-piping? Probably the most effective I've ever seen. His eyes are *always* lit up. the weird application of the silver paint for his face give the impression that his helmet goes over his eyes, sort of like Captain America's.

This is a great figure and if you're not rich or insane enough to get the original Classics Cliff, the FP set for the vehicle parts, and the Beezleboss set/WFC Cliff for the dome, then this is a perfectly suitable Cliffjumper for your display. His size is good, his head matches his chassis way better than the photos suggest, and the overall figure has loads of character. I'd thought that this figure could replace my FP-upgraded Cliff on the shelf; I'm not sure it will now, but it's not for lack of appeal. These are both awesome incarnations of Cliffjumper, perfect in their own ways. One is stupid-expensive and has to live on the shelf. This new Cliffjumper? He's just going to go everywhere with me for a while.

To sum it up: Definitely pull the trigger on this guy, he's the sleeper hit of this wave! I opted for him over Swerve and Springer, and I'm glad I did. In my opinion, Cliffjumper is the one figure in the GDO wave that really, truly feels like the G1 character.

Are they all coming at once, or are the going to stretch it out over a long period? I almost pulled the trigger on a purchase, but I couldn't justify the price. All these GDO figures I would gladly buy for stateside prices, but they're just not that "must have" to pay the extra to have them now. It doesn't help that I have figures of these characters already.

Thanks, everyone, for all the great pics!

Now, I'm quoting from the Wiki, and though it's pretty reliable, I don't want it to be misconstrued. It says they're all scheduled as a "huge block of TRU exclusives for the holiday season." So I'd wager all at once, since they all come one per the same case.

On another note, no Bumblebee whatsoever. Wooo!

That is my understanding as well, that they'll be all at once (although the case assortment for the deluxes in China is 3x Cliff, 1x Wheelie, 2x Springer, 2x Swerve)
