    I am sitting 1,5 feet away from Bee in my display and I do not even notice it that bad, tomorrow payment will be done on Cliffjumper.
    Still doubting to either get the MST Leaders or to finish up the MST mini bots in 1 time.

    Ah well. I suppose it works out - I've still got NA Bee v1 as my Bumblebee and he's slightly shorter than Cliffjumper. Was trying to get them to approx the same height but I can live with it if they're not. After all, in one of those early episodes, Bumblebee remarked "...since I'm the smallest..." He didn't say "...since I, along with Cliffjumper, am the smallest..." so I guess I can accept them not being exactly the same height.

    Gotta' say I'm still hating his face sculpt. I'm halfway tempted to try to do something about it but my 3d skills are only so-so. It'd take me way longer than is reasonable to sculpt a new head for him and I'd probably lose interest. Plus trying to match the color and finish once it's printed would be a pain.

    Maybe they could throw in alternate head in with another release like a Goldbug or Hubcap. MS heads are generally on pegs making swapping easy. And no body seems 100% thrilled judging from comments here and on Weibo. The highest praise tends to be "in person it is not as bad as I thought".

    I'm going back and forth on CJ. I really want a MS CJ, but with UM 2.0 and a possible OP 2.0 in the way I am thinking about skipping CJ and hoping for a better version in the future.

    One or two realities over. Preferably one where humanity hasn't been wiped out by the robot uprising or climate change.
    I guess an America under authoritarian dictator has crushed the free press and elections will work if I can still buy Chinese toys online.
    I'd miss those things, but a decent Cliffjumper!

    You forget the Combiners, save to say Bruticus is after Devastator (I hope).

    Oh. That would probably interfere with collecting a complete season one cast in legends scale.
    MS really needs a Blaster 2.0 to match Soundwave. Plus a set Autobot cassettes as good as Soundwave's would be pretty snazzy.

    Finally MS would have to get around to reissuing Prowl 2.0 with doors that say "Highway Patrol"

    I do not understand why they do not do a Blaster, they already have the files.
    Make it a bit better and taller, I agree on the tapes, as they should also make more for Soundwave.
    Make a Marvel comic Soundwave, nobody done that.

    It would be nice if MS would release a new head, same way that NA released a new set of legs for Megatron after everyone complained.

    He's a decent little figure, definitely on the lower end of the current releases when you consider Shockwave, Menasor, Datsun Bros, Megs, and Soundwave with tapes.

    Anyway, bring on the rest of the season 1 autobots, the current shelf is fairly bare.

    I'm so happy CJ arrived today. I spent most of the morning wrestling with Dead End and Drag Strip and playing around with this little dude was a welcome reprieve.

    I'm pretty happy with him, all in all.

    I dig the ms cliffjumper. I think he goes well with my v1 bb.

    I was going to get na but I feel they are all too small for my mostly ms collection of legends. I mean, sure he is a bit fiddly but these are all pretty cheap, small bots aimed at a wider audience. What do you expect for $25?

    Around here? I sometimes come away with the distinct impresson that for $25 an awful lot of people want MP44. The HasTak original, not a KO. With fixed knees.
