    It's definitely a more humanoid / realistic face sculpt for sure. As for the rest of the official... If we're going down the comical route...

    The mostly clear plastic figure slathered in their shoddy paint work scratches if you look at it wrong. I hope the rumors are true and they scrapped it because Porsche didn't wanna license the chibi alt mode. Just looking at the mainline movie toy coming out shows Porsche wanted the alt mode a near perfect recreation, although that could be doctored photos for publication.

    I can't wait for my Parkour and his inevitable Bee counterpart from FT, but since I'm locked in with my BBB pre-order, I'll be one of the last to get it... Letting others get it in hand first can be a blessing sometimes, I'll let y'all figure out the problematic areas first.

    Compared to his grey arms, yes very white!

    Not a fan of the painted clear plastic, but all in all he looks good.
    Wouldn't be FansToys if they didn't post a video of their new figure that already has paint chipping, and a tire that's halfway off the rim with the ski attached.

    Why are there so many different shades of red on that poor car?

    So Cliffjumper is also a hobbit? The music had me confused yet entertained. They better do an Alpha Trion and name it Gandalf.

    FansToys doesn't have time to get the colors to match. The doors don't seem to match -- that's a big surface -- but have to see if it's actually the case in person.

    I didn't spot the green QC sticker. Maybe this failed QC. :p

    It's to be consistent with the many different shades of orange on Rig.

    Probably the best MP Cliffjumper we've seen so far but, as with the other FT minibots, I'm considering home more of a placeholder until something better comes along.

    The videos are made with the final Test Shots but without the last minute paint changes.
    It already happened with Mirage and Jazz for example.

    Looks good, especially for the size.

    You’re correct. It’s obviously light grey in all the outdoor footage.

    FT never do themselves any favours with their brutally bright photos. I bet they leave their TV on torch mode as well.
