    Pretty cool looking head. But I'll probably buy Venkstas version (if he doesn't abandon that idea now).
    The guns look good, they would probably look great if they were darker like FP Cliffs guns are.

    Yeah a solid red version of Cliffjumper from the classic bumblebee mold.
    Then maybe Venksta would do a Throttlebot Chase head for it!
    That would be great!
    Well at least I can dream.

    I agree on the guns paint deficiency XD

    Man, I bought the FP set for $30 when it came out and I'll tell you that so far this set looks WAY better. They color molded the plastic and the sculpt looks much sharper and I'll bet the guns handle pegs fit snug in those hands and is made of a higher density plastic that actually holds paint without it chipping off when you transform it. I transformed CJ wit hthe upgrades ONCE and the paint flaked off the horn on his head with my finger. The rest followed and my CJ is undisplayable with the FP head now XD OH! and let's not forget that the hood scoop replacements cracked as well. Not their finest moment and I REALLY hate saying that as a long time customer.

    Yeah it was just $30 and I'm not going to knock FP's work after that set but let's just say I'm glad I only paid $30 in the end D:

    This is exactly the CJ head I've been wanting. If I miss out on this one, I'm going to be throwing things.

    This looks good - I picked up a Cliffjumper figure at a boot sale for 25p, I've been hoping for another reasonably priced kit to come along, and this fits the bill nicely :)

    I'm one of those people who missed out on the FansProject kit, but man now its too expensive if this set is less price I'll be tempted to buy it...maybe. Still its looks cool, so does the FansProject version as well.

    If anything, I'm surprised that someone is putting this out NOW. How long has it been since Classics Cliffjumper left retail?

    I never did get the FP kit and this kit looks good. If the price is right and the quality is there, I'll bite. I can't display poor Cliffy on my shelves looking like Bee got drenched by buckets of red and silver paint...:)

    I'm excited for this, I missed FP's release, so this is an instant purchase.

    I do like FP's rocket launcher better. But still Very cool!

    Wait, is that the final product or prototype? I hope that's not the final colors for the weapons.

    I dig it but my only crit is that it needs more parts other then guns and a new head.

    If I had the tech I'd try and design other replacement parts such as body panels so that you could re-shell CJ into a more boxy car.... saying that my first mission would be to give Jazz an epic injection of 911 style with a new rear end and front headlight set up

    interested in seeing the pricing on these guys, hell i commend them for putting a lot of effort into the box and presentation. I would totally buy this just for the novelty and not even to use the parts. any TF so heavily branded as a satanic warrior is hilarious, awesome, and maybe even slightly disturbing.

    just comparing the face and weapons, the FP set was so much more win. how much was the bootleg singapore resin cast going for? if this is priced lower than those it should do alright.

    edit in, taking a closer look at the face the details/style just ain't there. FP has always been capable at giving faces a distinct cool look. this ones got a feminine face that looks too smooth and asian (not being racist, i'm asian too)

    Yeah, I imagine those are aren't painted? But the head is fully painted so...wonder why they'd show a finished head and unfinished guns. Maybe those are the final colors?

    Looks like we'll have to paint the guns.

    This is not the kit I was hoping for.

    Oh well. The head looks pretty good.

    It's a shame that another company has to blatantly rip off one of Fansproject's ideas.
