Oh man, I read that this wave was going to be a limited release. I hope I find one... I want this mould most out of the whole TFP line.
When are these out here?
It isn't confirmed if we are getting the limited edition "first edition" (wave 0) figures at all, but we are getting our first Prime toys in March, which may just be wave 1... Since Bumblebee (and possibly Cliffjumper) is in both Wave 0 and 1, the other Wave 0 figures are likely to be re-released in the general release waves later.
Email Hasbro Australia for more details, because they don't seem to be answering my queries anymore.
This may have been noticed by others already, but I only just did yesterday...
As bizarre as it this sounds, but it looks like the Cliffjumper being released in Wave 1 is a totally new mould. For a character that is only in a couple
episodes, we have a Legion toy and two Deluxe toys... but the question is, why have two different Deluxe toys, when one would do (for a
non-maincast character).
So this is the Wave 0 "First Edition" Cliffjumper
(note the chest isn't split, and the wheels are on the lower arms)

Then we have the Wave 1 Cliffjumper, shown at NYCC as being released in March
(note the split chest, and wheels on the shoulders)

Finally, in wave 2 or 3 we have the Zombie/Terrorcon Cliffjumber, which uses the "First Edition" mould.

I know it isn't unusual for Hasbro to release multiple moulds of the one character in successive waves (just look at Bumblebee in Dlx & Legion
class for DotM), but this just seems like a waste of resources (and a toy-scalper's dream). They could have given us a whole new
character/mould in Wave 1 instead of a second Cliffjumper mould.
And if the limited edition "First Edition" Cliffjumper won't be released later in a non-Zombie deco (because Hasbro has the 2nd mould for the full line), it
will make the "First Edition" version a rare & expensive figure to chase up.
Although, I just noticed that the tfwiki claims that both decos of the first mould (regular and zombie) are part of the "First Edition" release, so maybe
that mould is not being released in the full line at all.
+1 to that. Poor cliffy has had a raw deal the past few years.Quote:

Meh, I'm happy to just get the "regular" Cliffjumper Deluxe toy and pick up the "Terrorcon" repaint of the First Edition mould.
Most MechTech holes use retractable pegs that fill up the holes, which I think is pretty neat. No gaping holes plus the play value of mounting weapons on the vehicle. :)Quote:
