It's still a $19 toy masquerading as a Deluxe no matter how you try and justify it. But you like it, that's cool.

It's still a $19 toy masquerading as a Deluxe no matter how you try and justify it. But you like it, that's cool.
L-R: (using today's max RRPs)
Deluxe Classics Cliffjumper = $35
Deluxe Earthrise Cliffjumper = $35
Legends Titans Return* Bumblebee = $20

So you're saying that ER Cliffjumper should be sold for less than Legends Class Bumblebee? :confused: If that's what you think then that's fine, but I respectfully disagree. Cliffjumper may not be worth maximum RRP at $35, but at a discounted price like $29 I think he's fine. I suppose if you want to buy one for $19 just wait a few months and grab a loose one off the used toys market.

*Yes, I know it's the TakaraTOMY LG Bumble which was more expensive than TR Bumblebee as it came with the Titan Master yada yada, but you get the idea. :p
So yes he's small, but I this this figure is great-transformation is fun, car looks great and in robot mode he shines!!
Also the asscorry possibilities are a great touch! Because I bought Hoist and him at the same time I see they spread the 'volume' of materials across the wave so I'm less angry about the price.
My only gripe is that the 5mm post on the backpack/kibble piece is super hard to flip out after you've flipped it in for Vehicle mode... needed to wedge something in there to flip it back out again :S
I love him. Obviously, yes, he's very small for something that's allegedly a Deluxe. But you can see when he's next to that Legends Bumblebee that he's got a bit more going on than that tiny guy.
The "shield" accessory would annoy me if it didn't attach to the robot mode so... un-intrusively.
I don't mind the size at all, but I can't get past the partsforming so this is a miss for me unfortunately.
I can't make up my mind about Cliff. His car mode looks too much like my G1 Windcharger and I prefer the G1 cartoon stunted look. And the price is a little high. But his robot mode looks great. And the bazooka, fab!
*shameless plug* For anyone looking for a CHUG Cliffjumper with a compact car mode and no partsforming, I am currently selling my Classics/Gen Cliffjumper. :)
pro tip: Don't push the peg all the way back on the parts forming bit (the trunk of the car); mine gets stuck and i had a very difficult time getting it out using all sorts of things to wedge it out.
$29 for that size figure is ridiculous. I fail to see the value on any level.
The backpack seems to be a big deal so I’m surprised there’s no photos in the original post of what he looks like from behind with it attached and with it missing.
