Movie Cliffjumper worth it as a repaint?

Post by SimonMK »

I really don't know if I want to buy it, I like Bumblebee 08 mold and I like repaint when they are well done. Is there actually a difference beside the red paint instead of the yellow?

bought it yesterday. the paint job makes it look cheap, and it's limbs fall of at random points of attempted transformation.....so it sucks. imo.

but on the upside, i bought it from the new forbidden planet in southampton, second biggest in england. it's good and nice and stuff. :)

See that right there? That's a great clue if anything else is different. Straight up repaints have NOTHING different about them.

A remold of this toy will be out... eventually... with a new head and colors scheme.

Yeah, Premium BB and Stealth BB both have remolded heads. The Premium looks especially cool with a much improved paint app and brighter colors than the regular Concept BB.

I don't yet have Cliffjumper, but I am actively looking for him and will definitely pick one up when I find him. I personally think the red looks awesome on the mold. Although, I think they could've given him a completely different head. It would have gone a long way to differentiate him from BB.

I ended up skipping out on him since I don't really like the feel of the '08 BB mold, which is a shame since he was my favorite character. I'm tempted by Stealth BB because he looks good, but I think I'll end up passing.

Oh no, your not folling me with that one this time. That blood was murder to get out the carpet.

If you like it (the Cliffjumper that is, not murder) go for it.

Actually movie Cliffjumper is remolded. But only a little.

It has the changes that Takara made to the mold for their release of it. The tabs that hold the front part of the rear fender in place in car mode. Premium BB and stealth BB will probably both have it too.
