Glad you liked them :) I was awake a long time the other day taking pics and finishing the editing :lol: >:oP
Was trying to think what scale people wanted to see and what else I could take pics with. It went from a small picture post to a full on review! :-B

I ordered the last Takara FE Cliffjumper from BBTS based on this review.

Thanks a lot :D Glad everyone liked it. I've not done many reviews properly like this, just normally comments somewhere. But then again how often does the UK get a chance to! :shock:

As much as it has it's flaws and the FE version is better in a lot of ways. I'm really warming to this guy. So much so that I may keep 1 for myself instead of trading it. Once you have it and start playing it's still a really great figure. 8)

So all I'm saying is if you don't have a Cliffjumper and can get this at a good price then it's worth looking at. The few cool things can outweigh some of the bad things.. But also get a First Edition too :KREMZEEK:

Thanks so much for the comparison! I had originally been planning to get the RID version, since I thought the proportions looked better, but now I can see that compared with the FE one, it looks rather crappy and tiny. I also greatly prefer the flip-out guns of the FE one to the hammer thing of the RID one.

I was really looking forward to this one. But I have to agree with the sentiment that it does look really cheap. from the knarly face to the over long arms and the hollow legs, it's got a bit too much against it for me. shame really. :BANG_HEAD: At least I have the FE one. oh well, at least that saves me some money

I ordered the FE figure of ebay along with the rest of wave 1 and now I am deffinatley glad with my decision. The first edition doesn't have fake parts (apart from the wheels above his knees), the headlights and the roof in robot mode are actually the headlights and the roof. Unlike the RID.

Thanks for the pics Azrail! I'm now really happy with my choice of shelling out the dough for the FE deluxe

Here's my confusion:
I understand the new design being one they might want to go with because it might be cheaper to make, but they already made the molds for the First Edition (which, in my opinions, looks WORLDS BETTER). Molds are not cheap, especially ones meant to withstand significant production runs, and these two don't look like they share any common pieces.
Why invest in the first molds for the superior product, and then make brand new molds for a second one, so soon, even if that run might be a bit cheaper?

I suppose with the hollow back legs and arms it does share similar features to a KO.
