Igear's Stinger (not-Bumblebee) and Rocky (not-Cliffjumper)

[necr0blivion]

WHOA! Was not expecting that announcement. So I guess we're not limited to the initial 8 molds iGear teased awhile back for the mini-bots they'll release.

However, that larger, unique Cliffjumper mold needs to go back on the table for release.

CJ looks cool not really fussed about Bee that head does not look right imo.

Not impressed.

What happened?

These were iGear's bread and butter for the foreseeable future and the last 4 revels have been weak at best.

Guys, go back to the drawing board.
ALL of these can be improved.

Brawn and Cosmos were great!
Not perfect (but then what is?) but still really nice versions of the characters.

Gears and Beachcomber look to be the same standard as Brawn and Cosmos, but none of the new four seem to be up to the same standards.

At this point I'm just looking for Wheelie, and only then because he is the only Wheelie in that size class.

Meh.

Not interested. I like my Classics Cliffjumper and it took me a long time to find the Bumblebee I wanted for my shelf, so I'm in no hurry to replace them with these guys.

HOWEVER should they do a Glyph/Tap-Out repaint, I'm so in.

The first Classics BB is still for me. Really, this is the better size for him, but I'm not looking to shell out for it just because it's the better size. It's also beter proportioned by the looks of it. Cliffy looks good, but I already have GDO Cliffy and he's doing the job well in my eyes.

At first I didn't like these, but I think they are growing on me.

Bee's torso looks fat, but it looks to be a homage to the original g1 toys with a lot of the design decisions. Cliff Jumper looks perfect.

Ugh...I didn't want to like these...i already have the classics, and one would hope MP versions will come out someday?

Maybe this will force Takara's hand for MP-20 ???? Furthermore, what are the chances BBTS/others don't carry it because it is too close to the G1 design (i.e. Quakewave and Hegemon)?

Depending on how much CJ is and how he scales with classics BB, I may pick him up. Not crazy about their BB though.

[rpetras]

Their Bee might work if they fixed that god-awful head.

The CJ doesn't look too bad, but does it look better than Classics CJ?
