Oh, I neglected to mention that I did have one small criticism of the kit which is that the guns handles could have been a tad bigger so as to be a nice tight fit in CJ's hands. As is, they fit in their but are loose, which can make posing CJ a lil time consuming.

I've got the kit as well (which is awesome) and found the same thing. But I just put a little superglue around the upper part of the handle and let it dry and now the guns fit in snug as!

I gave BB the little pistol coz I figured he needs a little firepower.

Now the only problem I have is the other two faces stay in all that well. The normal one is fine though. It's a great idea to have interchangeable faces though.

Or some clear nail polish works as well.

The interchangeable faces are awesome.

Yeah, I'll probably do the nail polich if it starts to bug me, I'm ok with it for now though.

The interchangeable faces was a great little addition. Though I like the default face the best, it still adds an element of MP coolness, if you know what I mean.

Mine's $30 only... :grin:

Did you bribe the salesman? :-?

That's a more reasonable price.

On another note...

Super glue sounds like a turn off to me. Can't you just clip them or snap them parts in?

Nope! The Classic Cliffjumper Kit was originally priced at $30 before it was jacked up on ebay and other online stores... :shock:

Using super glue is just fine with me. It takes accuracy and skill to put them on, which is the fun when you have these Custom TFs. :grin:

You got a point.

But it's gonna make some shaky hands cry.

You can always seek assistance to those without "shaky" hands. :lol:

My next target is Classics ULTRA MAGNUS Upgrade Kit. No pre-order details yet... :-?
