AM I the only one that dislikes Jazz' toy?

Post by Cliffjumper »

I mean, kudos on the alt mode, but then Ratchet's was great too... but his arms and waist bug me to hell... actually, me having a fair dislike of the character doesn't help...

Not sure why I like Jazz, but I do. Granted, he'd be cooler if his legs were more proportionate to his torso (like Prowl/Bluestreak/Smokescreen), but he's got a cool setup with the big old missile launcher and the cool-looking upper half. I think most people really like him because his car mode is great, as long as you don't break the roof. I like him because he was my first-ever TF, so nostalgia reasons may play into that as well...

I got a Takara re-issue a couple of months ago, and he's alright but not very sturdy.

What is it about the arms and waist that you don't like? I was quite happy with my re-issue figure.

Well, either he can look lik he's chuckling, or you get to mash up his tyres. And his waist is unecessarily complicated. He does have a hidden forklift truck mode, though....

Jazz isn't my favourite TF, but I don't think his toy is bad by any stretch.

I DID have the Pretender, but the kid I, uhm, "borrowed" it off wanted it back. :(
