    TZeta Toys Jazzy looks a LOT like Coolsville. Does anyone know if there is a relationship between the two. Are there any video reviews of Jazzy anywhere?

    Zeta were Toyworld's design team and didn't get paid for a number of their designs. They broke off and took their designs with them. One being Coolsville. These are being re released as Zeta Ex with lower price points and some improvements.

    So far, Toyworld only seem to have the Constructor mould but they say they're going to continue putting out new things. Only time will tell

    That's because Jazzy IS Coolsville. It's also an improved Coolsville in terms of some added paint apps and I think a Shiny visor that isn't clear.

    I read this thread's title in Jerry Seinfeld's voice. That's all I wanted to share.

    Thanks. I tried for ten or fifteen seconds to find the answer online, but decided to ask here instead of doing anything remotely like work.

    Also, I WROTE the title in Seinfeld's voice. So you guys are not delusional.

    My Zeta Jazzy literally self-destructed on the shelf last night. I reached up to get him and I barely touched him when he completely fell apart at the waist. His upper torso tumbled off the shelf, I tried to grab it mid-air (failed to grasp it), fell on the carpet where his right door broke. I'm really bummed about this happening as I really liked this guy! Anyway, I lack the know-how in fixing the door so rather than dumping him in the trash, he's up for sale. I got him new for $65 and I don't know what to price him for since I really don't sell broken toys. Bear in mind he's got a lot of die-cast so shipping will cost you. US only. Not going outside of Lower 48. DN me if interested. Pic of the poor fella is below. Waist looks like it can be put back together fine. Legs seem okay. Hands are folded inside. Box included. I can't find his instructions.

    It’s important to note that the story about zeta being mistreated is one sided. Zeta could have easily made it up so they could get outside sympathy and attention to get better sales for their figures.

    And 90% of what they make now is repaints rather than new figures, so they don’t seem to be making many new designs anyways. How exactly are we supposed to believe them when they say they made all of those other figures?

    Man, I agree with your opinion 90% of the time, but this is 10%.
    They are making new stuffs. Zeta Superion, Zeta Bruticus. Now under another name they are releasing Raiden.

    Zeta and superion were made a while ago, as was raiden. The last actual new designs from them were a movie bumblebee, a blitzwing that’s yet to release, and unicron. Otherwise it’s all repaints.

    But this already beat 90% 3P companies' record.
    The only other company release more is probably FT, or BMB (if you count the KOs). :)
