    Love how they even got the red details on his knee pads painted in. They didn't even do that with Strongarm but man they gave Drift the full treatment with paint apps.

    Looks good, but I already painted my copy of the mold myself most of those details.

    This thing looks so much better than the Hasbro release it's unreal. Will probably be picking him up.

    It looks far superior to the Hasbro version. Why can't Hasbro do this?

    Glad I passed on the Hasbro one. Even the injection mold colors look better here.

    Wow, my 4 year old loves his Drift and finally can transform him on his own, but they is a great paint job, I noticed yesterday how much better the car mode looked, but the robot mode? AMAZING!

    Ah...the wonders that a little paint from Takara can do. It can turn a so-so figure into a good one & make a good one into something awesome. Why Hasbro won't spare a few cents and a few drops of paint, to make us happy and ensure our brand loyalty, I just don't get.

    (Unfortunately, there are some molds even Takara magic can't save.)

    Even though this line isn't that good. I might just get Takara Drift. They nailed him.

    I'm loving the paint apps and extra details. I bet Jazz RID2015 will look sick! I got all the first waves takara adventure line so.I.may just get this. It probably wouldn't be too hard to paint marker in some of this detail but there's nothing like a takara paint job I have to agree

    He looks beautiful.

    I hope one day he gets a retool with Jetstorm and Slipstream attached.
