This guy looks great. Simply great. I think my ONLY really negative with the repaints of this figure is that I'd wish they'd do something with the speakers. Do the speakers really work with all these repainted characters? Couldn't they have at least found one replacement patr to include with all the repaints they did?
Guys, please forgive my lack of knowledge/experience in getting special Transformers like this one . . . I've always only bought mine in a store off a shelf. Where could I order/find this one (Kick Off - that is), and how much should I expect to shell out for him?
Maybe a bit under $100 USD before shipping, say $90. That said, I got mine off ebay still sealed in the paired bag with SG G2 Optimus Prime for about $160 and shipped from Texas to Australia for about $15. You coult also try online retailers, and though I didn't look thoroughly into that option, on Big Bad Toy Store a few days ago, this pair was the first and at that point, only Botcon set to have sold out. That was a few days ago now though. Hopefully that helps.
I got mine yesterday but it had two left forearms. The person I bought it from had others but would not give me an exchange. Its a great figure but the second left forearm throws it off. hopefully the club can get me a right forearm.
I'm always glad to see charactors who weren't part of the 84/85 cast get some love. I'm even happier to see Action Master exclusive dudes get alt modes. I'm even happier when they use molds as awesome as rts Jazz, get a snazzy deco and give me more c clip Speakers (my fave c clip items thus far, one of these days I'm gonna hook a whole bunch of em to rts Lugnut). I loves me some Kick Off, his baggie was the second best of the exclusive sets this year, first being Junkions
wow, the pictures don't do him justice. I just got mine. This is a must get from all the Botcon figures. The deco is amazing.
Thanks so much AdamBman, I had a feeling it would be up there and unfortunately out of my price range at the moment . . . My best friend overseas (Czech) had the action master Kick Off when we were kids, then it slowly fell apart, until he had one no more, but just last year for Christmas I was able to send him a complete one from ebaY. When I saw this thread, I thought tat would be so cool if I could get this Kick Off for him . . . we'll see, I'll keep searching for one I might be able afford down the road.
I would love to see a repaint using the Treadshot head as Dead End... that'd go great with the Clubs G1 Breakdown, and Universe Dragstrip... then Hasbro just needs to release a black Rodimus as Wildrider and i'd be nearly set... yeah, i would've loved to see those remolded somehow too, but i'd rather get the new head instead... I just try to mix it up... Treadshot gets the speakers on the weapon, as does Stepper, while KickOff and Jazz get the regular weapon, and the speakers tucked away. oh lame, give them a call, see if they can help you out with that. if that's the case, then just lie... say you picked it up at the show, and just need a replacement arm and get it sorted out... I don't think they took information for general admission peoples, so just lie and get it fixed... I've been playing with this toy since i left the con, he's so fantastic looking, and i just love the mold... so glad I picked up 3 versions of this mold at Botcon... wish I had grabbed United Jazz as well, but now i'll have to track one down...
