they would make a jazz classics already! instead of the little legend toy (which looks really cool might i add) but i mean come on....i think he deserves it...
If you don't mind the animated style, Jazz from that line is a very good representation of the character using modern toy designing IMO.
i LOVE the animated style. i just want one that will fit in with the other classics. it is what is stopping me from buying them.
I heard that they will when there are no more Animated Jazz at retail. Hasbro said that they will not sell 2 of the same character at the same time that look similar. They have a Classics Ratchet in the works but are waiting till Animated Ratchet are no longer in retail. So they will just give it time.
You have several options: 1. Botcon '08 Jazz: Expensive, difficult to transform, and somewhat off-balance, but this is the closest thing to a proper Classics Jazz we will probably ever get. 2. Universe 2 Legends Jazz: Tiny and not particularly articulated, but cheap and G1-accurate. The challenge here is finding a reason for Jazz to be shrunken in your personal continuity. 3. Movie Target G1 Jazz: The color scheme is correct, the size is appropriate, and the articulation is OK, but his visual aesthetic is somewhat different. It doesn't take as much imagination to place him in the universe as G1 Jazz, but he still doesn't quite fit.
Prowl isn't breaking the rule, as he and his Universe Classics counterpart look nothing alike. That and a Classics Jazz isn't impossible, it's just that we'll have to wait a little longer because of the Animated one. After that one's completely gone from shelves we'll have the opportunity to get a Classics version. Last time I checked he was one of the bots on the list of characters Hasbro wanted to do for the line. As for the Legends class figure, it has no bearing on any possible larger figure in the same line, so no worries regarding that one. Also, the Botcon Jazz has no bearing on any possible Classics Jazz, as it isn't meant to be a "Classics" Jazz.
If a Classics Jazz (in a Deluxe-ish size) happens at all, it's not gonna be soon. There's various other options out there though at least.
Bear in mind also that we are getting a Legends Hound AND a Dlx Hound, so it is not beyond the realms of possibility.
I know what you mean. There once was a time when a repaint like Botcon 08 Jazz would have sufficed, but the existence of Classiverse changed all that, unfortunately.
