Never bought Space Case, but Terradive's not bad. Far from the "best jet transformer ever" though. Duel Gundam, from the MSIA action figure line.
The real question, does Terradive fit into classics for people? I never bought it and was late to the game on Spacecase because of that question, but may still try to grab one. Is everyone displaying him with Classics?
For classics, Space Case is definitely the way to go, since its an update of a pre-existing character. I'd say that in terms of overall aesthetics, it fits with classics better than voyager Bludgeon or Sea Spray, and I'm cool with those two as well.
BOTH. They're both amazing and it is a spectacular mold. I like the clear on Space Case and the mold suits him very well. Terradive is just plain awesome with a great head sculpt.
shit, they could kill two birds with one stone and give him the real-world black color of the jet he's based off (the name escapes me) and maybe a new head and make him a movie black shadow.
I chose Terradive because technically he reminds me of a tiger or more specifically Cheetor with his orange and black paint scheme.For me Spacecase never really looked that good,and yes I seen him 3 or 4 times at Target but I had 0% interest in getting him.I think it was that weird head of his I didn't like most,like a bug or something. Now as for me I wouldn't say the mold was the best jet ever,I think ROTF Voyager Mindwipe is,he has absolutely zero alt mode kibble underneath,unlike Terradive,but as for him he is pretty nice with his pitchfork.So that's how I see it.
My Space Case's hips aren't the best in the world, if he's on an excessively smooth surface he'll slowly start to do the splits, but that's about it. Anyhoo, Space Case. I love the colors, and the G2 homage. I do like Terradive's head more, and might sign up for TFCC just to get Depth Charge.
I bought both for my son but haven't opened either one yet. He is only 4 and the Deluxes and Voyagers are still too complicated for him transform. We are sticking with Cyberverse figures for right now. I'm looking forward to opening them in a few years!
spacecase for me. hated terradive, but loved what they did with spacecase's transparency, headscultp, colors, etc. just a much better figure imo.
EXTREMELY subjective, I can think of about five better jet molds. But to answer your question, I'd say neither for me, but go with whatever you like.
