i actually prefer the longer hinge, it allows for the arm mod (not so much a mod as a different transform). The arm mod allows the arms to look much cooler, and not so much 2 pieces of hood with nothing between em.
My Feedback!

That toy should have come in two pieces. Then it would REALLY have been a Final Battle Jazz figure.

I just got one a few days ago.. and now i think it was a bad idea.. I just dont like his look. If I do open him believe me he'll be able to split apart!

"No, I don't think its big enough!", I said, "Another few hundred more and I'm set".

All he'd have to do is swap out the connector and use the orignal arms as is. But I agree that I don't see it as being too big of an improvemnt.

This is my first Jazz figure. I was looking forward to it since I saw the first packaging photos. Decent figure but not one of the better deluxes. The alt mode is sleek and done well. The robot mode is okay. The automorph is suttle and simple, not as mindblowing as others. The arms are the worst part of the figure. The elbow articulation is weird and its confusing to tell how they are exactly supposed to be configured. Ball joints would have been preferrable for the shoulders to the hinges used. I was expecting a range of motion comparable to Barricade, but this is not the case. The hindered knee articulation bothers me too. The sculpted battle damage is done well, and its a nice touch that Hasbro went as far as to sculpt an all new visor that is battle damaged too. I bought this version mainly because of the movie accurate gun. The gun does not dissapoint, I'm a big fan of the sniper rifle mode. If you want a movie accurate Jazz, get this one, but don't expect it to be as good as Bumblebee 77(don't have the new one yet), Barricade, Dreadwing, Wreckage, or Dropkick. The arms and hindered knees hurt the figure, had these been designed differently, he would be one of the best deluxes.

got him and longarm today, and decided to use them as test subjects in my experiment to see what the heck keeping figs sealed is all about.

bot- lemme get him out, k. wll, there goes the MISB value. the gun is rather bamboozling. i don't min#d the chunky legs, and the arms aren't that bad. i'm glad i got this, and credit is due to the review on collection dx not being overly harsh on jazz. it is a shame that the hands had to be scrunched up in the 3 digit fist, but understandable.

tf- the arms are just tricky to squese past the roof, but not hard in themselves thankfully. the feet discs worry me though.

car- it is a wonderful choice of car. the gun is nicer here, but not enough to redeem it sadly. so jazz is off to join the hippys. the badly matched silver really jarrs though.

overall, this is a simple fig for simple people. i would reccomend that you check out colectiondx's review however, to see if you like him first.

Anyone know what the extra hinge and peg on the gun are for? I can't seem to connect it to any of the holes on the figure.

What was the arm mod again? I never paid attention to it when it was all the rage, and now that I'm looking into getting a Jazz, it's vanished without a trace.

Has anyone tried splitting final battle Jazz in two? Real talk. Even tho Jazz is my fave character I kinda want a Jazz that Leader megs can rip in two. I guess I love torturing myself.
