Yeah, the legs untab on mine as well when I put him into vehicle mode. The clipped wheels are a bit of a drag, too. My figure just does not want to roll properly. The color scheme is too much blue and white with no silver and black like Jazz is supposed to have. He's an okay figure, but hopefully the Sideswipe retool is a bit better. I am NOT picking up Prime as he is shorter than WFC Bumblebee, and while I don't exactly demand that all my figures be in scale, that is not good. So odd that Soundwave is getting a voyager figure in this line and Prime is not. Not yet anyways.

I need help with his head.

The blue level holding Jazz's head in the figure does not seem to go higher than I see in other people's pictures or the official ones. Even in the box it isn't that low (I can see it in my MIB one), but I have no idea how to lift it back up. Every time I fiddle with it, it feels like it'll snap off. No tabs in the arms or legs problems for me. Just that, and when in alt-form, the tab on the top sticks up (the white tab holding that blue level).

Any suggestions?

I saw this figure at the store, and not very impressed, the lack of color and white milky plastic and fragile tabs just are not very attractive. The gun is kinda small and the face sculpt looks like Ben Stiller. Easy pass for me unless the JP release is an improvement.

Honestly, I think he's pretty cool. I really like how he has blue instead of black. Love his alt mode too.

I mean counting screws? Weighing toys? Whats the point? Either you enjoy what you get for the price or you don't. The best weigh to vote is with your dollar. If you keep buying the toys there really is no point in complaining
a few people not buying wont outweigh the masses. it makes no difference what so ever in this situation.
people are complaining because its been made easy for them to do so. the toys themselves are not justifying the asking prices anymore (even with inflation in mind). i dont think people are trying to find new ways to complain, the issues are just right there in your face and unavoidable now.

anyways, i got this guy the other day....meh
that's all i can say. i want to like it more then i really do, but i just dont like it very much. if there was a little more care taken in paint apps my opinion might change but as it is im not going out of my way to bust out paints just to make it look nice.

they should start marketing transformers as DIY model kits from now on (since they all come apart now anyways), that way if you end up with a crappy figure the only one to blame is you and any complaint about design choices can be counter with "what did you expect, its a model!"

Got him a few days ago. Bot mode is sweet, and I was surprised to find that his feet do indeed pivot, if only back. His transformation is pretty fiddly, as the arms really hold the whole thing together. His alt mode, however, is a disappointment. Unless I'm doing something wrong (And I hope that I am), his legs stick out really far and prevent rolling. Plus, that white head panel doesn't sit flush, so his alt mode really only looks good if the gun's plugged in.

Picked him up the other day. I won't say I'm disappointed in him but hes not as good as the other figures in the wave.

In fact he feels like he's from another line entirely. Different plastic quality and different construction with his joints and whatnot. At least the vehicle is cool. Hoping that sideswipe turns out better

if your FOC Jazz doesn't look right or hold together in vehicle mode, it's because you're doing it wrong.

Surprised by how much I like him. IMO Prime is the worst figure in the wave...but part of that was because he had a better figure from the previous game and one can't help but compare the two.
