    If someone wants a Deluxe Jazz, they may as well stick with the Reveal the Shield toy. This Jazz looks pretty poor in comparison.

    Sideswipe looks good except for the massive arm panels.
    Jazz looks like a white Bumblebee.
    Both make me glad I don't collect this line.

    I MIGHT get Jazz, just because he's my favorite childhood character and collect his figures, but aside from that. Meh.

    Sideswipe may be salvageable... with some mods...

    Looks like we can unscrew the doors (from the forearms) and peg into the backpack...

    And I wonder if we can rotate his lower leg kibble down to give him a thicker foot / more stability (like we did for TFP deluxe Vehicon)...

    Jazz is terrible IMO.

    No kidding. These new molds sure make me appreciate just how good the CHUG figures really were.

    It's a shame, because I like the new designs (halfway between Prime and Animated) but these figures just look cheap and inferior in every way. I'm still holding out hope for one proper figure of that awesome Optimus design.

    Its partyly because the mold itself looks cheaper and inferior, but mostly its a lack of paint. Sideswipe looks okay because of the black plastic on his vehicle mode breaking up the red. Jazz doesn't has that. Just wheels, windows. and a bare minimum paint job. There's still a whole lot of white. I expect a custom painted Jazz to look decent though.

    Like Sideswipe, but not feeling Jazz unfortunately. Just looks too bland. Interested in seeing what the Takara decos will look like.

    Normally I wouldn't hesitate to get a Jazz because he's my second-favorite Autobot, but I'm having a hard time being even mildly enthusiastic about this one. Just giving him his trademark visor would've helped. Will probably get it just because I have every other incarnation of Jazz (except the laser cycle) but it'll be reluctantly.
    Sideswipe looks okay but I'm not a fan of the head sculpt. Honestly I think Drift has set the bar too high for RiD Deluxes :lol

    Blaaaah..they look so damn cool. I want 'em. I know Jazz looks plain as shit but Reprolabels did a number on RtS Jazz, making it look so much better, so I expect good things from them here.

    Well, there's more money to put towards Masterpiece and Classics. I'm sure small children like these toys, but I am not in their demographic.

    Sideswipe looks like the stronger of the two, solid looking bot mode. Not sure if worth full price though.
