Its nice, and remarkably accurate to his G1 TV show character. One for the Garage kit gods, and probably a jaw dropper once fully assembled. |

They do it the way it should be.
When you don't know what you want, you end up with a lot you don't.

Okay, cheap shot at Hasbro, but Jizaitoys really know how to put them to shame. If only they were more widely available. Can't wait to see how their Ironhide turns out. | |

It almost seemed suspicious, like Hasbro were getting ideas or something. | |

I always like the look of these but think that they also look a bit fragile. Either way I can't afford them and will stick with Universe Classics Series.

These figures look nice but unless you have kitbash or model skills they are useless, I had the assembled and painted version and it was like a floppy rag doll and the pins that hold the limbs on can break in an instance.
Nice if you have the time but dont be fooled by the pretty pictures. | |

I'll stick with Henkai Powerglide, he's G1 enough for me  | |

Nice if you have the time but dont be fooled by the pretty pictures. | Agreed. I can totally tell by the way people are drooling over these that have never actually OWNED a JizaiToy product.
They LOOK good but thats it. Period.
They are poorly engineered at best, floppy yes. Try keeping one transformed in either mode without it falling apart.
I own Cyclonus and Wheelie, both are nowhere near the quality of an actual Hasbro/Takara TF. They need some MAJOR design tweaking to even get them to that level.
If you want just a very expensive, not very poseable without falling apart(I suppose you could glue the joints solid to hold a pose), show piece than these are for you. Otherwise skip it.

#30 | | I voted for Super_Megatron and all I got was this stupid user title. Join Date: Sep 2003 Posts: 11,718 Location: Lansing Michigan Collection Count: 486 News Credits: 2 | I cant believe people are saying this is how hasbro should make their toys.
they would break. always. children could not touch them. the average collector would shatter them during transformation.
hasbro making toys like this would be the stupidest thing the company could ever do.
fine as a curiosity item, failure as a toy. which is fine, this isnt meant to be a toy. | |
