    Finally got SS Jazz and Lockdown.

    Both great figures, although my Jazz has some bizarre and random black paint on the top of his head, so probably gonna use rubbing alcohol to remove paint from the whole area and then redo it with a silver sharpie. No idea why it was there. Hips are slightly loose but not too bad, and now that I know the correct version of Pledge floor polish it shouldn’t be hard to fix!

    Lockdown is good too but vehicle mode doesn’t compact together that great and his articulation is slightly more hindered than I’d like

    Hey, I just wanted to give you a quick heads up. I just realized I put up the wrong pic of the floor polish up the other day. I don't know if the type of polish makes a difference or not, but I took a pic of the one I'm currently using, and changed the pic in my original post.

    This is it, and I hope I haven't caused you too much of an inconvenience.

    No you didn't. The one you picture now is an old package design.

    Is there any chance they'll include Sideways in the Studio Series sometime?

    Is the part of Jazz's head with the paint blemish clear plastic? If it is, don't use rubbing alcohol. Just sand it or paint over it, you don't want his head to shatter after finally finding him.

    It’s whichever product has the code #35*3597, right?


    Does rubbing alcohol ruin clear plastic? Didn’t know that; this is why I majored in physics in college instead of chemistry. Anyway, yes it’s the area right above the visor. If rubbing alcohol will damage it then yes I can take a silver sharpie and paint over it, so long as I do a few coats to prevent the black from peering out again. Still don’t even know why it’s there

    I just checked mine but didn't see code that looked like that. However @ArtimusPrime said that it's the same one, but the last pic I just put up is the old packaging, so you're good to go as long as it's pledge.

    RUbbing alcohol can ruin any plastic, But you can water it down and be ok.

    It’s possible but difficult to see because of Hasbro’s licensing issue with Audi. If we do get one there’s a high chance we’ll get a not-R8.

    Blue Hornet (or what ever he's called) showed up today. Wish he was just a touch smaller, but definetly does exactly what I was hoping he would.


    Since I'm sure someone will ask, Drift is a heavily custom painted really crappy KO (with the head off a hasbro one step changer- or what ever they were called). I bought the only one Sir Toys had, so he's probably pretty much one of a kind. Nice display piece, but a lose floppy mess and a lot uglier without the paint.

    Hot Rod is the TFevo Hot Fire everybody hates. After everything I've read, I'll probably never transform him- but as a display shelf Hot Rod, I think he's nothing less than stunning. I'm really glad I have him. He's actually why i got Blue Hornet.
