Your in hand pics make the normal color schemes seem more appealing than the stock photos. Any chance you have a mainline TF deluxe to put next to the Tri-Jetters for size comparison? I prefer that shadow scheme, but I like the face sculpt on the normal one more, and yeah... the price increase isn't a +1 in favor of.
Lots of Tri-jetter pics on tag Hobby, this came as a surprise. Don't recall this being mentioned or shown before. [試玩報告] DIACLONE DA-42 TRIVERS TRIJETER | Taghobby.com
His machine mode is very reminiscent of the pre-tf power dasher / attack robo trifecta series. If he really is a modern representation of "jet type/ sky dasher" I'm really happy the character head sculpt isn't a clown or ICP McFarlane head. Edit: I thought Jumpstarters were from the same series, my bad. They were the Attack Robos.
I just wish the black version with masked face was the standard release. Would've gone better with Battle Buffalo and Diabattles Red Lightning. Still, looking forward to Tri-Jetter.
Bought. So surprised it even showed up for sale for that, the ims hasn't existed for a while that I've seen.
Good for you bud, looks like they may have only had the one in stock. I just couldn't justify it because I finally bought the Hero Color version about a month ago after giving up hope that I'd find a reasonably priced one.
Some Trijetter combos I found on Twitter. The wing bits are more modular than I thought which is a pleasant surprise! Simply leaving the nosecone unfolded improves the look of the robot mode a lot in my opinion:
Just got mine too. Couldn't put it down and had lots of fun with it! The retro bubble head takes some getting used to, but It’s a pretty rad toy. I love its manual mode and the “battlemech” mode. Claws on mine lock in place when deployed with friction but loose on the right hand when it is kept. Also the shoulder connectors to the torso are just a tad loose and wobbly unlike on the dia-battles. Will see if I can fix it with a layer of nail polish to get the snug fit.
Nice, I’ve got the buffalo coming from bbts, and the big powered destroyer, alpha mech, and female dia-nauts coming from chosen prime. I’m only missing the moon base Buffalo now.
