    Can you display Human Alliance Jazz ripped in two with his spine dangling out? (holds up palms like "I believe I've proven my point")

    lol, a good point but there has to be some other good things about MPM-9 other than the spine.

    I don't have MPM-9 yet, but I hope to replace my HA Jazz with it or a KO eventually. It's got better paint, better sculpted details, better robot mode proportions, and a better weapon, and it scales better with the other MPMs.

    MPM-9 is leaps and bounds better than Human Alliance. More articulated, much more screen-accurate, better accessories. They’re both great toys but MPM-9 is the clear winner in my book.

    At the same price? Although HA Jazz was a rare end-of-liner. Any idea what his price hit back in the days?

    It was, but it was shoehorned into the HTFD or whatever an end-of-liner. More showed up at TJMaxx than at regular retail so I remember it fetching a pretty price in the aftermarkets. I sold my extra one on the forums to a military man at cost so I have no idea how high the price ultimately climbed.

    EDIT: Just googled it. For the people who were able to find it at TJ Maxx it was $17 back in 2011 and those people were usually able to find multiple (i.e. 3 or more per store). Others were not able to find any at all. Unclear if it was luck of the draw other clearing them out.

    EDIT2: I'm pretty sure I saw a review somewhere that compared the two. Maybe it was a video review?

    OK. Point taken. I like the HA jazz car mode better but the MPM robot mode has much more detail. I should think about getting the MPM jazz.

    I loved HA Jazz when I owned him, but MPM Jazz is one of the few MPMs to have impressed me without caveats and maybe the best Transformer I've bought in years. Reminds me of the glory days of ~2010, so much fun to transform and completely looks the part.
