    Meanwhile, I was super unlucky. Mine not only is misaligned as hell, but the head socket is so loose that it falls off the neck balljoint if you so much as breathe on it. Gonna have to use a hell of a lot of future floor polish to get the friction into an acceptable state. And then there's still the head itself and the concerns about breakage. Oh well, at least the yellow mismatch didn't end up looking nearly as bad in real life as I was worried it would be. And he's another addition to my Lost Light Mutineers, so I guess it's not a total loss?

    (Can you imagine if they'd actually charged 29 dollars for this thing due to the included battlemaster? As if he hadn't already gone over badly, between the choice of mold and poor QC.)

    Here's a pic BTW. The paint does go a bit low on his right side, makes it look a little more wonky, bit if you pay attention to the top it's basically flush. 20220106_203606.jpg
    The right side jutting forward just a little is hard to get a photo of. It's honestly more noticeable on the back of the head than the front, yet still not an issue really.

    Agreed - Rad should be one of the ER Datsuns (ideally modified to remove the door wings, but whatever), but if we needed to squeeze more out of the Jazz mold, I feel like Kick-Off would be a great choice

    Ok as water under the bridge. I just checked amazon and the regional locks are now gone! What was so special about Jackpot that even RK could not sell him?

    Just saw the Toyhax set for Jackpot and this figure went from ehhh whatever to bought on the spot. Just bought the figure on Amazon and the sticker set will come out of the next paycheck

    Does Jackpot have a tendency to crumble or explode like Jazz does?

    I actually got rid of an unwanted tree in my yard by strapping jazz and Jackpot to it. The resulting explosion left a 20 foot crater that I need to fill in.

    I haven't had issues with either of them. Just be careful with the clear parts and they'll be fine.

    My Jackpot has no cracks in the windshield, and I've transformed him a shit-ton, so I'm pretty sure they fixed the stress issue in the windshield that caused it to break so easily.

    I have 4 copies of the mold, all of which i've disassembled, customized, and put back together without any issues. You should be fine as long as you don't throw a nuke at it.

    I think the problem with this figure is the face.

    I know this is a dead issue and all(was this ever discussed and resolved?) but what the Ef was the reason for this not being sold at Amazon and even RobotKIngdom? For the former, it is now available.

    Also, did manage to get one and had to paint his chin due to the same issue of misalignment.

    Huh? It definitely was sold on Amazon. It's still available.
