    I hate that Jazz's arms. You can tell the door panels are going to end up on the bottom when they're bent instead of the side. I really don't get why mecha designers design a sideways elbow joint that leaves the shield, or in this case doors, on the back of the arm instead of the side.

    If he has the same articulation as Drift it will be a moot point. The articulation on Drift allows you to rotate the lower two thirds of his forearms so that his arm fins are either on the outsides of his forearms or underneath them.

    So you'll likely be able to do something similar with Jazz.

    For reference:

    That's a relief. I seriously hate kibble on the backs of the arms. Gundam models do it all the time and it's insanely unnatural and stupid-looking. With a shield or weapon on the side of the arm it's easy to pose the arm in a natural way so said thing is on top, but if you have to rotate the arm 180 degrees it not only looks like shit but usually means the elbow will bend and droop. (looking at you MG Kyrios with your stupid clip-on shield)

    I'm guessing that the doors might be able to moved to where his wings may be too. But yeah, I'm betting it'll be like Drift here. :)

    Those proportions on The Fallen are really off.

    Does anyone else feel like the Fallen is a remold of Tarn?
    I was going to get out of this line after Bomber Megatron, but I must now have Victory Leo, and JAZZ.
    Curious to see what there seeker design will look like.
    Hot Rod is an easy pass, and the Furai action line is to over stylized anime for me.

    Let's please not start the Windblade drama again. It is a stylized model kit, end it there.

    Really, really hope their are different configurations for Rodimus' fin (and his head as well). The fin is just waaaaaaaaaay to much. I figured he was an instant buy, but if I can't tone that fine down some I probably won't get him (not for what these things cost). I was so excited they were doing Rodimus.

    Breaking news: Japanese design team designs collectible figure of female character the same way they do all female characters, irregardless of what the guys on a transformers website think of it. Those who aren’t particularly annoyed obviously despise women, and must have told the Japanese company to make the figure that way. More at 11.

    Ive been waiting for her since late 2018 and when we got an update on her earlier this year people bullied flame toys into pulling the pics down
    What people do with their toys on their private time doesnt concern you people :rolleyes:  (I dont do any of the weird stuff just saying it because it really doesnt concern people what people do with their own stuff)

    Without running it into the ground, I thought of another way to put it.

    I like my Rodimus to have a fin.

    I feel like i’m Buying a fin here that comes with a Rodimus.

    I don't know nor do I care what anyone does with their toys, it's your money use it how you want to. All i know is, if the design does end up changing, I probably won't be seeing many of you discussing future flame toys figures in these threads and I'm totally fine with that.

    Gundam Jazz is pretty neat, the arm mounted doors are an interesting look for him.

    The more I see of that Primal design the more I'm digging it...Probably will never be able to afford the figure...But I dig it.

    Turns out I was wrong. I think the stuff they have on display was all the stuff in the reveals. Unless they have more reveals planned for the con (I think it runs from 24th-28th)

    Edit: I think there will be more reveals, cos they've got the 'mysterious silhouette'
