G1 1984 Jazz toy review! All that Jazz! Jazz comparisons with United, Reveal the Shield, and 86 Studio Series.

 Thank you to Heath, my brother from another mother in Washington state. This is an exclusive quick look and review on the original Jazz mold. 

1984 Jazz G1 style! Robot and alt mode

G1 Jazz, die-cast and all. This is a 2nd hand figure plus he was very loose, stickers peeling and all, but I'm not really complaining and this guy is the original Jazz of all Jazzes. You can start to see some yellowing behind his legs otherwise the paint everywhere else is still a decent finish. His alt mode looks fantastic and easy to transform. It took the 86 studio series line to match that and it pales simply because that line is missing decals and some paint. This is 84 where you had heavy plastic (metal), decals, and metallic finish guns and missiles. Speaking of missiles, the launcher came broken so I couldn't attach it on his shoulder. On the last pic in this category, I just had it sitting on his right shoulder. The spring works well though... a little too well. 

Because this is 84 Jazz, he doesn't do much posing. I remember them as blocky toys that, well, was Transformers back in the day and that was it. 

All that Jazz

Take your pic. I included United Stepper in this pic simply because he was the same mold as RTS and United Jazz (Meister). The United Jazz paint job is still amazing after all these years. I really disliked how Hasbro used a pre-yellow paint job on the RTS version though. 

Conclusion:

I'm going to leave it here. If anything, this was more of a comparison of the Jazz figures I owned. It was nice to see how this all started. 84 Jazz really looks impressive for his time and you can still see the influence he gave to his future self figures. Thank you Heath once again and I'll see you folks later. 

If you support mandates, you are garbage!
