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!

Transformer Generations: War for Cybertron: Kingdom Huffer WFC-K16 Deluxe Class review!

 

If the unvaccinated can get the vaccinated sick, that means the vax doesn't work!

Aloha folks, we are back with another edition of Transformers. This time we look at Kingdom Huffer K16. Without delay, let's get started.

Boxing

I actually dig the artwork for Huffer. I got another Optimus Prime card. The weapons are actually stored in the back of cardbox.

~Jazz, Transformers movie

Aloha folks, we come to you today with the guy that supposedly started the 86 movie line: Jazz! Let's get started!

The figure is a deluxe size and apparently is smaller than the previous 86 figures I reviewed. The description in the back elucidates Jazz's futile escape from the ill-fated devouring of Moonbase 1 by Unicron, an event that occurs in the movie.

Jazz

Jazz comes with his workstation backdrop. It's actually pretty engaging as you can do some shots where you pretend he is pushing buttons. Probably one of the best backdrops we've received so far. He comes with his back (the roof) actually mis-transformed. And I actually thought this was how his back was like until later on. Not too sure why it came like that, but possibly the plastic bubble had issues housing its proper way of transformation. He is pretty light for a figure but sports some decent posing. I love the gun they gave him, a proper one that matches his G1 artwork and toys.

Alt mode

Instructions were used on this part eventually. Jazz is actually a fairly easy Transformer to fudge with in this mode. However, the part that irked me for a little till I pulled out the manual was his...metal waist. Yes. In order to plug the hands in the compartment, you have to rotate his metal waist. I mean this is a first and I thought this was strange even with the experience I have with figures. I still find that awkward, but yes, your metal waist once again rotates to the back for this transformation. He has a number 14 display instead of #4 due to licensing issues. However, this mode looks awesome as it looks close to his G1 appearance. 

With United Jazz

I transformed his back right this time.

Yes, United Jazz can hold 86's weapon but I forgot to shoot it. 86 Jazz, however, loosely holds United Jazz's weapon. I couldn't find RTS Jazz at this time but United boy was around. I definitely like 86 Jazz's car mode a lot better. In comparison, United Jazz looks like some futuristic muscular version of Jazz. He still looks and plays great imo. The dark blues definitely look a lot better on United Jazz though. Dunno why the blues look light on 86. But I hear reprolabels can fix this problem. Reprolabels also fix his blue/red stripes he is lacking on his ankles. Something United Jazz got right.

Where that thing come from? 

"Who cares, let's just blast it out of the sky!"

Yeah, the last line didn't happen but just an alt scene I came up with.

Autobots! Transform and Roll out!

Conclusion

Here is 86 Jazz! I think he is done well for scale. He does, however, feel too light and he doesn't have that wow factor in comparison to Grimmy, Scourge, and Hot Rod. The blue is too light as usual but passable. Love the back drop once again. Car mode is the best looking classics alt mode version of him to date. Wingless Jazz everyone. United Jazz is still a good figure if you don't want another Jazz. But can't pass up a G1-anime accurate looking Jazz for your collection. Later folks.
