Kaneana Cave hike (Upper Makua Caves) 4-20-21

 This is one my last hiking posts on this page since all my travels and hikes have been re-directed to another blog. I felt this had to be here only because for years I wanted to do it and now I did it this year. Should had been on this blog a long time ago. Just for old times. Some pics.

Key is to stay busy. These are just the tip of the iceberg I'm sharing from my past year in the island of Oahu. Capturing sunsets, sunrises, and other adventures all over the island. I work 3 12 hr night shifts/ a week, still make time to go on these adventures, relax and eat with friends and family, and still find time to do some Transformer photography. I pay rent also to help my father and mother. No time to be lazy or hatin. I do my best not to beat a dead horse. 

I know there is that someone who looks at my blog periodically and just wants to stay angry at me and that is fine. That is also your choice. I moved on a long time ago. Whatever you do is not my business nor do I care.  

More adventures to come. Take care folks and thank you Jesus for making this all possible.  

Prophecy 1864 Things of the Future - Aguilera

Felt like I needed to share this. Do you see what's happening today?

The Lord fights for me.

 Every time I am reminded to fight back or defend my honor.

The Lord will fight for you, And you shall hold your peace.

A lion will not have to tell you it's a lion

Nor does the Lion concern himself with the opinions of a sheep.

Someone else's Opinion of you does not have to become your reality.

Transformers Studio Series 86 01 Transformers the Movie Jazz review! Transformers Toys Studio Series 86-01 Deluxe Class The The Movie 1986 Autobot Jazz

The mask was not normal yesterday, it won't be tomorrow.

                       We're about to send out the shuttle. Any Decepticon shenanigans in your area? 

~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. 

Cliffjumper commence countdown

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.
