Jizai Toys engineering skills are AMAZING!

 

But that said, his products have way too many parts to be a mass release...

 

Children would be dropping dead left and right! ^-^

 

As for the argument that Powerglide's G1 colors are unrealistic and therefore innappropriate:

1) it's a god damned toy!

2) Starscream and Skywarp aren't military standard issue either...

3) it's a god damned toy! Hasbro can do whatever the f u c k they want! :tfevil

 

Personally as a child I would have been more interested in a red plane than a silver or white one (red is my fav color...)

I have the Cyclonus and Wheelie figs but there is a snag with them:

 

- They are VERY hard to assemble and you need to paint some parts if you want them to look great.

 

- They sell out in about 5 minutes AS SOON as the conventions opens (before even the regular shoppers can get in)

 

- They require additional generic Gundam model kit parts, most notably via ball joints etc.

 

- You cannot buy assembled versions.

 

- Rumour has it there are hong-kong knockoffs of these kits as fullt assembled toys at a fraction of the price.

 

I only got in becuase my mate knew a secret entrance to the venue and posed as a stall holder...

Nice representations of the G1 characters, but I prefer my Classics/Universe TYVM.

Several Wheelie & Cyclonus ended up on Ebay fully assembled and the quality was excellent (for resin kits) according to reviews.

You're kidding, right?

Me? No.

The entire from half of the plane looks just flat out awful. G1 Powerglide was a more convincing A-10.

What's a from half?

Who gives a sh*t about Powerglide and Wheelie? :tdown

... front half. That's just an impressive typo, right there.

Wow... just perfect. :tfevil

 

In all seriousness that is the most level-headed thing I've ever read.

you know for all the hate these characters get I think most of it is unearned and is really down to people just jumping on the band wagon. personally I find all the hot shot types far worse at least Wheelie and Powerglide had character even if they were just bit part players
