it is a common practice. there are additional panel lines or surface detail on some figures so a FRANKENFIRE can be spotted by an expert who knows all the versions. Ideally you want all your parts to be from the same respective version.
Popping out that landing gear was the equivalent of sticking your hand in a gator's mouth. You had to be mindful and quick. This was probably the only toy I had, outside of that Operation game, that I was terrified to play with.
If you don't know what that landing gear will do to a thumb, you truly never really played with a Jetfire. That is the first thing I think of when Jetfire or macross Valkyrie
Thank you for showing Jetfire. I definitely had this guy back in 85. My dad had got this for me for Christmas, and I played with it every day until it fell apart on me. Definitely my favorite when I was a kid.
I just dug mine out of storage for the first time since about 1988. It still looks amazing. This was always one of my favorite Transformers. Thanks for this video.
I got one of these complete, with original box and styrofoam insert, a couple months ago. Only has a couple of yellow spots. Another Grail accomplished. Excellent review.
My roommate almost got me one of these at a flea market. He picked it up instantly knowing I would want it because it was in amazing shape. The guy whose table it was rudely took it out of his hands and started trying to explain what it was as if my friend didn't know. He immediately tried to open the cockpit and dropped it on the ground and it broke. Then he seriously said "I guess you're probably not going to want that now huh?"
I remember picking one up at a yard sale in maybe 89 or 90...very happy find for a couple bucks...kinda overshadowed, literally and figuratively, the new TFs I got for Christmas that year
Ah, the humble Super Valkyri-... Oh, wait... Yeah, this is a very good figure. And it's why the Matchbox Valkyrie couldn't transform. Also, a fun suggestion for going down the Jetfire/ Skyfire rabbit hole: Get yourself your drink of preference. Every time Harmony Gold is mentioned, take a drink.
Easily the best Generation One figure…and the second one Mommy got me. To this day, I’ll never figure how she found it. I didn’t even know it existed since it hit store shelves before the character debuted. Finding another one is what got me going down the rabbit hole after she passed. Somehow I ended up with 3! Great video! #CopingMechanism
Iconic is a great way to describe the Jetfire toy, I had a pal who had this bot in the 80s and I always wanted, but could never find him in stores. Also, I absolutely got into Robotech, and then naturally got into Macross. This figure was always on the "Want List". Fast Forward to the early 2010s, my local comic store had one of these sitting in the display case. It did not have the armor or hand cannon, bot barely yellowed, but it was in great condition joint wise. Did a little haggling and finally got a Jetfire. You are 100% correct about the armor pieces being difficult to find in good condition. The small tabs always seem to be broken everytime I spot them, or cost a "lotta dolla". I ended up getting a 3D printed armor set, but found the original Jetfire cannon in a random lot of toys on ebay. Cant wait to see how your Jetfire looks with the Toyhax stickers.
Thanks for the video Prime. I love the toy, both from my love of Transformers and Robotech. I actually have a very old print of Jetfire on glass that I won in the early 90s.
Dude I officially hate you bro, Jetfire was hands down my absolute favorite Transformer growing up. If been dying to get my hands on a decent one for a while now. Awesome bot brother!!
@@PatriotPrimeReviews lol, awesome bot bro, he looks good, seems like his in pretty sweet condition. I'd honestly be perfectly happy with just the bot and his rifle. Everyone I find for a fair price is either completely yellowed or broken in some way, or both. My goal for TF-CON this year is to leave with a nice Jetfire!!!
If it hadn't been for the copyright issues, I wish this figure had been used for Megatron. Just give him a more menacing coat of paint and it would make for the perfect Decepticon leader.
One of the best G1 toys. I had one that had the Macross marking on the wing. He was missing an arm and all the armor pieces but otherwise in really good shape. Stolen by a "friend" a few years ago. At least the guy was dumb enough to leave the tail fin assembly behind, so he probably didn't get too much for it. I hope whoever ended up with it is enjoying it.
Don't know if you knew but those with the Macross decals on the wing were numbered and are the most expensive ones. I saw one about a year ago complete in its box in prestige condition for $6,000 on ebay.
@@ERICK4431 Yeah I'm sadly aware of the cost of the early release Jetfire. I take comfort in the knowledge that this guy was an idiot. He once shoved a price guide in my face to "prove" that the Claremont/Lee X-Men #1 was worth thousands. He probably got ripped off by a "friend" of his rather than pawn it on eBay.
Jetfire has always been a favorite. Despite the legal issues, a ton of his toy releases have always been fun. Love me the Siege and Classics mold. This is also WAY out there since it’s non-hasbro but did you ever see Macross VF-1S God of Flame figure by Kitzconcept LTD? Long story short: they made an official 7 inch macross product but in Jetfire G1 Toy colors. No clue how it is in hand but just something interesting to look at.
Ah, I miss my old Jetfire toy..I used to play with it so much the leg joints were starting to come apart, and then I lost it in a move. :-/ My headcanon was always that Jetfire and Skyfire were two different people, for whatever reason. One minor detail, that may differ depending on the production run of the toy...the one I had, at least, that points back to Jetfire's origins as a Macross item (which I didn't know at the time I got him..for some reason, I never lived in an area that broadcast Robotech, though I was very much a Transformers watcher), but embossed into a few parts, notably the legs, you can find the UN Spacy delta logo still.
My twin cousins got this guy first before my brother and I and our Barbie loving sister...we were so jealous. And we knew we had to share ours, the cousins both got one each...watch out for the landing gear.
You did a fantastic restoration, he looks pristine. I can both see why cartoon accuracy focused collectors might not like this guy, and why toy enthusiasts would love this toy. It's an amazing 80's piece of nostalgia, we don't have good fun stuff like this guy anymore. Amazing review PPR, great work!
I found my Jetfire complete with the armor and rifle clip at a toy show a few years back for $100. I couldn't buy him fast enough. After looking at so very many in much worse condition for twice as much, that find ended that grail search immediately.
I hqd Jetfire when I was a kid, and it was a nice toy, but I was disappointed it didn't look like Skyfire in the cartoon. I didn't play with him much, since I didn't have any attachment to the Jetfire character.
...huh. I've had Jetfire for years and years now and I never knew you could fold his hands in. Heck, I've had him stripped down to pieces to whiten him and I still didn't get that. Thanks for the info =D
Hopefully we could get this design in some form in Legacy or whatever 2026+ lines will be called. I know T30 exist but I don't know if I want to track that one.
I used my Jetfire more as a Veritech than I did as a Transformer. Harmony Gold kept Sunbow from using this form as Jetfire on the show and Hasbro kept HG from impprting the other decos and types (Jetfire is the VF-1S, other head sculpts were the VF-1A, VF-S, Super-O and Elint Seeker). I did pick these up when they were re-released by Bandai in 2001. (I also picked up the Super-O and Elint Seeker along with the Armor for the Armored Battloid that was seen in one episode of Macross/Robotech. For some reason these have never been repopped.) Because of the legal issues I was aldo bummed Skyfire disappeated from the show and also thatbwe never had a toy representbative of Skyfire. The Seige released fixed that so now I have my set of Valkyries from Robotech (plus my Jetfire AND a proper Skyfire and everything is right with the world!! I did get a set of stickers for my replacement for my childhood Jetfire (which is now painted like Max's VF-1A). The example I got was so nice I didn't want to mess with it so I have a set of stickers if you still need them.
I didn't have this guy as a kid, but I did end up with him right after high school, along with the Dinobots, Omega Supreme, and several other G1 figures that my cousin sold me for $30 just to get the box out of his way, sonce he had quit collecting toys and was getting rid of his stuff... My Jetfire is in slightly worse condition than yours, partly due to yellowing, looseness, and a crushed cockpit... unfortunately, mine IS missing all of his armor bits and the gun mount piece. (But I'm planning to eventually get those from Destron Designs...) As for the cockpit and possibly some other adjustments that may be needed, my buddy has 2 Jetfire figures and said that if I can do the work to fix his Jetfire up with parts from his extra, he's happy to let me use his extra for the parts I need to fix mine... and as far as I can tell, we don't require any of the same parts to fix BOTH figures, so that's going to be a nice repair opportunity. I'll probably also whiten both of our repaired Jetfire figures and get the Toyhax decals for both of us, just as a thank you to my friend's generosity. I always wanted this guy as a kid, but my parents couldn't get me everything, so I was just happy with what they could afford. When my cousin sold me that box of figures, it was like a Transformers dream come true, lol.😅 Flash forward to the Thrilling 30 Jetfire that my wife got me... I love that figure too, even though Hasbro made it feel like a cheap KO toy with all the hollowness and lightweight plastic, glossed over with metallic red vac metal jets, which I didn't care for at all... I did some work on mine and removed the red chrome crap, and repainted them... Flattened up 2 or 3 packs of lead fishing line weights, and used them to pack inside the gaps, then hot glued them to prevent shifting, and plugged them with the gap filler upgrades... Then applied the awesome Toyhax decals to put the final touches on the figure...! Bad boy doesn't feel dollar store KO cheap anymore, lol! He's got some legitimate heft to him now, and looks G1/G3 awesome. When the Commander class Jetfire came along, the upgraded Thrilling 30 Jetfire became my "Skyfire"...
Funny story, I wanted Thrust for my birthday because I loved the VTOL design, and even circled him in the catalog I gave my grandparents. Come my birthday....they had got me Jetfire instead, I was disappointed at first, until I started playing with him. My Autobots highly outnumbered my Decepticons.
I was lucky enough to have a G1 Jetfire as a kid. But at some point, I decided he'd look cool if I spray painted him black. Then I thought he'd look even cooler if I gave him some green camo. That's the main reason I'm so happy to have the Siege version, I will take good care of this one and the only added details are (of course) the ToyHax decals. TL;DR, I ruined my G1 Jetfire by painting him.
Everyone says that the gun clip can be used to the bottom of the plane. I have yet to see this. I know that in the Macross/Robotech cartoon that the plane had this feature, but I can't get it to work and have never seen a picture of it working like this. I'm honestly unsure if I just don't know how to attach mine or if it's some kind of urban myth.
Nice . Its really a macross or robotech toy. I have it with out the jets . But i do have the special edition of robotech smaller and have all te parts. Both shows i do like
@@PatriotPrimeReviews i know. But never will a remake come from this toy. Its the license problem. And if you look for a replacement well. Its the only way for the macross or robotech version . Model. 1/72 VF-1S God Of Flame Its the jetfire model color Its special edition make speciale for it
Are there two attachment points for the thrusters? I seem to remember you could mount them like you have them in the video, but you would also attach them to where they were farther back on that center connector
i always wanted jetfire as a kid. but i never got him. that is something i never understand when i was younger. why did the cartoon use the name jetfire & the comic's use the name skyfire it like wtf.
I hate the metallic red on it. Also it's not a true 1:1 deco on it. The closest we're going to get to an actual Jetfire custom scheme is a KO 1/60 scale. I'm excited for it and can't wait to get it when it's finally released (hopefully this month or the next). It'll definitely be way better than KC.
Didn’t have Jetfire when I was a kid, but I had a friend who did and loved its articulation, weight, _massive_ number of accessories and clickiness. In my 10 year old mind - in terms of “Homer Simpson boxes hobos and pays for car washes”, GoBots were the basic manual wash, Super GoBots were Premium, Transformers (standard) were Ultra Deluxe, and Jetfire was the Mega Tycoon car wash. 🤖💰🤑🧼🫧🤘
I didn't mention this in the Intro because the Intro is long enough;
This Jetfire was Frankensteined together from 3 Jetfires to create this beauty.
it is a common practice. there are additional panel lines or surface detail on some figures so a FRANKENFIRE can be spotted by an expert who knows all the versions. Ideally you want all your parts to be from the same respective version.
Finding one of these in good to great condition is a miracle in itself. You did a great job restoring it.
I see, I might go through a similar thing with my own Trailbreaker and Jazz figures, and that might not be easy for me to do.
Easily one of the best examples of G1 Jetfire. Looks incredible.
@@havanowoncheese True, had it not been for Takara's and Bandai's extreme rivalry, then Jetfire would've looked this way in the Sunbow cartoon also.
Great review! Thanks for the shout out! Till all are one!
Popping out that landing gear was the equivalent of sticking your hand in a gator's mouth. You had to be mindful and quick. This was probably the only toy I had, outside of that Operation game, that I was terrified to play with.
That so brings back memories, and my thumb would remember and throb from it, Ouch, LOL.
If you don't know what that landing gear will do to a thumb, you truly never really played with a Jetfire. That is the first thing I think of when Jetfire or macross Valkyrie
For me, it was getting his fists in and out. I lacked the thumb strength to move them without a tool or teeth.
I remember using a pen cap to pop the landing gears. Lol
Thank you for showing Jetfire. I definitely had this guy back in 85. My dad had got this for me for Christmas, and I played with it every day until it fell apart on me. Definitely my favorite when I was a kid.
That figure is my unicorn. Its my most sought out figure of all time.
I can find vf1’s from this era for good prices
I just dug mine out of storage for the first time since about 1988. It still looks amazing. This was always one of my favorite Transformers. Thanks for this video.
That is awesome!
I'm glad i'm not the only one who got their fingers bashed by the landing gear.
I still think of Robotech and Rick Hunter's original fighter >.>
Robotech is an abomination and harmony gold has literally funded slavery. Macross is far superior
I got one of these complete, with original box and styrofoam insert, a couple months ago. Only has a couple of yellow spots.
Another Grail accomplished.
Excellent review.

Dear Lord...that sucks.
Nice! Getting this toy back in the day is firmly etched in my memory. Mine even has the Macross insignia on the wing!
Keep wanting to see a series where Skyfire is able to convert his friend Starscream to the Autobots.
What a coincidence! I'm in the process of restoring a JetFire I've had in my collection for a few years now.
I remember picking one up at a yard sale in maybe 89 or 90...very happy find for a couple bucks...kinda overshadowed, literally and figuratively, the new TFs I got for Christmas that year
One of my all-time favourite Transformers! 😊
Nice review!
Destron Designs does have 3D resin replacement 'gun clips' as well as the armour pieces. Not to mention a snazzy flight stand.
You're so brave lol. Flipping out landing gear and clipping clips. Thank you for risking the full armored transformation to show us all.
I was nervous the whole time.
Ah, the humble Super Valkyri-... Oh, wait... Yeah, this is a very good figure. And it's why the Matchbox Valkyrie couldn't transform. Also, a fun suggestion for going down the Jetfire/ Skyfire rabbit hole: Get yourself your drink of preference. Every time Harmony Gold is mentioned, take a drink.
Notice I didn't mention them?
@@PatriotPrimeReviews Probably for the best. Harmony Gold loves to lawsuit everything remotely related to Macross/Robotech.
Still one of my all-time favorites.
Love Rodimus Primal's explanation for what happened
Me too, that's why I linked it.
I wanted to focus more on the figure than the history.
Rodimus did a great job explaining that.
Thanks, Patriot. One of the best toys of the 80's.
No doubt!
Easily the best Generation One figure…and the second one Mommy got me. To this day, I’ll never figure how she found it.

its funny that the autobots just hold on to the outside of him in your clips.
Mine is faded. Missing an arm. But has most of the stickers and the boosters on his back. Got him in OTASCO in 1985.

man, spring-loaded die-cast landing gear. three things that Hasbro doesn't do anymore in one

Looks exactly like the Bandai VF-1S Super Valkyrie, but smaller. Love that design!
It is the same size, just has the red/black bands behind the cockpit reversed.
It IS the Valkyrie toy.
Hopefully we could get this design in some form in Legacy or whatever 2026+ lines will be called. I know T30 exist but I don't know if I want to track that one.

The snap on red parts arent armor. They're a rocket backpack and vernier rockets (with fuel tanks) to maneuver in space.

Seems TopGun Maverick borrowed some engineering from G1 Jetfire
it is part of the step by step transformation to drop your figure down, lol
