    FREAKING GEEK!!!! Have you noticed (at least on my end), how the painted die-cast "appears" to match his arms and legs. In my opinion anyway, his chest (body) matches greatly. Anyhoo still an awesome review, keep up the great work.

      Yes. The colour mismatch, altho counterintuitive, is actually accurate to the cartoon. Now whether that's a good thing is up to subjective preference

    The issue with the gap mentioned at 16:38 also happens on my copy. I think this was a small oversight. I had the missile removed and the gap still showed I believe.

    The off-color white on the diecast chest is just a reference to the yellowing chest on the G1 toy. Yeah, that's it! See, I saved it.
    I wish they'd done what they did with RP Soundwave and given optional G1 toy style head/attachment parts, I want that to be A Thing that 3P and Hastak themselves do for MP level figures.

    The only FT that didn’t come with the QC sticker and the folding bar on the leg was installed backwards. Thankfully I was able to fix it before breaking it by accident trying to convert. Clean figure all around. Also have that cockpit gap issue, but those tabs in the back are pretty shallow.

      Don't give up! They reissue and update the older ones all the time, and there's a lot of different stores out there, I'd avoid eBay as they scalp like crazy, but, if you have no choice.😂 Anyway, patience pays off in Transformer collecting. Rushing to buy an expensive figure, only for a slightly cheaper, and better version, to appear a month later happens all the time. Research pays off. Good luck out there. 👍

    • @shirokuro73

      I got both Jive and Phantasm, and yeah I find the Jive transformation a bit of a needlessly complicated nightmare. Also one of my Jive’s legs was misassembled out of the box. Thankfully I was able to fix it by taking apart and re-assembling the leg. But while both Jive and Phantasm look incredible in both modes (IMO), the issues I had with Jive put Phantasm in top place for me.

    The incorrect colours are my main issue with this. Really took the shine off when I unboxed it. Neither is really white though. One is (an accurate) powder blue, while the other is an (inaccurate) pearlescent grey. No idea what FT was thinking with the latter. Annoying, as they got the shade of blue spot on. Chroming the missile was also dumb (I also scratched mine), especially when the promo shots had it the same colour as the gun, which it is in the toon.
    Love the alternate head though, and the silhouette is great. Maybe half a head too short compared to Jive and the mainline MP scale, but not terrible. If not for those colours this would have been a home run. Thanks for another enjoyable review.

    I have this figure and the MMC version as well. I wish that MMC had the same build quality with its current design. The MMC one looks great, but a little too fiddley. The FansToys is built really well, but too bland. Just need to merge the two together and we’d have a perfect figure.

      I love the idea of the figure and FT’s take, however the unevenness of the white, and the limited head turn made me pass on this one. I stuck with my TE. I love everything about it except the weak spoiler and the maneuvering of it sliding on the pin.
      That said, I have picked up a lot of FT’s items, and normally happy with their product, but felt a bit let down by this one. But Outrider, and Jive are my recent acquisitions. Looking forward to Parkour and Bandit.

    @FOCS27 Год назад

    Hey Emgo, 2:10 Mirage's chest isn't actually the same colour as those light-bluish parts on the sides of his torso, that's actually accurate to his cartoon character model, not a flaw of the painted diecast. Only his arms, chest, thighs and the striping for his vehicle mode are white, the other parts that aren't blue or black are like a bluish-grey colour on his character model to simulate the chrome parts of the G1 toy. These bluish-grey parts also often look purplish-blue in the cartoon, just due to degraded masters and such used for the home media releases.
    If you ever want to see what these colours looked like in their prime on the original character models, before all of the degrading and aging, there's a guy who goes by "DM" on The Allspark forums who has done a ton of research into this stuff to make the most 100% accurate G1 models you can find on the internet. Someone from the Dragon Ball fandom also purchased original Toei colour chips (these were used as a reference to match up paint colours as they were mixed when the animators were painting animation cels) and scanned and digitized the colours, giving us a little over half of Toei Animation & Marvel Productions' paint colours used in the 80s and 90s. This was one of the many sources DM had used to recreate these models accurately.

    • @MentasmUK

      Yeah, and they're meant to be white (like the TE, MMC etc), but they aren't white on Phantasm. They're the same kind of pearlescent grey used on Acoustic Wave. They should be the same colour as the Citanes livery. How do you get such an iconic colour scheme wrong?
