Doors are overrated.

Jazz is where it’s at.

…

No one? Nothing? Nobody got that?

Okay then, moving on.

Jazz here came in a lot of Transformers and various other figures. Sadly, he didn’t have his weapons and one door. For the price I paid for him though, I shouldn’t complain.

Robot mode

Jazz is bringing that G1 charm. He’s got that cool retro vibe that companies are trying to recapture nowadays. Nah bro, just reissue the good stuff from back then. Hasbro’s got it right.

Jazz is one of more show accurate G1 figures. He doesn’t look like he walked off the screen but he’s definitely recognisable. He’s about as posable as an average G1 Transformer though. He’s only got articulation in the arms. Everything else is static.

Vehicle mode

Porsches seem to be becoming more popular recently. The newer models seem to be popping up in toy shops and real life roads everywhere. It’s nice to have vintage Porsche in hand. Even if it’s missing a door. The car mode obviously looks great. It’s very painted well and is very convincing.

For playability, Jazz has rolls on four rubber wheels. Man, those are nice. Also, his doors open. Well, door in my case. Jazz was originally a Diaclone figure so I thought he would have a place for Microman figures and a detailed cockpit. But I guess not.

Closing

Man, I wish I had his other door. The missing gun and rocket launcher don’t bug me so much but the missing door does.

I might try something different with this. I may try fabricating a door myself or 3D print one. Anyway, I’ll get a complete G1 Jazz at some point.

PS: I tried calling him Meister in the review but it felt dirty so I gave up. Also, I kept typing Pontiac instead of Porsche. I wonder why…
