Jazz is borderline terrible. He is proof that Hasbro isn't even trying anymore. Yeah, you pay through the nose for 3rd party stuff, I get that, but dang, at least FP and Maketoys stuff is SOLID.

Some of the Giant bots are hollow in spots. Even hollow, they have more weight, more solidity than Jazz. And these 3rd partiers require more money because it costs them more to produce a much smaller run of figures.

Hasbro has more resources. More money. Do a smaller run, cut down on the paint apps that are useless, work on the ones that are needed, and give us a respectable figure.

It's not about making ends meet, for Hasbro.
It's not about cutting costs because the cost of everything went up.
It's about making the most money with the least possible amount of work. It's a cash grab and they're not even trying to hide it. I mean, the figures speak for themselves. The quality has gone DOWN.

DOWN.

Filler or not, there's no good reason for these toys to be so cheap feeling. CHEAP.

And Jazz's design wasn't all that good either. United was awesome but FoC? :sad:

I agree with Kibble more and more. I just watched Optibotimus' review for SDCC Bruticus and that thing is horrible.

It needs thicker plastic, better engineering and a Voyager Class Onslaught.

WTH, Hasbro?!

By the look of what the current toy aisles look like, I'd have thought that meant "Bumblebee's Shelves" :lol:

I have to agree with what others have posted here in saying that this FOC line has left a lot to be desired. I had such high hopes myself when they were 1st announced, but now that I have them in hand it is just too much to ignore how poor of an effort these figures are.

I admit that I have SDCC 2012 Bruticus that I scored on HTS.com, and I have Ops Jazz and Shockwave that I scored at Target.
I am not getting anymore of these as orders based on pictures or video though. I am going to wait for the Voyagers to hit shelves and then decide if I will get anymore FOC figures.

I have to admit I want Voyager Grimlock so far, and I will just have to see about the others.

Kids are gonna want. Parents are gonna buy. Toys are gonna break. Parents ain't gonna care. Kids will want more. Parents are gonna buy more. Repeat cycle.

Not going to affect Hasbro at all. Just the fanboys. >:oP

Not always true. I know parents who bought their kids toys and when they broke, they never replaced them because the first one was "pure junk" and "Why would I waste more money to do that again?"

Most don't, but some do. We need more of the some dos.
