$1,000 on eBay right now.

I keep hearing talk of an optional gun arm for this guy, but so far I haven't seen it. Or does the blaster confuse people?

I've seen the gun arm, it's not confusion.

Hopefully this thing keeps selling for ridiculous prices...that way it'll be KOed in no time. I want the Shackwave/blast configuration, though.

Unfortunately the fans who get to go to the class are given sprues that are already colored appropriately from the factory. As in they don't start from a RTS Jazz from scratch, but rather pieces that are likely purple and light grey. I bet most of the time in the class is spent nailing in pins which is quite the pain!

And still I fail to understand why they call it a "customising" class.

Because if they called it a "3rd world toy factory worker simulator" attendance would be pretty low.

geez, I wonder if I could buy some jazz's and make some customs and ask for 200 bucks.

Heck, could hope that CHMS does their own take on the mold and cranks one out at $40, but all that'd accomplish is having people yell profusely at how it was inferior and hurt the collector base. :\

It's a gun tip on a ball joint. There was a guy selling it and the Shockwave head on eBay just recently.

...9-5? The class is a full 8 hours??

Actually, a few of us were there until after 8 p.m. And then I still had to come back the next day, find a corner out of the way, and finish the toy. Altogether, I'd say I spent 13 hours on the toy.

I don't know what it was about the Jazz mold, but this sucker was a pain to put together. One major issue was they sent pins instead of screws for the shoulders. One of the people helping in the class had to take a power drill to each person's figure to get the pins to go in. Unfortunately, the pins were then too loose on mine to stay in.

For those saying it isn't really a customization, that may be true. The idea of the class is to let the person get a little bit of experience with fitting parts together, learning what goes where, and how to paint the toys. In that sense, it's mainly for beginners to learn about what it takes to customize a toy.

The problem is that this figure has now become a super-exclusive. So about 90% of the first day's class were repeat enrollees. How many were there for the class, and how many were there for the figure? FunPub really needs to figure out a way to make this figure available to everybody, so that seats in the class open up to those who have never been in it before.

Or offer the toy as the free attendee toy, only as the custom class version there could be exclusive parts\colors\stickers etc...
