Encore Jazz Released in Japan

Uh, does the face still have that weird smirk, or did TakaraTomy resculpt it?

Weren't we supposed to get a free cassette TF with this release?

Excelent, can't wait to receive mine from HobbyLink Japan!

About Buzzsaw or Laserbeak not included, I'm not surprised. It didn't even make that much sense...

Looks really nice i may have to get one!

I just noticed that the stickers over the rear fender flare are applied. Weren't those on the sticker sheet on the original G1 release or was this one opened and the stickers applied? I would assume the latter, but this MISB auction proves otherwise:

i read?? they were tampoed on, that could be a good thing as due to the curved surface the stickers tend to crease and fold a bit.

The box hasn't been opened yet. Those particular stickers come already applied just like the original along with the decal on the hood and doors.

I wonder what the sticker sheet inside looks like on the Encore release. I would not mind an extra set of those stickers to apply on my G1 figure.

Hmm, maybe it's painted, just like the side stripes on Encore Ironhide and Ratchet.

This is my Diaclone version of Jazz...even though he is transformed, you can sort of tell that there are no stickers on his fender. So maybe they are painted nowadays.
