JP93 is bad, really bad. Everything about it feels like a Transformers knockoff sold at Big Lots or Walgreens.

Tyrannocon Rex is a straight repaint of BW Megatron with a new head, if you like that figure you'll have no problem with this version. JP93 is where most of my issues lie. As of right now, this is an entirely new figure. As such, I think the QC could've been handled a lot better. Straight out of the box JP93 is just this shy of being a floppy mess and it's only to get worse over time. Transformation is smooth and intuitive which leads me to believe we'll see this mold somewhere down the line. I really can only recommend this set for the die-hard Jurassic Park fans.

JP93 is bad, really bad. Everything about it feels like a Transformers knockoff sold at Big Lots or Walgreens. Transformation is very simple, arms have floppy ball jointed elbows ala Combiner Wars with shoulder ratchets that don't ratchet, there's a gap in his torso you can easily see through, he has no waist pivot, his backpack sits too far from his back for no obvious reason, he does have ankle tilts but they're on clear plastic hinges, and his "feet" are exposed by taking an unnecessarily clear plastic panel from the roof, folding it under his foot on a clear plastic hinge (very weak and stiff feeling) and locking it in place with a tiny clear plastic tab that's likely to wear out after a few changes. Thanks to his absurd price he's now usurped Kingdom Tracks as worst TF this year for me.

So that mean JP-93 cost a whopping 60$can like Gigawatt, based on the 155$can price of the set. If I had paid this for JP-93, I'd be more pissed than I was with Gigawatt.
