FOC Prime and Shockwave are very nice. Good, solid plastic, decent transformations, and SW even has an ersatz "gun" mode, made possible by swinging the arms down to simulate an handle.
Of course, less mass and scant paint apps keep the trend of paying more for less continued. Ah, well, its to be expected.
Jazz is diappointing, very cheap feeling and doesn't stand well. He'll stay in alt mode, and I'm only retaining him to fill the slot of a valued canon character.
So, my opinion, 2/3 isn't bad.
Good weekend, all.

It's interesting you say that. They are all OK to me, as in not fantastic or wonderful, but good. Even Prime. If you listen to our podcast that should come out on Monday, CP gives some glowing review for Jazz, and Shockwave (minus his scrawny size), but would not even buy the PRime. I was actually pleasantly surprised by Optimus. His alt mode transformation is 'nothing new', but his robot mode is not bad in person.
FOC Jazz will be my IDW's RID Jazz for my new IDW collection shelf.
Lots to discuss from SDCC folks, we should!

I'm just going to wait till they come out at a store that doesn't bump the price up $5 higher. Those cheap figures aren't worth $16 to me. Target and Walmart should be getting them in soon.

Unfortunately, they are 14.99 at target as well. for once TRU isn't bumping up the price.
