If yes,What size scale,colors,,sculpt,vehicle mode & other stuff are you looking to get in this 3rd party toy? Which 3rd party company do you want to make this?

I'd want it to be in the Nine to Ten inch leader scale. So it can be a Similar Leader size scale of the AEC,Movie Verse,newer MP Scale & the newer 2014 Generations Leader size scale toys for Megatron & Jetfire. As close to the Marvel G-2 comics art designs & colors as possible. I'd like to see a MW Starscream or Cybertron Wingsabre similar Jet Alt mode used for 3rd party G-2 Jhiaxus. Maybe a winged bomber like 30th deluxe Megatron,25th Scourge & Energon Wingsabre used for there alt mode. I think MMC,Planet X & FP can create this in a way that i'd be happy with.

I'd rather wait and see what Has/Tak brings with this Generations Deluxe, first.

It may be the case that one will be a RID homage, and the other a current IDWverse/G2 reminiscent figure, and I'd be fine with dishing out a little more for the latter.

I would love a G2 Jhiaxus. Im happy with the KayBee exclusive version. Ill find another spot for the upcoming retool of Armada Starscream. But a G2 Jhiaxus would be awesome. 3rd party of course because I think Hasbro has already chosen what they want Jhiaxus.

Jhiaxus is such a minor character in the whole scheme of things that I'm happy enough with the Hasbro version.

At least that's what I'm going to tell myself. Who knows if I'd cave if there's a decent Voyager-sized Jhiaxus figure ever made.

Not having the nostalgia of the Marvel era comics(never read 'em, never really plan to), I'm happy with the RiD Jhiaxus.

This, right here.

Also, my favorite Jhiaxus is his Wings universe incarnation, which is based on the old RiD toy. I'd say this upcoming retool is just a bonus, more than anything, for my collection.

I'm aware of the Rid Jhiaxus KB exclusive toy. I've never heard of a TFCC Wings Jhiaxus toy. Does Wings Jhiaxus have a toy or is it just featured in the TFCC Magazine as art?

When I was a TFCC Member. I loved that Omega Doom art in the magazine. It's too bad they never made a toy out of that. That Cybertron Menasor toy is a great mold to use for Omega Supreme or Dia Atlas.

Jhiaxus is a relatively major player in the IDW comics. His look there is certainly closer to his G2 incarnation than the RID toy. I'd probably like a toy of that design, if just for his mad colour scheme. Voyager would probably be okay, but I'd be fine with a Deluxe size.

I remember before OTFCC lost there liscense with Hasbro. They revealed plans to release a PlaySkool Gobots toy named Aerobot that OFTCC had plans to repaint,remold & Name G-2 Jhiaxus. I thought it was a decent sculpt to use.

Another great recent toy to use for a G-2 Jhiaxus toy is that 2011 RTS Voyager Lugnut toy. All thats needed is newer colors & a G-2 Jhiaxus head sculpt.

Instead HasTak opts to use Two toys that look nothing like the Marvel or IDW Jhiaxus. Which are the 30th Armada Starscream toy & the BM Jetstorm toy.

I think the toy I get the most Jhiaxus vibe from is the Movieverse Starscream. Yes, Mecha-Dorito himself. paint that sucker up in vaguely correct colours and stick an actual head on it and I'd probably grudgingly buy it.

Which SS movie version toy & size? there were several.

IS THERE A DEMAND FOR A MARVEL COMICS G-2 JHIAXUS 3RD PARTY TOY?

Yes. Yes there is. Yes, I want and need it. Yes, yes, gimme. gimme. gimme.

I would actually like a IDW Jhiaxus better. I didn't read G2 until a few years ago so the whole 90's bad-ass looks are not that interesting for me. Which doesn't mean I don't find Masterpiece G2 Sideswipe absolutely forgeous :lol:

So yeah. IDWverse Jhiaxus to join Maketoys Nova Prime and UT Galvatron would be something I'd most probably buy. G2-accurate Jhiaxus, well... If the toy looks really nice, sure, why not. Definitely not that Armada Starscream redeco anyway.

I recently read the latest issue of IDW ReGeneration 1, which features G2 Jhiaxus, and I gotta admit I like that image of him... if someone ever makes him, preferably in Voyager scale, I'd get him ASAP.

they all look a bit like a scrunched up tinfoil covered dorito, so...the deluxe one for the cheapness.
