Still can’t believe I found this figure at Walmart just a couple months ago, I figured its time at retail was long past.

Super glad I did though, it’s an awesome figure! Looks like it walked right off the screen in robot mode, and with the exception of the beard poking out a little, the kibble management in vehicle mode is really well done.

Can’t wait to combine it with Optimus!

So glad you are enjoying him! I highly recommend getting the DNA upgrade for them. I got 2 of Jetfire and Prime, just to keep one set always combined!

I saw one at Walmart a couple months back. I thought it was just something that got lost in the stockroom (that happens occasionally until they do a thorough cleaning). But of course it sold quickly.

He is very fun to combine. I lucked out in the opposite direction. I found jetwing prime on the shelf a couple months ago and had to hunt down Jetfire on ebay once I did.

There's is a SS Jetfire (and DoTM Megatron) at my Wal-Mart right now. If they ever clearance him, I'll pick him up. He's not worth $50.

Yeah, I just saw TWO of that Jetfire at Walmart last night, a Walmart that hadn't had any SS Jetfires since last year.

That kit does look great, I have the Ironhide one and I love it. Unfortunately buying Jetfire depleted my Transformers funds for a while so if I do get it it'll probably be somewhere down the road. I do also need to get the Bumblebee, Sentinel, and Blackout kit.

Nice find! Jetwing Prime is one of my favorite figures ever, not just in Studio Series. I'm glad I got mine from Pulse, because I think I only saw it once or twice at retail.

With the QC issue on that pin joint, I can understand that. Interesting that Jetfire's starting to pop up at retail again, not that I'm complaining! It's especially weird because his wavemate DOTM Megatron has been a fairly constant shelf presence since it hit stores.

Around here they were scarce, at both Wal-Mart and Target. I think I saw them twice altogether, before these stragglers popped up in my Wal-Mart last week. I will get Jetfire mainly for the blackbird mode, I love that plane. I don't care for his robot mode, and even though I love the original RoTF leader figure, the jet mode is yuge. From what I've seen, the SS version is a bit smaller. So that's why I don't want to pay full price, he would be basically a display piece in jet mode. Does that pin joint mess up transformation?

It's a plastic piece around a pin in the spine assembly that's prone to stressing and breaking. Some people haven't had it happen to theirs, and others have reported it breaking out of the box. Mine occurred after about 2 transformations, but it may have happened when I used a lot of force to separate the upper torso to try the combined mode gun.
Jetfire break.jpg


The advice I've found online so far is to knock out the pin ASAP and shave some of the plastic off of the inside of the piece, but my equipment to do that is back home so Jetfire will be staying in robot mode until I can do that.

If that joint does break fully, Jetfire's head, shoulders, and part of the upper torso (most of the parts that become the combined mode gun) will detach from the spine assembly. He could still transform, but he'd basically be a movieverse equivalent of that new space shuttle micromaster.

My final Pixelmaster post (for now, anyway), with some Studio Series details:
-A Demolishor repaint of Scavenger has been considered, but is not currently planned
-A Cybertronian Starscream retool of Blitzwing is confirmed (I think there was a listing of this somewhere, but I don't remember exactly)
-At least 1 currently unknown upcoming figure is going to be negatively affected by budget cuts, apparently, whether it's an SS or an SS886 was not mentioned (it wasn't even mentioned in an SS thread, but it was with this other information about known SS figures/characters so I'm assuming it's related)
-Blitzwing isn't licensed because the money that would have gone towards the licensing was instead used to give him additional accessories and articulation compared to other SS figures (fuel pods, knife hand, poseable choking hand, etc), and to fix some stability issues present in the original design
-Because the mold was made and came out before SS86 was conceived, a more movie-accurate repaint of Siege Springer is currently planned as a Selects release to supplement/accompany the SS86 stuff, no other figures were mentioned to be getting this treatment

Yeah, I apologize if that wasn't clear enough, I made around 4 of these posts in 24 hours each on a different thread, and I realize in my effort to not just type the same thing every time, I included less and less initial explanation, so if you didn't see the other posts I can see that being confusing. My bad.

I'd love a transforming Wheelie, especially after the TR version really wasn't that fun to handle, but I think it would be hard to do at that small of a size. I still think Kup's arms aren't transformed right because something just looks off. Not bad toy off, but something wasn't done right off.


Yeah, I've looked at Kup a lot trying to decide if I want to preorder him or not...
I know it's an improvement, but I must not like him enough... For me it's the face sculpt, and his shoulders being too low. I mean, I also think his shoulders are too broad, but even that would've bother me if they were higher on his torso.
I'm definitely skipping Blurr.
I only see myself considering these two figures if they go on some crazy good deal... Like $10 each.
Otherwise, it's just more money to funnel towards other figures (hopefully) like Galvatron and Slag.
And maybe MP Starscream.


My gut tells me you'll be able to find Kup, and maybe a few other 86 figures for that price somewhere down the line.

I've been thinking about it, I really think there's more to Blurr's arms than we've seen. It looks like there's a panel or hinge on them.

1. Bad posing - in several shots (including the latest), his ab joint is leaned back when it really shouldn't be, making him look awkward.

He's posed better here.
2. His shoulders are too low. Not quite as bad as on the original toy (dear Primus), but they're still set too far below the neckline. They needed a double-hinge or a slide to let them migrate 5mm or so up from where they currently are. Or have the existing hinge situated higher.
3. The backpack awkwardly sticks out instead of sitting against his back, so it looks like it's floating.

Hm... Maybe I'll be getting Legends Kup after all...

my only gripe on Kup is his chest is too flat its supposed to me more curved

Looking at that pic from the movie the arms are sorta in position. I think that light blue/green piece needs to be a little higher/flush with the body and by nature the arm hinge pushes things out a little.

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

I'd love a transforming Wheelie, especially after the TR version really wasn't that fun to handle, but I think it would be hard to do at that small of a size. I still think Kup's arms aren't transformed right because something just looks off. Not bad toy off, but something wasn't done right off.


Yeah, I've looked at Kup a lot trying to decide if I want to preorder him or not...
I know it's an improvement, but I must not like him enough... For me it's the face sculpt, and his shoulders being too low. I mean, I also think his shoulders are too broad, but even that would've bother me if they were higher on his torso.
I'm definitely skipping Blurr.
I only see myself considering these two figures if they go on some crazy good deal... Like $10 each.
Otherwise, it's just more money to funnel towards other figures (hopefully) like Galvatron and Slag.
And maybe MP Starscream.


My gut tells me you'll be able to find Kup, and maybe a few other 86 figures for that price somewhere down the line.


I hope so, because I've decided to hold off on those two for sure for now.
With preordering Cyclonus, Scourge, Hot Rod, Grimlock, and MP Starscream, as well as being on the hunt for ER Bluestreak (and waiting for Netflix Soudnwave and Bee to hunt down), I'm going to step back for a bit from spending anymore.

1. Bad posing - in several shots (including the latest), his ab joint is leaned back when it really shouldn't be, making him look awkward.

He's posed better here.
2. His shoulders are too low. Not quite as bad as on the original toy (dear Primus), but they're still set too far below the neckline. They needed a double-hinge or a slide to let them migrate 5mm or so up from where they currently are. Or have the existing hinge situated higher.
3. The backpack awkwardly sticks out instead of sitting against his back, so it looks like it's floating.

Hm... Maybe I'll be getting Legends Kup after all...

my only gripe on Kup is his chest is too flat its supposed to me more curved

That and the color of the chest piece and window on his vehicle mode is wrong. That's the thing that bugs me more than anything else about it, and it really is a big turn-off. If screen-accuracy is a big thing for this line, why use the transparent blue when a solid light greyish-blue piece is probably cheaper and more accurate?
It finally happened. The Chicago Cubs won the World Series. Yes, I cried.

Its kind of like Basic Instinct, but not in a good way...


Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.
