Black Friday Surprise/Hasbro Paint Apps

I decided not to go out at 5am and fight crazed Christmas shoppers this year. Instead I waited until about noon and went to see what was left. To my surprise, at my local K-Mart, RTS Turbo Tracks and Mindset were sitting on the shelf(sadly no Jazz). The fact that RTS is already on shelves is great but also kind of worries me bc we haven't even seen Generations wave 3.

On to the figure. Turbo Tracks is phenomenal if you haven't had a chance to pick him up or see him in person. I cannot wait to see WJ made from that mold. As far as paint apps, this figure is almost perfect. He has headlights and tail lights painted on as well as painted rims and the hood decal. Sadly, the exhaust pipes still receive no love. That raises my question. How can a figure like this have head/tail lights painted on as well as well as painted rims and then Hasbro give us figures like Jazz that do not have painted wheels and not even tail lights! Why do you think Hasbro is so hit and miss with paint applications on figures?

Fallback. He was there as well but I'm not impressed with the mold personally.

No, it really isn't that bad. My only complaint is that it is more of a shell-former. He has a lot of back kibble. I'm not sure how the paint quality is on this guy since I passed on him. I'd imagine it is like the rest of the Generations/RTS line and pretty solid. Some Blurr figures being the exception. Speaking paint schemes, he is rather bland. Personally, I like Brawn's a little better.
