The high price is justified by the custom being a Jin Soatome custom..haha. Jin is an established customizer/kitbasher and has a reputation for amazing quality work. Yeah, the prices get pretty high, but just goes to show how great this guy's stuff is.I love looking at his work :grin:

dude, chill.

take a look at the bid history buddy, look at the very bottom of the list there, and tell us what's the starting bid. a dollar, right? who should be ashamed now, the seller for setting such a dirt-cheap starting bid?

the high price was due to the people bidding on this item, and it was not set by the seller himself.

second, if you read around, this has been posted a few days ago and the customizer himself readily acknowledged that he used some parts from that Neo Shifter set.

third, that's Mister Jin Saotome yer talking about man. THE Mr. Saotome. his creations fetch high prices because they are worth that. really. go visit his site @ http://www.jinsaotomesdangeroustoys.com/.

Quoted for truth, i support Jin saotome!! I love the look of the Unicron.. and I have often thought of a really good back story behind his character for intro into the live action movies..


He hits the Earth as a comet...drills deep itnot he planet's core, then devours it!! that is why he's called the world eater..after that a planet dies..

that way he's not too huge of a character, and unbelieveable for the live action movie..and he can reasonably be defeated by the Autobots..


Jin's design is pheonominal!!! I love the attention to detail, and the lead lighting..I could easiuly see this guy int he movie as a villain that all the autobots and Decepticons must fight..
Image

And back from the Abyss, Unicron's newest Herald, Galvatron, who must seek revenge on Prime and the Humans for dumping him into the abyss of the ocean's depth!!

Ok pack it up guys!! The sequels already written!!! just kidding.. :lol:

I aint got nothing against the guy, but the bidders are idiots with too much money. All Jin does is use some acrylic paints and brushed them on to already existing figure to make them look more movie accurate. Its not like he is scratch building highly detailed new molds. All he did was stick a paint brush in a jar and rubbed it over the figure, or stuck a few existing spare gundamn or lego parts on to make new weapons.
He doesn't even use an airbrush or proper paints!

His work is good but people really need to realize that almost anyone can do what he, myself, and nearly every other TF customizer has done.

Jin hogs too much of the lime light around here. He's a nice guy and all but seriously anyone can do this stuff.

seriously, the price is not set by the maker, it's set by those who are willing to buy it.

and do i detect a hint of sarcasm in your post? it's not appreciated. learn your internet dude, it'll save you a lot of flames in the long run.

you should be banned from the boards with a comment like this. Everyone here is a fan of Jin and his work has done nothing but inspire people to go crazy with kitbashing and repainting. The day you create something that inspires someone else, you *might* have room to talk.

I think your comments are insulting and childish. Your PMs to me claiming you are 'better than Jin' just make me laugh, but when you go on a public level and outright try to insuly his art...that's downright disrespectful and immature, you should be ashamed and get back to painting plastic toys with 'automotive grade' paint.

as a matter of fact, he does use an airbrush whenever he feels its necessary, you obviously dont keep up with his work. And what do you consider to be proper paints?

like someone said before, if any one could really do his work, sure, they might still not get as much as jin, because he is, like i said, established, but they would certainly get more. Many customizers can't apply paint half as well as jin. Ive seen many a clumpy and sloppy paintjobs, but jin's paint jobs are always smoothe.

I Go To An Art School In Philadelphia and This Reminds Me Of A Similar Conversation I Was Having The Other Day. In This "Internet Age" Any One Can Slap Together A Flash Animation (Im An Animator Myself), A Photoshop Painting, Digital Photo Collection, or Any Other Form Of Modern Art and Post It On You Tube Or Commission Themselves On Deviant Art (Which Im Proud To Not Be Part Of Either).

The 2 Things That Do Matter When Sorting Through The Above Said (Because You Still Can Find The "True" Art In The Vast Internet) Are:

1 - The Artist Knowing Understanding And Practicing The Techniques. Jin Does This. It Not About Just What You Can Do (Or In The Internet Age "Throw Together") But Rather You Know How It Is Properly Done and Can Grow and Flourish With Your On Techniques Added As Well

2 - The Patron or Viewer (You). In Your Case Clearly You Can Not Appreciate Art (Transformers Art In This Case). Number 2 Goes Right Back To Number 1. Sure "Anybody" Can Read His Tutorials and Buy The Equipment. But The Work Jin Puts Out Come From Practice and Understanding Of The Trade. Which Once Again You Clearly Think You Have

Its Like A Fellow Student From Last Year. He Came My School. University Of The Arts. Wanting To Be A Photo Major. Yet His Only Experience In The Field Was Digital Photography (Internet Age Anyone....). He Knew Nothing Of How To Develop Traditional Film, Use Filters, Or Even For That Matter The Techniques For Aperture and Shutter Speed / Film Speed. His Knowledge was Composition and How To Digitally Edit Photographs In Photoshop. This Goes To My Personal Opinion. If You Don't Know Or Don't Want To Understand The Principles Of The Art Form Then You Cant Call What Your Create Art. Im Aiming To Go Into 3D Computer Animation, But Here I Am At UArts Doing Hand Drawn 2D Animation For the Next 2-3 Years. Why So I Can Understand The Art Form Better.

That Is What Separates You From Jin and An "Anybody" From An "Artist"

AAh frenzy as always trying to start ****.

Its called having an opinion ya douche bag, get over it and stop stirring ****. And i never once claimed to be better than Jin (who cares if someone claims or thinks they are better than someone else anyway? Its called having confidence. You can be full of yourself but nobody else can? You are a hypocrite), i just said there there is better work and customizer out there.

Your the one who should be banned for always trying to start flame wars everywhere i go, and making me look like the bad guy, when its obvious you do nothing but bait and flame people into arguments.

You have NO ROOM TO TALK when it comes to repainting since you show none of your work, i havnt seen one thing from you yet that says you have this so called "15 years of experience" in repainting, for all i know your just full of BS. So why dont you either step up or shut up for once?

BTW, Car paints are perfect for repainting as they dont wear out and dont chip, if you had any experience at all youd know this, so go to hell if you think that my technique of painting TF's with car paint is stupid.

Im reporting you to the mods now as i am sick and tired of you constantly bashing my techniques everywhere i go, so im just gonna ignore anything you have to say from now on.

All Jin does is use some acrylic paints and brushed them on to already existing figure to make them look more movie accurate. Its not like he is scratch building highly detailed new molds. All he did was stick a paint brush in a jar and rubbed it over the figure, or stuck a few existing spare gundamn or lego parts on to make new weapons.
He doesn't even use an airbrush or proper paints!

His work is good but people really need to realize that almost anyone can do what he, myself, and nearly every other TF customizer has done.

Jin hogs too much of the lime light around here. He's a nice guy and all but seriously anyone can do this stuff.


I Go To An Art School In Philadelphia and This Reminds Me Of A Similar Conversation I Was Having The Other Day. In This "Internet Age" Any One Can Slap Together A Flash Animation (Im An Animator Myself), A Photoshop Painting, Digital Photo Collection, or Any Other Form Of Modern Art and Post It On You Tube Or Commission Themselves On Deviant Art (Which Im Proud To Not Be Part Of Either).

The 2 Things That Do Matter When Sorting Through The Above Said (Because You Still Can Find The "True" Art In The Vast Internet) Are:

1 - The Artist Knowing Understanding And Practicing The Techniques. Jin Does This. It Not About Just What You Can Do (Or In The Internet Age "Throw Together") But Rather You Know How It Is Properlly Done and Can Grow and Flourish With Your On Techniques Added As Well

2 - The Patron or Viewer (You). In Your Case Clearly You Can Not Appreciate Art (Transformers Art In This Case) You Say That Anybody Can Do What He Is Doing But Yet I Do Not See Your Work In The Kitbash Forums... Let Alone Looking Like His. Number 2 Goes Right Back To Number 1. Sure "Anybody" Can Read His Tutorials and Buy The Equipment. But The Work Jin Puts Out Come From Practice and Understanding Of The Trade. Which Once Again You Clearly Think You Have But I Have Yet To See This.

Its Like A Fellow Student From Last Year. He Came My School. University Of The Arts. Wanting To Be A Photo Major. Yet His Only Experience In The Field Was Digital Photography (Internet Age Anyone....). He Knew Nothing Of How To Develop Traditional Film, Use Filters, Or Even For That Matter The Techniques For Aperture and Shutter Speed / Film Speed. His Knowledge was Composition and How To Digitally Edit Photographs In Photoshop. This Goes To My Personal Opinion. If You Don't Know Or Don't Want To Understand The Principles Of The Art Form Then You Cant Call What Your Create Art. Im Aiming To Go Into 3D Computer Animation, But Here I Am At UArts Doing Hand Drawn 2D Animation For the Next 2-3 Years. Why So I Can Understand The Art Form Better.

That Is What Separates You From Jin and An "Anybody" From An "Artist"


You can find my work int he kitbash forums as i post everything i do there.

Why dont you actually post one example of your work, then maybe YOU can talk too?



Jesus people i state an opinion because im not in the legions of Jin fans and i get crucified. Thats hardly fair, i feel like a black person in the 30's all of a sudden. Chill the feck out.

as much as I love the stuff Jin does, and that toy is amazing in terms of paint apps etc etc.

It doesn't too much for me in terms of a good unicron figure. The face is too different and the rings....

It looks amazing, but I would never buy it to be my ultimate unicron figure. I'm pretty happy with the armada one TBH.

now... gimme wheelie and cyclonus now! :)
