I always try to get two versions of an MP mold in different colours to display in different modes. So could not resist getting this Shattered Glass repaint of the Jetfire mold. Click through below for the video review over on the Kool Kollectibles YouTube channel!
The set doesn't come with too much, and the lack of a flight stand is disappointing. Luckily I have all the MP-52 figures and their flight stands, so at least I had a way to display it in flight.
Bot mode is nice enough, but the vast amounts of unpainted black paint is also disappointing. It doesn't look too bad on display, but more paint would've been appreciated. Tolerances in the transformation were a bit better than the original, so I found it easier to transition between the modes.
Since I have all the cartoon colours in bot mode, I'll definitely have this version in jet mode. It's a bit cumbersome to display on the flight stand from MP-52 since there's only a single connection point. So I may use some other flight stands that have more connection points, and see how I go.
Either way, this will be it for me for this mold. I don't see Takara making any other version anyway to be honest. Hopefully they announce some actual new G1 Season 1 and 2 characters soon, and not just repaints!
