Siege Commander Jetfire

Got one at Toys on Fire in Montreal (119.99 before taxes).





PROS
-Big and chunky
-Good transformation
-Perfect shade of white (off white... eggshell?)
-Opening cockpit that can accommodate a Titan Master or a Prime Master
-8 weapons that can be positioned in multiple ways
-Convincing headsculpt
-The way the head hides in jet mode with the spring-loaded traps (I personally turn it around to completely hide the face from view)
-The way the 2nd cockpit compresses for backpack mode
-The 4 handles in jet mode to hang
-The 6 blast effects
-Ankle tilt
-Flipping badge (didn't know about - it's not in the instructions and I didn't remember the promo pictures)
-Surface detailing all over
-The way the hand peg holes disappear when you open up the hands
-Functional landing gear (so sick of molded wheels that don't roll!)

CONS
-Don't care for the battle mask or the chest armor, chest armor look silly in both modes imo, I'm not going to use it
-Knee joints feel soft, almost... Roadbot-ish?
-The nosecone assembly doesn't feel all that solid in jet mode
-Feet are kinda hard to unlock to access ankle tilt
-Hands sometimes unpeg when moving them around
-Funky elbows
-Battle mask could have been painted better (extra white that I had to up remove in the forehead hole)

Re: Siege Commander Jetfire

Can you pose this with some other figures (deluxe, voyages and leader) for size comparisons? Thanks!

Re: Siege Commander Jetfire

Check Optibotimus' review on YT, he shows it with various figures I think. My other figures aren't here with me.

Oh, and you can sit 2 additional figures in the upper cockpit.

Re: Siege Commander Jetfire

I had no idea about the upper cockpit.

Do you have FT Phoenix? I am curious about the size comparison.

Re: Siege Commander Jetfire

No... and I'm kinda glad I hold off buying one! :P I used to have Daca Toys Kronos, but it's been too long, I can't remember how big it really was.

Re: Siege Commander Jetfire

I just got my Jetfire today and he is glorious! Easily, one of my favs for 2019.





Here he is beside my Fans Toys Phoenix. The height difference from the top of the jetpacks is exactly two cans according to the Tuna Standard.
