Yes, the box condition is at least C-8 and above.... It is made by Takara in Japan, 1980....
Its lovely....
Due to my love of my Diaclone... I decided to take a picture like this...
I'm not going to risk my Diaclone guys... its 1980.... Well, this piece can cost a bomb on ebay...
I never complained much about Encore's box designs. So far so good.
The art and design of the box does bring back the "old days"...
Instead of styro, now they use plastic inserts.
There are 2 Skylnyx here, one is Vintage and one is new... Make ur guesses...
Vintage left comes with Toybox logo and new one comes with Takara...
The vintage eye is gold color while the new one is blue...
The 3 modes...
Eagle mode with red gun turret...
New version with black gun turret.
Check out the weapons!
4 weapons to be precise!
2 hand weapons!
Getting this Animated craze is not my whole idea. My first hand on Ratchet like the other Animated as its quite identical to G1. There are 4 weapons. Things I noticed, since I transform this without manual. When pushing the head in, transforming to van mode, becareful. I stuck the head into and can't take it out. I sense that I stuck it wrongly or the infamous spring problem. Since I reviewed this at the toy shop, I didn't rectify this head problem as I didn't have my screwdriver set with me. Just becareful on this. Other than that, there's nothing much to worry about. Paintjob is so so depending your luck I guess. Like I said, its a decent piece with the price you paying for.
Base Mode
The 2 Powermasters....
I thought this review is just a plain normal Transformers review but I was wrong. During the transformations, mishap has happened. I broke 2 clips, which really pissed me off. One clip off the ramp and another inner clip of the jet broke as well. Both can be fixed thru extra duty super glue. As much as I love to play this, I forgot this monster is 20 years old vintage toy.
Jazz with his nunchakus!
Much has been said about this Animated series toys. The transformation is pretty okay. Not that simple and not that tough. The paint job is decent, quite a bit of articulation compare to G1 or G2 of course. With the price you paying for a deluxe, do not expect any great near perfect toy u going to get especially everything is made in China nowadays. In fact I'm pretty happy to review this Jazz as its quite identical to G1 Jazz and its cute features. The 2 nunchakus weapons are quite cool as well. I guess my money is now starting with Animated series....
The color art for the box is too yellowish to my liking...
The new head....
The old head...
Can you differentiate which is new and old?
Omega Supreme Robot Mode!
