^^eh.. maybe he doesn't own the TF: Prime Jazz mould? I have it and like the 'Sideswipe'-ish / Bumblebee design elements. but I'll be replacing mine with Takara's soon.

Do you own the mold? Because I got sideswipe and jazz and I was SURE jazz would be the lesser of the 2 evils by looks alone but it turned out jazz has a solid figure. It clicks is sturdy in both modes AND has decent articulation

Looks better than Hasbro's at the very least. If this is included with Drift Origin I won't mind nearly as much.

If that Jazz gets a visor. It'll be a win in my books.

While Takara's RID (TAV) toys are definitely better-painted than their Hasbro counterparts, there's still some obvious cost-cutting going on. I like TAV Strongarm, but that toy also has unpainted wheel rims and no paint on the rear window or tail lights, along with a bunch of other missing details that could have made it more screen-accurate.
Afterburner
I guess if you like undetailed lumps of plastic.
I'm irritated they didn't bother to paint the wheels. Somtimes they do and sometimes they don't in this line. It really makes what is supposed to be a nice looking vehicle mode look like it has hit every curb on the block.

It's not bad, but it's a bit much and I'm finding that I prefer the US version a bit more. That's the thing about this line…it seems to be that the US versions are a bit easier to find appealing, at least for me.

Jazz needs TWO Autobot symbols. Cause the hood one is okay, but a fruity, color-wheel version on his gut really let's the 'Cons know his allegiance!
Bountyan
It's a polished turd.
Unfortunately I might end up with this mold anyway because of that Drift two pack. But we'll see.
OriginalFire
I agree, I was gonna sell my Jazz when he came but I'm gonna keep him. He actually looks pretty good. I wish there was a better pic of Drift though.
dCon
Yeaaa booooey. For.those that haven't messed with Rid15 Jazz he's a SOLID toy. It would be nice to get one with better paint. I'm not thinking he's show accurate with the double stripes though can anyone assist that claim? I thought he may have just had a single blue stripe in bot mode down his chest in toon. Not sure about vehicle mode

He's always gotta taunt me by sticking that sexy Optimus in there!! Give it to meeeeeeee

I want dammit

Gonna have to pass on the individual release in favor of that new Drift/Jazz two-pack. Going off the Phantom Jaw/Strongarm two-pack, I'm sure the Jazz in that pack will be the same as his single release.
Autovolt 127
No Visor…No Thanks. Why are they pushing for visorless Jazz now. Jazz's most defining design feature is his visor. the most consistence part of his design.
Rewind
Very nice. Jazz is my favorite figure from RiD so far so I'll probably splurge and get the Takara version for the extra paint. Really looking forward to that Optimus, too.
BScorpinok75
Looking good…
Underlord
Nice, but as I have warrior prime, sideswipe, and legion fixit I don't feel the need to get anymore rid, be it Hasbro or takara.
TFtoycollector
Not bad. Extra paint is nice but I'd only get this version if he had his visor.
