AOYI Mech BMB Blackmamba LS-14 LS-15 Overisize Studio Series Optimus Prime and Jetfire

[@BensKOllectables]

As much as I love Jetfire, this set comes across as a little underwhelming, what are peoples thoughts?

[@alpanashukla4904]

Hi Ben, I recently brought APC attack prime (from TF direct), it's joints are very tight. So if I try to use a hair dryer, will it damage the paint and the plastic? If it is safe, how long do I use the hair dryer on a joint for? And yes that set in the video might be a little underwhelming, but at least it has great paint job.

[@alpanashukla4904]

And do I need to use cold water after using hair dryer?

[@ArionRDAW]

@@alpanashukla4904 before you try the hairdryer method, try searching youtube for "shock oil toy joints". You may be able to source it from a hobby shop, especially those that sell Tamiya racing cars.

I’m actually thinking of getting the Optimus Prime from TFDIRECT, but I’m not sure if it’s worth the buy.

[@acoote1701]

The Logo on the tail fins of Jetfire are not a squirrel, they are of a Skunk, as the department of Lockheed Martin Corp that designed and built the SR-71 Blackbird was known as "The Skunk Works" as their work was mainly top secret in nature

[@shovelchop81bikeralex52]

The skunk was from a WWII comic strip apparently no idea what it was called but obviously got up to mischief lol.

I've never seen the combined version of the augmented version before!! That's cool. Thank you.^^☺️☺️☺️

[@TFICreations]

Personally I do love the look of the Optimus, mostly for his robot mode. I'll be displaying my Wei Jiang Studio Series Optimus in truck mode while this one will be displayed in robot mode as I love the paint work on it.

[@Por-poI]

Does this and the Wei Jiang SS have the same height?

[@beybreado]

@@Por-poIno. This one's optimus is approx 25cm, while weijiang's is 30cm

[@The_Barroth]

Given how atrocious the prices are for the normal sized studio series jetfire, I’m really considering getting this guy. More bang for my buck

[@3000bigrandy]

And he’s also more scale accurate

[@The_Barroth]

@@3000bigrandy in the time between these comments I was actually able to nab the official one for 40 bucks Got the upgrade kit and yeah I’m pretty happy Tho maybe I should’ve just went with the big guy…

[@JONNYSORENSEN_AU]

Oi Oi! Mech have done it again! they dont always have the nice extras, but I like that they keep things relatively affordable

Man, I am so glad I got the FWI when I could.

[@ChaoticDarkness1]

I have that Jetfire displayed with my Studio Series collection because I just think the figure scales better there. I prefer the ROTF PS2/Wii video game scale when it comes to characters like Jetfire and The Fallen. They were huge in that game.

[@yannicdey1522]

i also want a 50 cm jetfire but at least now we have a good scale with studio series figures

[@krowmontekristo4801]

hello Ben. I've been waiting for your review of these badass warriors! thanks a lot Ben! another COOL and AWESOME review! ROLL OUT!!! 😎

Jeez! If you have to struggle with a figure so much that you end up hurting yourself, I don't think it's worth it! Sorry that you hurt yourself, btw

[@3000bigrandy]

[@hthrun]

Great review! Of the toys mentioned in this video, I'm planning on getting the Iron Factory kit first to go with my LT2. Then at some point I'd like to get the Jetfire as a stand alone Jetfire and skip the OSKO SS Prime. Ideally someone will make a kit to go with the IF Jetpower kit and form a full, transformable Jetfire, but that's VERY unlikely...

[@mirza1907]

Really hope that Aoyi will make jetfire that compatible with Optimus Prime LS03. and also has quality as good as and the same class with LS03. It will be really great!

[@alexiscamacho2115]

O my, that slice was so bad, I hove that you recovered quickly

[@ElenarMT]

Nice review. You covered a lot, but kept the time well in hand. I am reasonably disappointed in this figure set from Black Mamba. Black Mamba has been so amazing - their last few offerings - LS-03 Optimus especially, were such great quality. But these just seem a little lacklustre on BMB's part. I don't know what it is, neither figure just really scream "Buy me", like so many recent KOs have. But thanks for bringing us the review anyway! Good review - glad I always wait for your reviews before I make purchase decisions

[@BensKOllectables]

Completely agree with you, as much as i like the Jetfire figure, the set as a whole is slightly underwhelming and I can only really see it appealing to the completionists

[@joshuaromerogonzalez945]

People are feeling the same way with the KO Constructicons

[@gaetan3914]

I know WJ and BMB are only KO’s toys company , but it looks like WJ puts more attention and accuracy in their works

[@yutubi]

It scales with mpm large figures like OP, IH, Megatron in bot mode.

[@JustGettinStarted]

This is a no brainer 💪🏾

[@hanisjahari]

Man, i wish they just make Jetfire only and can combine him with previous bmb prime.

[@darwinci]

if the jetfire is the same price as a italeri sr71, im gonna buy this piece instead.

[@longarmclearlyisop7454]

great video love the ss line and i am getting jetfire and optimus prime 44 or 32 for my b day.

[@khalilumrani9742]

Love the figure

[@randomuser-mv7bb]

Wish they oversize Jetfire a bit more. He just so small compared to LS 13, which is doesn't make sense. I can't buy him because he doesn't scale well with my collection.

[@hthrun]

Hi Ben, I watched this video a while ago. I've been thinking of getting this Jetfire since I found out he can combine with MPM-4/LT-2. Have you tried that combo yet?

[@strangeapprentice]

Wish they just made a regular studio series copy not oversizing it. That would be awesome

[@ForcesOfTheRussianFederation]

Wow the transformation is similar to the baiwei star leader i hope when it gets delivered to my home i hope it doesnt have that LOOSE ARM UNTABBING PROBLEM LIKE MY BAIWEI STAR LEADER!!!!

[@tropdommage3288]

I shaved plastic from the huge gun handle and now it can be inserted in the closed fist perfectly. Stupid design oversight though.

any idea that the jetfire can bought separately?

The plastic set along cost more than 100 good luck with that

[@profilepicturenotfound9694]

Does the ls14 have led in his eyes?

Not gonna combine them..the removable abs part would not come off on my Prime copy..and the hinge of the gas tank would not budge..i rather keep them separate..i think im gonna replace my ROTF Jetfire with this one. I'd keep the other one in Jet mode tho..

it's actually just the masterpeice movie prime with an upgrade kit, emgo316 did a review of it, here : kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWSbfJ6Jq9uHe7M

[@geekatari4391]

I think BmB should have made Jetfire at least as tall as their version of Scorn or Grimlock. It would still be shorter than it should be, but far taller than what they did here. I also think they should have made an upgrade kit for the LS03/LS03F to convert Optimus Prime into the Jet Prime combo. Other than that, I'd get this jetfire over any other because it looks good, and if I want to display it with optimus, I'd get the LS14 and combine them and keep them like that.

[@didithirteen]

33:03 what model at the left one ?

[@海斗-o1r]

How tall is ls14 optimus prime?

[@Someone_64-s4u]

25cm

[@bertywahyudi5950]

so it can't hold its gun?

[@tropdommage3288]

It can, you just need to shave some plastic off the flat tab. Works perfectly now.

[@DragoonMS]

A shame about the crap joints. Honestly, I don't think that they needed to oversize these at all. But, at least the combined mode looks better than SS44 Jetwing Optimus Prime...that ain't bad, but even the old Takara one from DotM (reuses the RotF Leader mold) has that thing beat.

[@rinzler9171]

I do not think I like any of these Jetfire/Prime combinations. Prime in the movies looked severely bulked up, his legs were not the skinny stock ones he had before he died. After he killed fallen and dropped the wings he looked like he had been hitting the gym and stocking up on HGH.

[@decko_the_gecko1212]

Usually Weijiang modifies some of the parts to make it more movie accurate, but the short smokestacks, small gas tanks and the wheel guard on the legs really makes this figure a waste. Couldve used some engineering aspects from their Black Apple Thunder Leader.
