TOY OF THE WEEK: Transformers Legacy G2 Jhiaxus

[@blud890]

I'm starting to think there won't be more on that later

[@SixoTF]

Later

[@bradensmith8682]

Kingdom Cyclonus, Legacy Jhiaxus, and Legacy Tarn. The holy modern Voyager triumvirate.

[@SixoTF]

I have Tarn on the way too

[@MrThunderwing]

This toy is pure sex! Never in a million years did I think we'd end up getting such a G2 comic accurate representation of Jhiaxus (especially after the slightly different portrayal of him we got in the IDW comics, where his proportions were a bit out of whack). Now, if only we could get a _proper_ comic accurate version of everyone's favourite Bond villain, sociopathic Autobot scientist, Flame. I absolutely love that overly gesticulating fruit-cake.

[@DeamonChocobo]

Seriously love this guy. The 90's aesthetic is something i live for and something about the G2 insignias just give me joy.

[@SixoTF]

Same!

[@kevinboutwell]

God I love those horns and that bass in the intro. Brightens my day every time.

[@SixoTF]

Aw that’s great to hear

[@russellharrell2747]

It’s like I’m hitting the town tonight with my boys Blaster, Tracks and Raul

[@SixoTF]

@@russellharrell2747 that’s the spirit

[@chadking375]

I love the Marvel resurgence we’re on

[@mnsor79]

I'm surprised Hasbro hasn't come up with a repaint of this excellent mold yet.

[@michaellombardi1620]

I love this figure and I love the sheer fact it exists at all! Yaniger head and all!

[@SixoTF]

Right? Exactly.

[@jazzhandy9479]

Jhiaxus's alt mode kinda reminds me of 2007 movie megatron, with the wings that are far at the back of the jet, with the "fin" in the rear middle of the jet

[@ae_double]

Still amazed by this toy today, mainly for all the things mentioned here. The sculpt design and colours just make him pop more than you'd think he would.

[@SixoTF]

Very much so

[@Takeshi357]

Now if only we got a G2 Sideswipe with a bandolier and similarly Derek Yaniger-esque headsculpt!

[@bastard2134]

Sixo, I’ve seen your picture galleries for years now. I’ve also heard Ben from Ben’s Collectables mention you fondly several times. I never realized you did video reviews as well!!! I’m so glad I discovered this fact! I enjoy your reviews and subscribed immediately. I’m sorry I’m so late to the game, but I’m glad I’m finally here! Keep up the great work and the fabulous contributions to our fandom!

[@SixoTF]

Thanks so much, David, that’s lovely to read! Glad to have you aboard. :)

[@Spootprime]

Got him on sale and mate, these were the BEST 25 quid of my life. what an utter beast.

[@Spootprime]

By the way, the gun is based on the one Optimus Prime uses in the G2 comics. The smaller one of the two is meant to fit in Laser Prime's hand-slit-finger dealies!

[@ultra_marcus]

Jhiaxus is possibly the perfect modern Voyager.

[@SixoTF]

Not wrong

[@SwizzPrime]

honey wake up, new Sixo video!

[@SixoTF]

You know it

[@gerardsadaya6834]

So happy this guy exists in toy form ❤ Jhiaxus in the G2 Comics was 💪🔥

[@amlesion9142]

Never knew about this character. Awesome backstory. I need to check out the comics.

[@SixoTF]

Worth a look!

[@colmodonnell3405]

Glad toy of the week is back🎉

[@SixoTF]

😎

[@Renkencen]

I liked how you took the scope attach to the gun and attach it on top of the plane mode. To me the arms placement in plane mode never bother me as I see it as a pernament base attach to the plane!

[@markschroeder5559]

One of the most Kirbyesque designs, especially with the color scheme and the exposed cables.

[@chadking375]

That chinstrap is pure Darkseid

[@farblechar]

This was one of those toys that I have absolutely no need for, but was very tempted to get regardless. He does just look that good!

[@jameslohr4943]

Always happy to see you post a video!

[@SixoTF]

Thanks!

[@seed4212]

the flying space hot dog

[@SixoTF]

That’s a comparison I had not considered

[@Robogeek28]

Love this damn figure!

[@SixoTF]

Same

[@robotlorekeeper9880]

Might have to try and get my paws on this guy at TFN. I was always happy on behalf of the true G2 warriors that he was finally here but he grew on me quite quickly and I’ve been meaning to get him for ages. Nothing renews my appreciation for a brilliant toy quite like your camera work

[@SixoTF]

Aw thanks! And yeah, I slept on him initially but was won over by people repeatedly telling me how good he is. They were right.

[@RandomWizard55]

Love these videos!!

[@SixoTF]

Thanks!

[@forbiddenspatula4243]

I like putting my figures' arms slightly to the side in jet mode. It makes the sculpt a bit better, almost like an X wing.

[@SixoTF]

I’ll give that a go

[@atomD21]

Another fantastic video as always, Sixo! Always get excited when I see that blue dot on your account pic! I've been holding off on this guy hoping to get a deal on him, but i may just have to break down and grab him. He is just so well done!

[@SixoTF]

Aw thanks, really glad you enjoyed it.

[@timburke2820]

another awesome review! I just got my copy of Jhiaxus earlier this week and have been fiddling with him nonstop :D. he's right up thewre in sheer ease of play as Kingdom Huffer, which is another of my go to fiddlebots lately. And man, your photoshoot with Jhiaxus is, as always, purely brilliant. I gotta ask though, just how much time was spent playing around with him between poses? :D

[@SixoTF]

Thanks, Tim! I actually have spent quite a lot of time with this guy - he’s really captured my attention.

[@spook-n-doodle1332]

Weird that yours is yellowing. Ive had my copy since it came out and he remains unharmed by yellowing.

[@SixoTF]

I’m not the only one by any means - it’s not uncommon

[@garyphillips3406]

The new rocks?

[@SixoTF]

The new rocks

[@xscaralienx9398]

PLEASE mix your audios so YOU are higher than the music. I cant hear anything you are trying to say

[@SixoTF]

Noted

[@rayvenkman2087]

A figure ruined by yellowing in the white plastic.

[@SixoTF]

It is a shame. Still a great toy tho

[@amirrashidan3047]

Gee, axe us.

[@SixoTF]

Well, quite

[@amirrashidan3047]
