This video just makes me miss my childhood growing up in the 80s so much more!! Man, those were the days!! Who else grew up in the 80s and agree with me??
Siege was my first modern transformer that got me hooked again in 2021. I saw this KO advertised on preorder a while back and took no time at all I was on it. It's a great thing, I had to collapse the legs down to get it in the cabinet. That stand base, it's also a huge gap filler for the underside of Jetfire
I had quite a few Transformers as a kid. When I got. Jetfire even being just six years old I knew that his toy was on a different level of quality than pretty much every other Transformer at the time. None of us knew that all the G1 stuff wasn't created specifically to be Transformers I was puzzled as to why he looked exactly like one of those Robotech jets. My God what a great toy he was. The level of quality wasn't equalled until I got the "city bots" Metroplex and Scorpionox, oh and we can't forget Omega Supreme either.
Glad to see he's sturdy, and is possible, unlike that terrible oversized Magic Square Optimus knockoff that came out recently. I would have grabbed this one if I didn't already have Siege Jetfire, though I do really like that flight stand, and wish the OG came with one.
Huge KO JetFire, shut up and take my Money! this was a fantastic idea. I love when they do the upscaled knock offs, they feel like what we should be getting. Great Video Buddy!
I was kinda hoping it'd be bigger with some more costomization tweaks for a oversized KO, but the diecast, light up eyes, flight stand, at the OG price makes it more than worth it. I'll have to try to eventually hunt one down to display it next to my original Siege Skyfire.

@ToySpotlite yeah ill probably be at Chicago. I was on the yt panel with primal and ppr. Was wondering if you'd like to come on my Around 30 show sometime? It's just a interview fun kind of thing i do to get to know reviewers n stuff. Thanks for your time.
Of course! PPR is rude and doesn't introduce me to people. LOL. Just subbed to you. I'm leaning towards Chicago as well. Considering Botcon, too. I definitely recommend Retro Con to all TF fans. And I would be happy to come on your show. Sounds like fun!
@ToySpotlite lol 😆 that he is! Yeah went to Botcon this year. Doubt i make it nex year. A buddy of mine runs a show around here that ill go too. . Heard so many great things about Retro Con. Would love to make it up there. OK awesome idk what your schedule is like but ill definitely work around it. I use streamyard. I know the holidays are coming up so can definitely work around that as well. Thanks!
Should definitely try for Retro Con! I am pretty free most of the holidays. Feel free to message me through my ToySpotlite Instagram or use the form on my site fandomspotlite.com if you prefer email. Looking forward to it!
Hmm if they went up a size they could start sticking GiJoes in there. That would be some collab maybe Skyfire Ace combo. He'd be absolutely huge if they made it like the cartoon where he could carry multiple people lol.
To fit the old Joes they'd need to practically double the original's size of it. And I agree it would be massive at that scale. We're talking Fan toys Phoenix scaling if not bigger.
Just wondering, does the cockpit and side passenger compartments open up to allow to put in the micro figurines in, if they do it would have been nice to see. Also loved this video, really thinking about getting this version as I actually always thought it should have been much bigger as it is in the cartoons. I mean come on, other transformers can ride inside him.
@@ToySpotlitethanks so much for replying, yeah that’s what I was meaning by asking whether this one’s parts opened up or not like the mp one does, still luv this larger version, think it will look amazing beside all my KO mp and KO g1 figures, mostly purchased down to your reviews, thanks.
@@ToySpotlite Have no Idea how to make that happen but I would be down. You are truly one of my fav and a house fav for your videos. I know we play but I do love your content
Great review. If you put each jetfire up against the new Commander Class Optimus, which one -the knockoff or the Siege, is closer in actual scale to the show?
Honestly looks better in that size! Wish I had room for him. On a different note why can't we get an OSKO of Windcharger since Hasbro have no interest in making one?
I wonder if he's the same size as Fan Toys Phoenix but Phoenix was over $250 about 5 years ago. This ko might be better than Phoenix for the price. Phoenix doesn't have light up eyes and I'm not sure if it has a base either. I have both siege and Phoenix but I'm interested in this one.
I saw someone refer to this as "fourth party" which could mean they think it's a KO of Phoenix, but with the added electronics, it would be a step up, I would think.
Nice that you got free stuff, insulting to us that we don't even get a code or anything to share the wealth. Why should I buy from the link or continue to watch you advertising products when we don't get anything from it? You should fight harder to get us discounts and not review things unless they give us some benefit too, I'm not going to watch you continue to profit if you never benefit us either.
First of all, my friend, I've been asking about coupon codes and trying to get some. But they tell me they don't have a huge margin on these items, so it wouldn't be much off. Secondly, I think you overestimate what I make from this channel. Profit? What is that? The majority of the videos on this channel are from toys I paid for out of my own pocket. And most of the videos don't even cover the cost of the toy, forget about making a profit! I paid 200 dollars plus for a Nemesis Titan and reviewed it. I made about $9 in revenue. The recent Core Class Starscream that cost me about $10 that I reviewed? I made $4. I make these reviews because I love Transformers. I love to share Transformers with other fans. Would I like to make a profit? Sure. But that's not happening anytime soon. And if a store or a manufacturer offers me free merchandise to review, I jump at it. Of course I try to get coupon codes for the viewers. But that's up to them. And the stuff I've managed to get for free doesn't offset all the stuff I pay for and review. So I didn't mean to insult anyone by not giving a coupon code. But I'm also not going to turn down free merchandise because I can't get a discount for my viewers. I do what I can. Now, you can choose to not watch me "continue to profit" because I can't get you 3% off a toy. I'm here trying to give good information to fellow collectors and (hopefully) entertain them a little. I will continue to do that. And not so I can profit. For the love of the toys.
Now, if only they did an oversized version of Siege Astrotrain.

"Do you think we should play it safe? Stop it here?"
" NAH LETS MAKE IT BIGGER!"

That stand base, it's also a huge gap filler for the underside of Jetfire
Appreciate the review 🙏🏿! I’m definitely adding this Jetfire to my collection
I bought this. It is really huge! I don't know where to keep and hide it!
@ uh oh 😂

For pretty much the same msrp as the commander Jetfire, thats pretty cool. The addition of a nice stand is really nice too!

"You can fly down and blast the shit out of some Decepticons."........Instant Sub!!! See you in the next one! 🙂👍
Looks really good ,and options in size are always great ,she said !
thanks for the review just purchased him! love the channel keep up the awesome work!..i have the original siege but kinda liking this one more..
You recieve yours yet?
Hey captain you can use the base under the jet mode to fill him out a little more. Thanks for the review
Thanks! I kind of saw something about that in the instructions, but I figured I'd leave SOMETHING for people to discover on their own. LOL
“The Evolution of…” for this character would be awesome.
It's on the list.
In my entire life I have never seen a Jetfire review (either original or KO)
Weird. I didn't do an original, but I did do a Shattered Glass version. I just assumed the regular has been reviewed to death.
Than you ain't watching enough people....smh
Emgo
Now you have.
Awesome! 😎

Thanks, man! I try to be as down to earth as I can be.
I think i met you at TFCon Baltimore? Cant believe i wasn't subbed to you. Sorry about that. Great review and meeting you!
I was there! Thanks for subscribing! Hope to see you at the next con!

Why do you need to hide it?
Hmm if they went up a size they could start sticking GiJoes in there. That would be some collab maybe Skyfire Ace combo. He'd be absolutely huge if they made it like the cartoon where he could carry multiple people lol.
To fit the old Joes they'd need to practically double the original's size of it. And I agree it would be massive at that scale. We're talking Fan toys Phoenix scaling if not bigger.

I think you are thinking of the Masterpiece. The canopy doesn't open on this one.
@@ToySpotlitethanks so much for replying, yeah that’s what I was meaning by asking whether this one’s parts opened up or not like the mp one does, still luv this larger version, think it will look amazing beside all my KO mp and KO g1 figures, mostly purchased down to your reviews, thanks.
It should come with a 3 foot tall Zentradi battle pod.
I would love to see a video comparison of this figure to the fans toys Phoenix or the masterpiece skyfire! PLEASE
TMReviews had done the comparison with both.
Hi Captain Size Matters! Good Hunting to All! Like this a lot
Hi Logan! I've had a request to have you in a video!
To me quality matters. And i don't have good experiences with that from Aliexpress.
Sorry you had bad experiences. Ali Express is a marketplace. Some stores are better than others.
@@ToySpotlite Have no Idea how to make that happen but I would be down. You are truly one of my fav and a house fav for your videos. I know we play but I do love your content
Do you have a decent web cam and a microphone? I could have you as a guest on my 5 year celebration livestream.
Great review. If you put each jetfire up against the new Commander Class Optimus, which one -the knockoff or the Siege, is closer in actual scale to the show?
The original Jetfire was a Robotech toy which is why they made him look different in the cartoon and for some reason called him Skyfire.
Honestly looks better in that size! Wish I had room for him.
On a different note why can't we get an OSKO of Windcharger since Hasbro have no interest in making one?
I like the siege version better than the MP and I own both
I wonder if he's the same size as Fan Toys Phoenix but Phoenix was over $250 about 5 years ago. This ko might be better than Phoenix for the price. Phoenix doesn't have light up eyes and I'm not sure if it has a base either. I have both siege and Phoenix but I'm interested in this one.
I saw someone refer to this as "fourth party" which could mean they think it's a KO of Phoenix, but with the added electronics, it would be a step up, I would think.
I just got a Phoenix. So keep an eye out for that review...
them 2 guns may go on the Jet mode
has anyone done an UNDERsized version of this mold??
Not exactly, to my knowledge, but this one is a smaller, cool version of the character: ua-cam.com/video/65S_dUJPMxk/v-deo.html
Curious, if there is a link to purchase the oversize knock off of jet fire
Yes. The links are in the description
Ordered nov 22 and nothing further from Tommy Park ...@@ToySpotlite
Now.. how does this compare to the mp?
You may find out in a future video....
Hey hasbro. Take notice. They filled in the open gaps.
It’s literally 100 percent bigger than the takara
89USD?? IS THAT THE REAL PRICE?
Yes, but notice that the price does not include a box.
Yea I ordered mine how long should it take?@@TommyParkStore
