Love that hand reveal and the way the panel flips out. Really cool that they deviated a bit from the traditional MP pull up the panel pull out the hand close panel method. Nice review Ben. Like this guy.
Do you know where can I get one? this very version? I have been trying to get this but only found the light blue. Any help will be really appreciated. Best JJ
Hi friend, I've been in same boat for few years, regularly check ebay, create a saved search, I managed to get this model with parachute for £85 about an hour ago,... I'm sure more will be coming up as transform element are about to release their own mirage so collecters will be swapping out,..sure you'll get one cheaper over next few months, goodluck and best wishes. Fu75.
If I remember correctly, the original G1 toy also said "CITANES" rather than "GITANES" due to regulations on tobacco livery on children's toys. That's likely why they chose to change it.
The only thing I think they could’ve improved was the design of the feet, especially the spoiler. If they made the spoilers have some type of ratchet joint, it would’ve made it more stable when standing up in robot mode
just seeing the first bits of transformation you can actually fit the car into the trailer by pushing the back wheels of the car inward, i don't know just went threw my mind, will you review Transform and Rollout' not MP jazz. keep doing your best
So much G1 feel. Gorgeous figure, lovely review. :D Invisible is more like a Masterpiece-Generations kind of thing (if that makes any sense) and I still like it more because of it (personally).
+Benscollectables Ah, okay! I was not trying to be rude when I asked the question. So, if that's how I came off, then I do apologize. According to what I found on Wikipedia, the vehicle is a 1979 JS11 and was raced in '79 and '80. The original Diaclone toy mold was designed in 1982. So, with that ... I am thinking that 1986 would have been a little too late. Factoids and minutae aside, I do thoroughly enjoy your reviews!
A great review but as of the end of G creation and X plus Dinobots i am done with third party figures. With that said i will watch your videos and enjoy them.
Put the car down and ROLL IT! Does it rub on bottom? Those front wheels looks all screwed up, ie they sit too high as you say. And they look loose. And if thats true, playing with it in vehicle mode seems kind of ruined. So I guess I'm not sold. That "Invisible" version looks more solid as a car to roll and play with. Overall is sphinx solid? (Besides the front loose-ish wheels)? And is it worth $89-$90? I love transformer cars but not when they dont roll cleanly. Too many of then rub, poorly designed.
Absolutely love this figure.

You can push the Shoulder Panels upward just a notch to allow much better outward arm articulation, a lot a people miss that transformation step.
one of 2015's very best. top 5 at least.
Mightily impressed, what a great figure, the scale and detail is perfect! ^_^
this guy's head scale much better than Invisible! I think he looks better with the other MP's.
may be my fav mp guy i have....insanely awesome
Spinx can fit inside the trailer. The back wheels unlock an can be swung back further; which I admit looks off; but it can still fit if you do that.
Ah cheers , yeah might look a little off lol

My bro just found something similar, how would someone go about selling it?
Did you say that the vehicle mode was based off of a 1986 model?!?
Yeah pretty sure that's when he was racing ... Or at least the livery was being used

Where would the autobot insignia go on this figure don't seem to be much room

Gundog or sphinx?
willis AND sphinx :)
He looks nice, but I still prefer Invisible in my collection of MP Autobots :)
Oh don't get me wrong invisible is awesome
Does invisible roll well or are its wheels loose? I.e. Does the bottom rub?
Love your review, I could be wrong but wasn't it citanes not gitanes in the cartoon
You could be right sir

The Ligier F1 car is not that big, it should be a bit tinier than a Lamborghini murcielago, so the scale is wrong in my opinion
Dude did you order the new optimus prime yet? I think it's called oversized optimus prime with metal parts on ebay. it cost around $95
Yep got one on route
