IGEAR PP03-JET by BearMafia

Ladies and Gentleman,
BearMafia here, reviewing one of the PP03 series from IGEAR, IGear

is an up and coming 3rd party toy maker, that caters to

Transformers fans, that which hasbro and takara does not make or

reissue, igears, steps up to the plate, and in this case IGEAR is

stepping up by making an MP class figure to expand the Seeker

lines. PP03 sees the creation of the ConeHeads. so lets get started

Packaging (5/10)

Front

Side

Back

Stickers and Biocard

Comic Book, theres no instructions though.

Blister Packaging

Packaging could be better, it does look cheap and IGears could do

better by making it look somewhat similar and durable to

Takaratomy packaging :)

Robot Mode (8/10)


The Face....sorry for it being blurry

view from the back...not much to look at.

pose 1 :P

do you feel lucky? punk?

i had energon for lunch and oil for drinks,...hmm whats for dinner.?

Shall i imitate Starscream or Quote something from Macbeth?

The Robot mode is just as amazing as the Takara Tomy Seekers, the

articulation is just the same as well, infact everything is the same

(hehe). however the little difference they have is in the weaponry

and design of the jet and design of the individual ConeHeads.

Alternate Mode (9/10)



The Alternate mode is quite stunning and beautiful. it redefines of

who ramjet was and multiplies it, its such a beautiful jet, in fact i

would rather display it in Jet mode most of the time. Well Done

IGEARs.


Aesthetics (7/10)

PP03, boasts the awesomeness of the G1 mold from the cartoon,

you could say its G1 brought to life with much improvement in

details..huhuhu i like alot .

Articulation (7/10)

like a standard Masterpiece toy, articulation is emphasized to all

parts of the Alt mode and Robot mode. it can do cartwheel poses :)

Design (8/10)

He is engineered and emulated from it’s G1 counterpart and

magnified to MP class, the toy very much pays G1 homage quite

accurately.

Gimmicks (8/10)

articulated fingers

Chest Missiles


Nose Cone Fuselage Connector

Rotating Afterburners

Foldable Tail Fin Flaps.

Fully Loaded Arsenal.

Landing Gears

Dr Evil in the Cockpit.

if you have a TakaraTomy Seeker, then you know what to expect.

Paintjob (7/10)

Dominantly Red, Black and White. Spot on colors based on his G1

homage, refer to the cartoon and gentei/classic toys for reference.

Fun Factor (7/10)

If the Gentei/Classics version brought you much fun, imagine an

MP size version of the toy, with stunning transformation, and a

beautiful alt mode. it just multiplies the fun to MP CLASS..woo

hoo..

Complexity (8/10)

How Complex the TakaraTomy Seekers were, it is equal and just the

same, in fact you should expect the same level of difficulty and

transformation.

Value (8/10)

Is it a worth buy? as an MP collector, value, price and size often are

an issue, and usually IGEARs have a Size to Price Ratio that are

quite off at times, in this case, the size and price value of the

coneheads are quite affordable and spot on, compared to the rest

of the line IGEAR has, so is this a WORTH BUY? it definitely is and

im looking forward to completing my set.

Problem?
yep there are a few flaws. here they are.


this particular part comes off when pressure is applied and the

flaps that are suppose to fold out, are very tight....

The Display stand slides are very tight and can be difficult to come

on and off.

Overall (8/10)

It is a welcoming addition to the Masterpiece Line, disregarding the

flaws and all, IGEAR has made an amazing version of the

coneheads, the plastic is durable and it doesnt feel cheap, really

amazed. and it definitely pays its G1 Homage. it is complex and

durable, the fun is there , the jet mode is so stunning, the gimmicks

are equal to that of TakaraTomy's. the price is affordable and all in

all. as an MP collector im quite please with what IGEAR has done.

NUFF SAID
