Today I take a more thorough look at, and transform the Jinbao Aircraft Battlers 3 pack. Get these figures here: www.tf-direct.... Music courtesy of bensound.com
Still the most clever transformation I have ever seen for the f15 style decepticon seekers. Amazing work from JinBao, will definitely look for other molds of theirs in the future 🙌🏽
Thanks man, Just got mine sat. works great in my Cybertron display to show distance. I like the size it's a change to the Og. molds that we've all seen a million times.
Good review. A little off screen at some part but good nevertheless. Been thinking of getting this one myself along with jinbao megatron. They sell it here in the Philippines for $30 for the seekers and $16 for megatron, depending on the exchange rate. I think this will go nicely with jinbao prime in the shelf.
While my other 2 seekers are great, my Skywarp had some CQ issues: A translucent bit keeps falling off his canopy, one of his fists pegs loose, and the one that put a dagger in my heart... one of the joints of the chest pieces was so tight the section sheered off trying to move it. Starscream and Thundercracker I transformed first with no issue. I took my time flipping those chest sections out with all of them. I put my fingers as close to the joints as I can to give them even pressure... but that one on Skywarp wouldn't budge without a little pressure and that's all it took for it to sheer.
Wondering what that little hidden port on the right forearm was for...maybe fits the stand? Just found this set is now called df 06 reborn (new version). Seems about the same except the shins look different and the stand piece is longer. The tail pieces are really loose in jet mode, can't tell if I'm missing something or not. 😀
@@NiccoH34db4ng I just received the Reformatted versions of these guys. No more front landing gear. They redesigned the lower legs and rear landing gear, and the engine intakes no longer pivot forward in robot mode. They are still great, and I like the new lower legs. I feel as though they stand better now too. Enjoy and thanks for watching!
Mine fit the port for the included flight stands, not sure why they don’t work here, however I do know I have the V2 version of the seekers, so maybe that’s a change that occurred
So, you have jets that come with flight stands...... That you can't use in jet mode. Nifty! Now there's the Chinese product quality of my youth! Did it bless you with a feeling of nostalgia when that stand didn't fit? Lol
Ordered these 2 weeks ago and they just arrived. They fixed the flight stand peg; works great in jet or bot mode various poses etc. Looking at your box here, I didn't notice anything that would indicate these are any different, but aside from including a working stand peg, they altered some of the line work on the wings. Yours (original) have a flat rectangle next to your decepticon symbol, whereas the newer versions have new line work deco in that spot that puffs out a little. The newer box set also does not come with any of the original blast effects or colored thruster effects; instead each get two jet thruster effects and they're all a clear yellow. Bummed over that but it's not a deal breaker. Haven't noticed any other changes yet. Great review, thanks!
I heard that Jinbao was sued by Newage in China so they re released this set as Rebirth. With some changes from original newage mold. New version cheap out the landing gears on the leg, and reshaped the foot with tiny wheel part, also shoulder intake parts now are fixed in place and can not be moved to different angles like old version.
The front landing gear is in the figures forearm, rotate a small panel open to access it. The rear landing gear pull out from the lower front leg sections.
I actually don’t own them any longer. I don’t really collect legends scale figures and I bought these on a whim. While I owned them though I had zero issues with them.
That's a bummer for certain. Where did you buy them from? Show Z Store and TF-Direct have pretty good customer service departments. Might be worth an email if you bought it from one of them to see if they can replace it.
Your voice, Jinbao heard.
The set I bought 2 days ago, has peg stand that reaches the warplane mode hole. :)
wow you even mention the that one step that broke the toy, thanks man now i know
Yeah I felt it was important to highlight; thanks for watching!
So, he's more posable than mp52 lol. Cool. Not only waste rotation, hello Takara, but also A DAMN AB CRUNCH!

@@rane9096 These are a lot of fun and great bang for the buck as the saying goes. Thanks for watching!

Great review, I was contemplating buying these guys on Aliexpress and now I know that I want to get them. Looking forward to more reviews. :)
Thanks for watching!
@@superactionguy6000should I buy them?
I find it funny how a 3rd party figure this small can beat the masterpiece seekers (mp52) in terms of articulation and kibble management.
Yeah I wish they could just scale some of these up with better plastic. Case in point MFT City Commander 2.0
Thanks man, made me convinced to get them!
This legend size could be like mpm scale
As for the flightstand, they don't have to make it longer. They should make a piece with a longer plug that plugs into the existing plug.
That's like saying. It's not wet, it just isn't dry, duh! Lol
good video to follow when I transform my seekers.
You could mod the flight stand using Lego maybe to make the post longer or to make an extension piece
Helped me out a ton. I was having trouble with the transformation
Glad to hear, and thanks for watching!
Thanks for reviewing these seekers.
I just bought them on aliexpress.😀

Nice review dude! I love it. Keep it up. Looking forward for more brutal and honest reviews. 👍
Thanks!
So these are KOs of Newage seekers. Btw the wings are supposed to pivot down to sit lower in robot mode.
While my other 2 seekers are great, my Skywarp had some CQ issues: A translucent bit keeps falling off his canopy, one of his fists pegs loose, and the one that put a dagger in my heart... one of the joints of the chest pieces was so tight the section sheered off trying to move it.

Contact your seller, I've heard that Jinbao is great at providing replacement parts.
Pretty solid review, thank you.
this is a amazing review
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
Awesome video it was hard for me to transform them with my Vienna sausage fingers!! LOL

I was hoping that JinBao or some company make voyager size versions.
Just got these for 20€,I think that they are the best G1 seekers from a price/quality perspective.

@@superactionguy6000 I'd wish Jinbao made more of these because I think that the legend stuff from Magic Square is often overpriced.
@@NiccoH34db4ng Prices on these legends scale figures are getting sky high now it seems. They used to be “reasonable” years ago.
Thank you so much for the detailed review, helps an adolescent make careful financial decisions with his wage cage paycheck.
Glad it was helpful!
Good review I'm waiting for mine to come home.
Thanks!
@@superactionguy6000 you welcome my friend
Mine fit the port for the included flight stands, not sure why they don’t work here, however I do know I have the V2 version of the seekers, so maybe that’s a change that occurred
Thanks for body transformation tips. Going to brake it without it
Great review great review

Hello! I want to buy this set, but before I would like to know how is the quality of the plastic... Is it good? Does it feel like it breaks easily?
Feels pretty good overall, it's hard to describe a feel to plastic but it's not soft. I have no complaints about it.

Thanks for watching, and for the comparison! If you don’t mind sharing with the folks who watch this, where did you order your set from?
Hey My Friend do You Think Rainmaker Sunstorm will ever get a Repaint in the Earthrise Mold F-15 Military Jet Fighter?
I’m not certain, but that would be cool to see get made! Thanks for watching.
I noticed that some boxes with DF-06 just say DF-06, while some say DF-06 "Reborn". I wonder what the difference is, if any.

In my country they offered 15-20 USD my serious haha
Great, I am expecting the delivery of mine to arrive soon. I have a question though, do the models have retractable landing gear?
They do! I totally forgot to show that off too. Thanks for reminding me.
@@superactionguy6000 Cheers
The front landing gear is in the figures forearm, rotate a small panel open to access it. The rear landing gear pull out from the lower front leg sections.
@@superactionguy6000 Very kind of you, thanks
Really sucks I can't use the flightstand 😔
On the TFW2005 forum someone found a way to mod it but I wasn't certain how he did it.
cool
Modify the stand for the flight mode
How are they holding up?
I actually don’t own them any longer. I don’t really collect legends scale figures and I bought these on a whim. While I owned them though I had zero issues with them.
what class is it in bot mode
Does anyone knows how to contact Jinbao?
Try the forums on TFW2005. They might point you in the right direction there.
Do they have light piping?
Plus their heads are on smaller pedestals than mp11. Lol
So these are just KO’s of Newage?
Essentially, yes.
you tried to put it in wrong hole bro😂
my skywarp's chest broke off :(
That's a bummer for certain. Where did you buy them from? Show Z Store and TF-Direct have pretty good customer service departments. Might be worth an email if you bought it from one of them to see if they can replace it.
@@superactionguy6000 Jinbao has ben great and sending replacement.
@@obiphenom Do you have contact info for them that you wouldn’t mind posting?
Kinda overprice for 45 bucks I got mine for 25 with shipping fee
Where?
I actually got paid to take the set. True story!
