Custom Transformers G1 Jetfire by jin saotome

Posted by Mig on Tuesday, January 22, 2008 @ 9:05 PM | PERMALINK | More Custom Figures: Custom Transformers | Custom Marvel Legends | Custom Star Wars | Custom GI Joe
The Generation 1 version of Jetfire has to be one of my favorite 1980's Transformers. Jin Saotome has revived this Classics Jetfire and made it his own with his Custom Jetfire Generation 1 style. In his own words, he is "Transformers fan request week" and Jin is delivering some 'Fan's Choice' (Star Wars fans would appreciate the reference) customs. I bought this figure and although the Classics line has done a good job recreating this great figure, Jin has take it to the next level. Here are some details on how Jin paid homage to this G1 icon:

"The entire figure has been repainted with all sorts of shading, washes, highlights, metallic gunmetal effects, and more. He comes with three magnetic hands, one gripping, one open palm (Force effect, hah!) and one "thumbs up" hand to show that he's landed in one piece yet again."

Jin's Custom G1 Jetfire is available on eBay so head over to the auction page and bid on this piece of Transformers history.
