as far as die cast goes, i have optimus, which is lack laster as far as posing goes, the design is awesome tho, megatron, avoid at all costs lol, and thunder cracker. and i have to say, the problems that megatron and optimus have are non existent with jetfire and thundercrack. no lose joints at all. if you like the way the figure looks but are worried if its going to fall over at the slighest bump, jetfire and thundercracker are ok. they have pretty much replaced the ball joints with snap joints so it could hold better poses. but i don't think the titanium jetfire is anywhere near as possible as the classics one. but man, hes sweet, actually, jetfire only has ball joints at the knees which are not loose at all, and the rest of them are up and down sliding joints, all very solid. my only real compliant about the die cast jetfire is his wings, if you pick him up, your hand can knock off his wings, and his left arm has a shield piece that limites that arms movement cuz the piece hits his wings, but otherwise, if your looking for a more show piece, jetfire works. he doesn't have that problem that optimus has where he can't hold up his own arms, those problem are none exitisant in the new wave of the die cast line. as a show piece, i give jetfire a 5/5, but as a toy that is to be played with, a 3/5 do to the wings falling off and the limited movement of his left arm. if you want, i my be able to get some pics of him up. if you want to know about the thundercracker i can tell you about him too.
