FWI-3 Jet Power Upgrade Kit + Transformers Optimus Prime

"Fans Want It" or FWI for short is a third party company which is dedicated to produce add on parts for leader class transformers figure from the movie series. When Takara/Hasbro first introduced the Jetfire Prime, a lot of fans lamented that it was far from being movie accurate including myself. After waiting for more than a year, FWI came out with their own version of the jet power parts and it was something to behold.

I have my doubts in purchasing this since I have never dealt with any third party Transformers product before but boy was I glad that I actually took the plunge. The jet power parts were not something which were fabricated from the parts of the leader class Jetfire. It was made solely on the idea of a perfect jet power parts for Optimus and it managed to achieved that flawlessly. The parts snap on Optimus without much of an issue. The matte finishing was a bit lacking but still fits the job nicely. My only complaint regarding this add-on parts is the price tag. I bought this upgrade kit at around USD90 which was equivalent to half of the price for Optimus. Despite being expensive, it was still money well spent.
