Jazzinc 1/6 Batman 1989 Batmobile

[bman89]

As someone who hasn’t given up on Jazz and would consider ordering again, I think the question that needs to be answered is,

What exactly are the quality standards of a Jazz Inc product?

Because it seems undefined to me. Respectfully, it sounds great to say that QC is within 2% but what does that matter if factory standards are low?

Is orange peel, sanding scratches, body indentations, cracked seams, loose wheels, etc etc all considered acceptable quality for Jazz vehicles? Because these issues keep cropping up, even with favorable reviews. What quality can customers reasonably expect for the money they’re being asked to spend? Because being told after the fact that many of these issues are within QC standards is really off-putting and makes me wary about ordering future products.

Just my two cents from someone who is on the fence but would like to see Jazz succeed.

Depending on the industry you can fall into different types. ISO9xxx is the global standards for quality control, I come from GxP background in Biotech so it’s a bit more stringent with FDA legislation and global health and safety laws but both have guidelines and set standards.

Not sure if Jazzinc falls into either but for most companies it’s an internal number they would set if not falling under these types of specifications.

Which means it’s up to him internally to set for his manufacturing processes you mentioned. To also clarify, you are describing minor defects and not faulty product which the difference is one leads to functional/ hazard or harm (major/critical). I’ll leave that alone for it to be answered by the source.

I have every Batmobile, Star Wars vehicle and diorama he has built and not had one (1) issue in over a decade. If his track record was bad, he would never have gotten this far with producing product. Also DC would not continue to license him for crap product.

It’s overblown, and the most noise is from people that don’t own the product and never will. He is making 2,000 cars so that’s over $3M in spend.

We will let this play out, cause at that volume if it is bad then it’s pretty much over not producing at that volume. I’ll stand with the product and think it will be fine and the chirping should calm down when more people get it in hand to stop the noise from a select few with it in hand today. Less than 10% have it right now, let’s see what it looks like when there’s 50% and above, probably quiet and the peanut gallery will move on the Catwoman to try and drag down.

22’ love cause I just put it out on the shelf….perfection.

It would be nice to keep socials and fantasy land off the board. This hobby is just turning into a shills vs thrills space. If someone doesn't find faults and likes something too much (shill) vs. trying for the shock lane to down thing negatively in a vengeful way (Thrills).

The tribals are also easy to spot, don't think for a second there is not coordination on much that goes on.

Okay, all the drama aside - Shills vs Thrills would be an awesome band name.
