Review:
Rainbow Jerk is a lovely mixture of colours, with a purple and silver body, gold beak, crest, feet, top of the wings and middle of the tail, white on the face and wings (feathers), and to complete it green caps and orange cockpit and eyes. This Zoid is truly beautiful, and the way its tail can spread out like a peacock and its wings can be extended or folded back is great - the Zoid can look beautiful and majestic, and it helps a lot when sitting it on a Zoid-crowded shelf with not much room. Rainbow Jerk is the only Genesis Zoid I have right now. Apart from extending the tail and wings, Rainbow Jerk's head and neck can move up and down (moving the head down extends the wings if built correctly), and its feet and legs can move back for flight or forwards for standing, and the bottom part of the beak can move down for squawking. Of course the cockpit canopy can be opened to let out the pilot. Now this wonderful model isn't perfect. When the tail is retracted the stickers (the tail stickers are the only decals I've applied right now) occasionally get caught and you have to be careful. Also, when you look at the tail pieces, they probably slightly scratched even if they have only been extended and retracted two or three times. The tail is easy to extend though, you just need to life up the main piece. Another down point is that the Rainbow Jerk's eyes are small orange pieces that could easily get lost of they fell off. One of mine is secure, but the other falls off frequently and I plan to superglue it or something. Another thing that falls off frequently is the top part of the beak, but it is easy to reattach unlike Fire Phoenix's. Despite these drawbacks, this Zoid has a lot to offer so I shall still give it a high rating.
