XRS Rocket Racing Jackson Storm Review

Today, I'm going to be taking a look at the XRS Rocket Racing Jackson Storm with Blast Wall. I already discussed my thoughts on this new series in general yesterday, but, to sum it all up, In my opinion, these cars are obviously very gimmicky. They have ridiculous designs, and look pretty goofy. Despite all this, they aren't bad. They're well-made cars diecasts, they have cool little details, like the racer's initials on their hood, and bolts on their windows, and they include  a "Blast Wall," which can really be used for a lot of things, considering how simple its design is.

Jackson Storm is probably my Rocket Racer favorite in terms of looks. While most of the cars in this series look really odd without spoilers, Jackson doesn't look all that bad. He keeps his usual expression (Storm's expression hasn't really changed throughout the XRS realeses), and has it's full of nice touches, like a bolted-up panel on his side. The back of Jackson has been modified as well, as it has been extended for this "Rocket Race," and that also looks pretty good.




Once again, I feel like the flames shooting out of the back of Jackson really takes away from the car. The way they are angled, in addition to just how huge they are really looks strange....but, hey, they spin when you roll him, so...

Jackson also includes a blast wall, and, like I said earlier, it's a simple design that can be useful for many things, both play, and display. You can race Jackson and watch him crash through the wall, or use it a pit-stop barrier, or a border on the race track.

In the end, this Jackson is pretty okay. He's my favorite of these new Rocket Racers, but the series isn't a favorite of mine. Thanks for checking out this post, and make sure to check back soon for more reviews! Bye, now!
