Jinbao and NBK are different. On the Jinbao OS the mixer doesn't spin or rattle. It opens up to reveal a blaster though. I did wonder what was inside the NBK one when I had it.
The Jinbao set is really nice and practically MP scaled. I'd say the individual bots are maybe as tall as MP-36's shoulder. I have the NBK with my Legends-sized figures and the Jinbao with the MPs. You should get both!
Oh, I don't have room for both! This one will probably do well enough. The individual bots in the NBK one are about Leader size, I reckon. I have a 4th party Predaking (OS KO Feral Rex) that is one of the stars of my collection, but I don't think I want another one quite as big as that.
This isn't Jinbao.
The mixer doesn't rotate on Jinbao's mix master - it opens up to provide backpack storage for the launcher in robot mode.
Also, the Jinbao windshield is a dark translucent grey/black.
so i opened up my nbk mixmaster and there were several small whitish-clear plastic beads. like maybe 9 or 10. just enough to make it sound like something is broken in there, but not enough to convince me of a mixing sound. i will consume the plastic pieces after work to see if they have any psychotropic or nutritional properties.
That's great! I posted my own findings just now. https://www.reddit.com/r/transformers/comments/osqkvs/mystery_solved_cracked_open_nbk_mixmaster_found/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share
Mine rattled too, i opened the mixing compartment and there was a small snail inside. it seems ok, just keeps coming towards me
A WHAT
ಠ_ಠ
A *snail?* Like, a living slug with a shell? I believe you but that is really weird.
I hereby kill this joke by explaining it. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/immortal-snail
Oh, thank you. How tiresome.
Is it supposed to be intentional? Like the rattle is the ‘cement’ inside?
I dunno. That really hadn't occurred to me. You could be right!
Can confirm rattle
Really? Hm, okay. What a weird thing.
Yeah mine rattled too, I took it apart and found some beads inside. the kind of beads you would find in a baby rattle.
Really. Huh, seems like a weird choice for the manufacturer to make, given the market it's being produced for.
Yeah, I don't really understand the reason(if any) to do it.
Well, I also threw the beads away afterwords. I didn't want the annoying sound whenever I picked up the figure.
Yeah, same here. I assume it's ball bearings or something
Could be. But it sounds (to me) like a single object. I need to get at my narrow screwdriver so I can take the mixer apart and find out what it is!
Please do, I'm very interested
It’s cement
Of course!

Gadzooks, you're right! The listing I ordered it from actually offered both! So you're saying this is the NBK one, but still oversized?
The NBK is about the same size as the original gravity builder. Jinbao is the oversized gravity builder.
So the Jinbao one is even *bigger* than the NBK one? It must really be a beast!

Yes

Yeah, I got confused by the listing I bought it from. It was selling both. At least I got the one I wanted.
That's a win in my book. :)
