Agreed about the shins. I wonder what was up with the previous one having half black, half white... unfinished test shot?

Now all he's missing is some paint on the tail lights, exhaust, and wheels.

I'm eagerly awaiting this guy

I don't think they actually are clip-on. They seem to be attached by some kind of armature in the last shot, and you can see them tucked inside through the windshield in the next-to-last picture.

Guess we'll find out in a month or so won't we?

It's not a toy - it's an "adult collectable" and therefore little more than an ornament.

Not telling ya anything but, it's only lying if you get caught.

It must've been. I remember Cyclonus and Nightstick were victim to this. The earlier pictures of them showed a lot of beige and grey, especially on Nightstick.

Like you said, I wish he'd have some stripes in the rear and some painted tail lights. Minor quibble on my part considering how great this toy looks.

BTW, am I the only one who wants a Stepper repaint just to call him Judge Jazz?

Dai_Ceefax wrote:Agreed wholeheartedly, the Jazz mould is a significant improvement on the Prowl/Smokescreen/Bluestreak toy, whereas a Jazz released a year or two ago would likely have just been a minor retool.

Welcome to the forums BTW! You don't have to be a bit mad to post here, but it helps. Then again, we all collect toys, so we're not going to be well-adjusted

Thanks for the warm welcome! It's nice to have a place where people understand why grown adults refuse to let go of childhood memories. Or don't understand at all and don't care. Either way I'm never growing up.

Swiftpaw wrote:Betting we see a Stepper/Ricochet repaint, just because Hasbro has been so intent on reusing every mold at least twice. Would be even better if they repacked him with like a repaint of Nightstick for approriate targetmaster-ness.
