    So is that sample painted gold like they were saying the final will be or is it just a test shot with colored plastic? The biggest weakness of their original release was that swirly grey plastic and I'd like to see that rectified with a finish to make him really pop.

    I still don't own Downbeat actually, but love the look of this guy so it was an instant preorder. Especially with that limited number!

    Not a fan at all of the color scheme and no idea if the character is made up or r is based on someone from the toon or comic.

    Easy pass for me. Love downbeat but not really my thing in these colors...

    Yeah it's baffling that the repaint got accurate blue while Jazz get's smokey grey headlights? And the fact that this has blue lights and a ... what, yellowy? ... windscreen puts paid to the theory that it was a moulding/sprue limitation.
    I guess it continues the insane inconsistency on Masterpiece windscreen/glass colouration. It seems impossible for any manufacturer, official or 3P to make up their mind on what colour to portray MP glass parts.

    I emailed MT for the blue lens, twice. No response. On a related note, I emailed Fans Toys about a missing part and got a reply in 50min. FT always responds but this was a new record.

    The character does exist. Stepper (known as Ricochet for the Hasbro reissue) is based on the Japan-only release of the Targetmaster repaint/retool of G1 Jazz.....just like the release of Targetmaster version of Inferno called Artfire. originally released in 1987 as part of the Headmaster/Targetmaster line.
    Stepper was even reissued about 10 years ago during Takara's G1 oy reissue run.

    1987 Original

    Are Artfire and Bounceback the only two obscure manga only Headmaster characters?

    It's messed up that we couldn't get blue headlights for Downbeat. Once this drops I'm thinking of asking Maketoys for a pair of blue headlights so I can install them on Downbeat.

    How difficult do you think it will be to remove and reinstall the headlights on this mold?
