    AFAIK Zeta don't do fixes, not on the ex-TW moulds they are currently releasing. This will pretty much be a re-hash of TW's efforts, probably with fewer accesories, and minor paint/deco changes

    If things are looser, it will be because of mould degradation or different plastic materials.

    Wow. I was considering purchasing this, but if the gold is just a mustard yellow, the temptation diminishes considerably.

    Would it be too much to ask for a better headsculpt? I mean, that's like 1-3 "parts" max right? But it makes a huge difference...

    So what's the consensus, Jazzy or Coolsville? Which is the best, and captures Jazz the best?

    No targetmaster model yet. Should be after the weekend as i need to finish an overdue project first.

    This is basicly the same mold. I will have all 3 and I will do comparisons. So if you like Collsvile you will like this one.

    Seems to me that Bounceback is a bit more of a....premium? At least thats what my eyes tell me. I doubt I will manage to secure one of them though. What are your thoughts?

    I have no experience with either core mold.

    M2, no Target Master, headbox and the colour seems so off.....IDK if its a better figure the other one ticks a few more boxes.....

    I really hope that orange isn't final, but I fear it may be due to the most recent pic. The previous metallic gold they used looked soooo much better.

    That might be the deciding factor for me. That mustard just isnt cut it.

    No cutting the mustard allowed!

    Seriously tho, that gold looked really nice, and having Downbeat, I was in for the Ricochet from Zeta as a slightly diff mold…
    But not if I have to repaint all that Baby Poop gold.

    I wonder what made them make that change?

    My dictionary on the matter, while spot on, would be characterised as severe profanity so you will have to excuse me as I remain silent.....

    You know guys, I was thinking about the Target Master problem and....I went a little bit Wheeljack crazy.....

    I asked in the Power of the Primes forum about those Prime masters and I think with the right amount of work I can modify one of those Vector Primes to be able to peg in the hand of Rico.....What do you think? Would it look the part?

    IMHO neither Jazzy or Coolsville come close to MakeToys Downbeat in the robot department,BUT both Jazzy and Coolsville make up for it in alt mode.I like the way those have way more detail with emblems and logo's all over.So in my opinion you should get one of each if you have the money.
