    Jazz was the first transformer I owned as a kid. I just got my first Maketoys (Starscream) just to see how I like the size and quality. While, transforming was a bit of a hassle, I still think Downbeat will be on my list to get in the near future...

    Bringing this back up. I just got a toyhaxed Downbeat off ebay & just realized that it didn't come with any of the extra faces pictured on the box. Is there any way to track down additional faces, either originals or community homebrews? I recall the Zeta/TW's had some folk doing custom faces & wasn't sure if MT got any of that love.

    that's a good question. i wouldn't imagine so, but a person probably wouldn't know until they try it.

    The V2 description reads “3 alternative faces” which to me means 1+3, but videos I’ve watched suggest there are a total of 3 faces, which are the same as those included with V1.

    Can confirm--it's just the three faces. Regular, yelling and Elvis-face.

    oh dear. Guess that's going to complicate life then. dang. Mine is most likely the V1 due to the swirly plastic feet/leg panels. all I got with my figure was the default stoic face.

    The re-issue comes with 2 faces in the box and obviously one on the figure. I had the box out and took a photo of the faces on the packaging and the two loose faces.

    My copy is the re-issue. I don’t have the original release figure so I cannot do a comparison.

    Question for the premium owners, do the front hips have those sticker details on them right out of the box? Or do they have that light blue painted details on them like the original release?
    I've always admired this figure though never owned it. Was never a fan of the swirly gray plastic on its legs & feets. The silver premium looks sooo much better but prefer the light blue details on the hips of the original release

    Yes. Im not sure if it's a sticker, or really well applied paint. I really don't want to dig at it and find out.

    Long shot but is there any kind of email contact for Maketoys? The heel spur on his right foot has snapped off and i was hoping to get replacement from them. I know their status is very shaky at the minute but I'm assuming there is likely a way to contact them?
