No kidding... I've been waiting for actual product pictures of Stepper to show up for ages! He looks pretty good, though...

When he finally arrives at BBTS, he'll be the trigger to finally send out my POL (started back to April of this year!)

So is this thing going to see deep clearance like some of the previous exclusives? I'm considering canceling my pre-order and just waiting for it to drop $40 or $60...

Damn he looks good! I would love to have him to go with my Ricochet reissue. He looks far less like a mexican wrestler than the original Stepper.

Not a huge fan of redecos (unless its a seeker, dont ask why) but I like the color sceme on him. Plus, if you ever read his bio, the scowl on the Jazz mold suits him better

Man is he looking great! I cannot wait for him to arrive at BBTS. Just him and Battle Tanker and I can ship my POL! :KREMZEEK:

Badass. One of the few repaints whose existance is justified. Definitely wish he were cheaper in price-point. I know I'll be in profound sadness as I can't afford this guy :-(

It's sooooo pretty.

Anyone have an idea on the price for Stepper.

I'd almost forgotten about this guy. I can't wait!

Now where's my darned Artfire!

Yes, there are pre-orders for him available at most the usual sites. He's running $110-120 most places. I just canceled my pre-order, though...think I'm gonna scope things out for a while and see if the price comes down, at least until stock levels start to thin.

I was not aware that the speakers from jazz/stepper could be used to beef up his gun.

Am i the only one who didnt know this? am gonna dig jazz out now.

So shiny,but too much $$$$ for me. Come on Hasbro, do us a solid and make this happen.

News Credits: 331 · by **chuckdawg1999** » Wed Dec 07, 2011 1:37 pm

Wasn't the price supposed to come down on this guy? $120 is way to high. None of the other toy book exclusives were that high.

I still wish the gunbarrel was golden. But I can live with it.

I'm with Mkall, though, I want an Artfire!

What about his original bio? Wasn't his targetmaster supposed to be a life support do hickey component? It would have been more awesome if Nebulon could have been allowed to be also mounted on Stepper's shoulder too.

News Credits: 2 · by **bionic_radical** » Wed Dec 07, 2011 4:19 pm

Kinda bummed his visor isn't blue like the original mockups. Other than that, I love him.

That was actually a TF Collection retcon. His original bio just mentions his marksmanship and quick temper.

Looks great. Yeah, Artfire is needed. Did Volume 2 for this magazine get announced yet?

by **MGrotusque** » Wed Dec 07, 2011 10:09 pm

Stellar repaint but GADDMAN that price tag is absolutely ridiculous!! Gotta be outta your mind to drop that kinda dough on a 20 dollar figure.

As sweet as it is. No thanks. 50 bucks....tops!
