Transformers Reissue: Stepper (Complete/Boxed)

Stepper was reissued as part of Takara’s Transformers Collection series, and almost simultaneously by Hasbro in their Commemorative Series (see below). This version of the figure featured a bolstered arsenal that now included golden-chromed versions of Jazz’s weapons; additionally, Nebulon was retooled with a slender peg extension to allow Stepper to actually hold him in his hand.

The reissue also featured some small remolding, with the easily-broken plastic clasp that held Stepper’s legs in being altered to a more sturdy pin and solid plastic holder combination. Also, the mold degradation that had plagued Jazz’s head sculpt since the days of the Generation 2 toyline—which had reduced his face to a distorted grimace—was finally amended, restoring the figure’s original appearance. This restored tooling was subsequently used for the Transformers Encore reissue of Jazz.

Released in 2004, Stepper was a Japanese exclusive figure, until Hasbro reissued him in their Commemorative Series line as Ricochet. This is also the first time that the figure had been reissued in Japan as well. The figure is in great shape, nothing broken, all accessories still on the trees, stickers un-applied, and instructions still in the baggie. The box does show a slight bit of wear from age/storage, but will still display very well. The booklet is also still attached to the box well.

Don’t miss your chance to own this great figure at a great price.
