Who made you a moderator.
I have been on the forum a bit longer that you, I know when to quote and not to quote. Cheers

Wanted this little fella for quite some time now as I love the idea of a Transformers detective, glad to finally get my hands on one! And before people start crying, I never wanted a MISB Nightbeat (don't believe in keeping them boxed up) but this one just so happened to come along at a price that was better than many MIB/loose Nightbeat's I've seen. :D

Fantastic toy of a great character. One interesting thing I've noticed with my Nightbeat is his chin is yellow! When google image searching 'G1 Nightbeat' I can only find pictures of him with an orange chin, no pics or anything mentioned about a yellow one anywhere! I think it's kinda cool, he's got a robo-goatie! :D Anyone know if mine is unique?

Awesome. And no - I haven't seen a beat-poet Nightbeat like that before. Maybe it's just the photo, but his face also looks really red compared to my Nightbeat, like he's been holding his breath.

*nods* that face looks too red, it should be orange - and yeah, the chin should be the same colour as the rest of the face.. I hope that this is some kind of variant and not a KO. There's no such variant as far as I know or can ascertain. :/

Maybe at some point while making the French/Dutch batch of Nightbeats they ran out of chin paint. And that TFU.info Nightbeat's chin looks kind of yellow too.

EDIT: Regarding my Nightbeat, this web page reveals all: http://highendtfs.com/?q=node/15#0.1_1

It's official Hasbro but it's a Chinese 90's reissue. :/ Going to see if I can return it and get my money back. *sigh*
