Downtown was originally supposed to be Short Fuse V2.
I've always thought Night Vulture was a discarded sculpt for Snake Eyes. Are there other figures that started out as one character - but ended up as someone else? |

Well, Hasbro made good on that in the NF set by using the Downtown mold to make NF Short Fuse.

50th Tombstone was supposed to be a G3 Transformer.

No. That's what Mark Weber said in that recent podcast.

Unfortunately, only the preproduction figures appeared that way, because they were all changed to the cartoon Action Man character prior to the set hitting retail. Action Man became the only NOT Night Force figure to appear in that boxed set.

Working names for OVERLORD indicate he started out as a new Cobra Commander. Better than did not happen, as that's not a good look for Cobra Commander.

Sure, the 1991 Tracker figure was finally being released again in decent colors (and with the Night Force logo appearing on his chest), intended as part of the Night Force boxed set sold at Toys R Us in 2004.

I never knew that about Downtown, kind of a shame they didn't make it Short-Fuze.
