I really dig these two, but I want my Brainstorm to have his mtmte mouthplate :-(

EDIT: sorry for the double post, I don't know what happened :-/

 

Looks like Unique Toys is really pumping these out and may have these to NA retailers as early as next week.

 

Me too. If they release a Highbrow I really hope that they pack extra heads for Hardhead and Brainstorm so they look more like their IDW character designs.

Really? That would be great news! I guess we will soon find out what the follow up set to Bluecat and Naughty will be.

 

This is the best design solution for Mindwipe's two modes I've ever seen.
The general look and proportions of bot and bat are both outstanding.

It's tiny, but they did it better than anybody so far. Both of the modes look really great as far as following the cartoon look.
I'm a big fan of Mindwipe but I have not been able to buy any since I don't think they are all that successful at looking like Midewipe (although FP's Sigma L is a fine toy doing its own thing) and still consider the G1 toy the only one that actually looks like his cartoon appearance in both modes.

 

They look super cool - I'm wondering if they can turn their heads... I know Tom & Jerry couldn't.

 

In stock at BBTS now.

 

The YM-03 set arrived today and I really like Mindwipe. Simple, tidy transformation and everything pegs together nicely in bat mode. Bot mode continues trend of having waist swivel and ankle pivot but no head swivel.

Brainstorm is probably my least liked of the 6 figures so far. Points for having a cool transformation, but jet mode is pretty bad, and bot mode has some annoying flaps that heavily block shoulder articulation. Incidentally they are the same pieces that are supposed to keep the alt mode stable (but they don't really).

 

Yeah, while I still like Blue Cat I agree that he's the weakest of the six. I think they maybe got too ambitious with the transformation. It's very clever, almost in a Jizai sort of way, but I think both modes may have benefited from something simpler at this size.

Regardless, I love all six of these things to pieces and they are my favorite set of headmaster toys. Pure fun.

 

Aw, too bad Brainstorm is my favorite of the original Headmasters. But glad you still love all six.
Now we just need a Highbrow.

 

No word yet on any new releases after these two?

 

Not yet.

 

hoping for some horrorcons

 

Judging by how few replies this thread has maybe these didn't sell so great?

 

...i love legends-scale figures, but the unarticulated heads killed my interest, honestly...

 

I got mine today, and I find both are great. even Brainstorm looks great.

Hasn't anyone found a solution for the head rotation on shapeways yet?
All it would take would be a head with a ball joint instead of the tiny headmaster .. head
(as far as the ball diameter is as wide as the entrance/hole it should work fine).

They could have sold two heads for each bot.
Maybe they could add all the heads with Highbrow?

Also, it would be a real bummer if we never got Highbrow to go with these.

Could/would someone who uses facebook inquire about this on their official page?

 

YES! I really like the line but you can't turn their heads? Come on...

 

Bluecat and Naughty are really nice. Like Naughty much more than i thought i would.

Only gripe i have is brainstorms eyes are a different colour, darker blue, to chromedome and hardhead.
All six of these guys standing together is great.

More, more, more

 

Mine are in Chicago. I'll let you know what I think when they get here, but weiedwolf is o e of my favorite toys ever. Looking forward to these two.

 

Maybe? I don't know about anyone else but I'm just waiting for a few more items before I ship them. I really liked the first set and I love Hardhead (even though I'm not a fan of the faceplate head design). These two would have to be pretty bad for me to drop the line. I can't imagine that.

 

Yeah don't get me wrong, I like them myself. I'm just surprised but the apparent lack of interest on these forums.
