WOW! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE.

 

Maybe they ran out of regular heads?

Does this make mine more valuable? Like an error card?

 

Huh. I think this is somehow an error with some figures because I've seen images on Instagram of MB-11 without a faceplate.


Definitely contact BBTS to see if you can get it swapped because that's really disappointing. Hope you can get it sorted out.

 

Is Barricade on the list of reissues? Which is a better figure, Hasbro Deluxe Barricade or TakaraTomy Barricade?

 

Dang. That sucks, but thanks for sharing. I decided to keep my preorder after finding out about the lack of dark gray paint, but with the risk of getting one of those, and already owning APS-01U, I might have to cancel.

 

If you have APS-01U I'd say you don't need to spend your money on MB-11. If you really want the faceplate I'd suggest finding a junker Prime off eBay and doing a little paint work.
That's my plan at least once I find the money to afford APS-U  

 

Yes, just get a head from the original plain Jane rotf leader prime. It's a perfect color match. I put the face on my old one into my APS-01U. You'll probably want to add a little silver paint, then it's perfect.

 

My MP Clamp Down came with a Sideswipe style head instead of the Red Alert style that he should have, but I like it because he's toy accurate. I assume that some old stock parts end up in the mix from time to time. Or they messed up gating the mould perhaps? I would like to think that they'd be worth a little bit more but they're not quite as cool as an old Gibson guitar factory spare parts special except to weirdos like me. Depends on the collector I guess. We're all nuts anyway.

I hope that I've used up all my wrong head mojo already, I really want my MB-11 with a faceplate. But I won't find out until I ship MP Dirge.

No Barricade in Movie Best. I'm guessing because the Masterpiece is coming.

The original Hasbro and Takara Barricades from 2007 are identical IIRC.

Now BBTS offered to have me send them the current head and they will send me a replacement head. Question I pose is this is my only Leader Prime of this mold and I kind of like both the faceplate and mouth versions of the head. What would you guys do? Keep the head with the mouth or send in for the faceplate version?

 

I'd keep it, then buy a junker RotF Leader Prime off eBay or a member here and get the face plate that way. The original release of the mold has the same color of blue. So it works!
