thanks for the review. if i was into headmasters, i definitely would pick this up. looks like a good quality 3rd party set.

 

Can he still transform with the headmaster still attached?

 

Thanks for the review. I grabbed the last Universe Hardhead that I've seen in the area a couple weeks ago for $25. I was on the fence about this, but this video combined with the eBay prices for the G1 guns helped me make my decision to order it. The eBay prices just for the guns are out of control. Ordering this is cheaper and it comes with more. It will start a new PoL for me so I won't get it until they get the next waves of Generations/Shield/Pursuit of Cobra singles.

 

Cool kit but I'm a bit disappointed the face is showing on Hothead's back in robot mode. A little panel should have flipped down to cover it like on regular deluxe Headmasters.

 

Hmmm, seems like a rather minor issue IMO. It's not like the original G1 "flap" covered the entire head. Seemed rather silly to me. Almost like pretending there isn't a HM face. The face is just part of the HM gimmick. You can't really get around the issue. That panel "flap" has been more of a band-aide.

 

It wasn't a band-aid for me. To leave the face visible is just lazy engineering.

 

Eh, I just don't understand how it's lazy engineering. That's me, though. Rather minor in the scheme of HM toys. I think all the work put into this upgrade is amazing. I'm not gonna lose any sleep over the "face showing" aspect.

 

I'm having issues with the new head. As soon as I attach it and squeeze the two parts together, if I try turning it, the head splits open a bit and becomes loose. There doesn't seem to be a way to close the head around the neck and be able to turn it without loosening the way it holds together. Is there something I'm not doing right?

 

Awesome upgrade kit. I haven't been able to put Hardhead down since I got mine last Thusday. The face being visible in the ittle robot mode doesn't bother me at all since I'll rarely be taking it off the body anyway.

Bring on more Headrobots!
