    Would love to see Cheets do the Override head on a Blurr body! Some of these are just plain goofy but others are pure awesome! Loving the shells

    Yeah, galvatron' faceplate has been a right git!

    It's hard to blend the toy/toon style on him like you've nailed on these Trent and Orize - it's a hard one to get the crown and crest right on as well because of it being in essence half a head!

    It's great seeing everyone's take on this :)

    May I ask what the sandstone's like? Is it durable or would I be better off going with the plastic one and painting it?

    Precisely. 'Sandstone' doesn't sound very durable, but I could be wrong.

    I'm getting some heads eventually anyway when the new material becomes publicly available, because Blur just doesn't fit the mould for me.

    Sandstone is a rigid material with a fine sandstone like surface. It is best compared to a ceramic figurine in terms of durability and is fine for display but isn't really a good match for play. I've had a few fall off shelves onto carpet and be fine, but sandstone is certainly more for display pieces than proper toys.

    There's a new coated version that is supposed to make the colors more vibrant and the end product more durable, but I haven't been able to try that out yet.

    For reference, this is a sandstone print. The figure is the same size as a Battle Beast:

    Awesome! Let me know how the fit works, and I look forward to pictures if possible!

    What's your custom, just out of curiosity?

    There's always a chance for combiner heads, though the ones that didn't get coverage in CW would be first.

    I'd need to know what kind of head attachment Windblade uses to answer that question, the TM faces have the advantage of a single attachment system that doesn't potentially interrupt transformation, so its trickier.

    However, some people discovered that you can replace most CW limb heads, at least, with slightly modified titan masters, as shown in this tweet.

    I was able to make this back-of-the-head-connector for people wanting to do new heads for the Swindle/Brawn sized connector.

    I can try and make similar ones for the other size connectors, but my selection of figures to measure is somewhat thin. Alpha Bravo and Ironhide both have different sized necks. If anyone can tell me what figures have Alpha Bravo sized neck-joints and which ones have Ironhide-sized ones, I might be able to help at least with Windblade for multiuse face/head connectors.

    I'll have to work up Lezoack for Silverbolt/Cylconus/Scattorshot specifically for that mold if I do it. Currently tallying the modeling and parts testing needs against my desire to do it.

    I am planning on doing a couple more. I'll shuffle them up the priority list.
