    They should do a Cannonball deco on this mold.

    Yeah he was a HUGE shelf warmer. I never bought this guy, if it's not a TRU Exclusive I may get it. TRU exclusives are usually really expensive. Especially if Darkwing ends up being one there too, I would get him over Countdown.

    not really feeling the blue/red combo. i think Solid Blue would have looked a lot nicer.

    would have loved to see the rocket remolded as a cannon for an IDW Hardhead

    Yes, it's been stated as being Countdown countless times.

    And no, he won't have a new head.

    Next up should be.... UNIVERSE ONSLAUGHT redecoed as HARDHEAD.

    Seconded... that is the perfect redeco of Onslaught.

    Personally I think it'll happen eventually, in some form. I doubt it is coincidental that Universe Onslaught looks so much like IDW Hardhead. I only hope they go the extra mile and give him a new head.

    Cool! Funds pending I'll probably pick this guy up. I like the mold in spite of its poor arm articulation.

    This should do a fair bit better than Red Alert, I think one of that toy's shelf warming qualities was the bland white color scheme and this looks far more interesting. I was SO hoping for Doubledealer though...

    Yes. Give him at LEAST a new head and it'll work great.

    Though it'll still be good without a new head.
