    ...Because I am the one selling them :lol 

    The toys are here, but there was an issue with the packaging, so we're redoing that and the plan is still to ship them out mid-/late-May.

    Nice!

    I really like this release. Might just get it for G1 HH since I don't have classics HH.

    I'd love to see how the backwards compatibility works. I've been wondering since day 1 about whether or not it was backwards compatible and if it were how it could possibly work.

    I was going to get it anyhow, but this news certainly rules. Great, resourceful design.

    That is a great idea mking this compatible with G1 Hardhead. To bad I just got rid of mine. Where can I purchase Hot Head from? Do/will BBTS have them?

    I'm already sold, and jumped at the chance when I saw it on BBTS, but the last thing I gotta know is if it goes just from head to robot or is there maybe gonna be some sort of pieceformer here using those extra weapons

    nice. its nice to see some stores on this site talking with the fans. as someone mention before it would be really nice to see a destro chrome version. btw, i had a question earlier about the other cobra head add ons. it was below from an earlier post,
    there should be a cobra sign printed on the blue cobra commander snake head add on. come on!
    BTW what version is this? i email toyarena and got no reply to my question? so i need help from the boards. i know the regular version is green. but this one is gray. the card didnt look like the one from the con exclusive. any ideas?

    Adding the Cobra logo would have been cool, but it would have also been trademark infringement, and that's something we wanted to avoid.

    The version you linked to is a prototype. It's what the original colors were going to be before they were switched to green. The cons exclusive just repackages the prototype with a different card.

    yes makes sense about not putting on the cobra logo. hey whatever keeps the good stuff for sale is fine with us. thanks for info on the other snake head add ons. the info you gave me finally clear things up for me. the seller decided to not respond back. so thanks for helping me out. it gets confusing trying to collect all the different color versions.

    the toy arena store seller finally responded, so the gray version is a cons exclusive or just a different run? he never said prototype and there both for sale? he said the following below:

    Hi,

    The following is the green version:

    Transformers Headrobot Headmaster Cobra Mini Figure NEW - eBay (item 230468463581 end time May-29-10 15:51:12 PDT)

    The gray version is below:

    Transformers Headmasters G1 Custom Head Cobra Gray NEW - eBay (item 350347176881 end time May-27-10 22:02:48 PDT)


    Thanks,
    ToyArena

    The grey version is the prototype version, they have a different insert card for the CONS convention.

    This is probably a ridiculous question, but is this head PAINTED or am I going to have to paint it myself??

    I don't see how the head could work for both Hothead and Hardhead unless it comes unpainted and you paint it yourself...?
