The latest new upgrade kit from third party group CrazyDevy continues their trend of producing third party upgrades for third party upgrades. This time out they are bringing out a Bruticus head for the FansProject Colossus set (aka the FansProject Bruticus). This head has light up eyes, and boasts it not only fits inside the original Onslaught figure in his non-combined modes, but that it is also fully compatible with the original ball joint. It's due for a release in July priced at just shy of $30.

Ugh, not again...

Dikeme Mutombo wouldn't like this.

I saw 30 bucks and laughed thinking it was just for the barrels. Then I saw it was for a head as well. Then I laughed even harder when I realised it is just for a head that is very much like the original but with lights.

Oh Crazy Devi YOU SO CWAZY.

I'm 100% sure I won't be interested in this if it's anything like CrazyDevy's other prices.
Crown
No.
Jonny Napalm
I'm gonna buy, like, none. And then I'm not going to tell anyone about how you can buy this thing, so that everyone won't have one.
What a fucking farce.

Upgrading G1 combiners was cool, upgrade modern 3rd party toys is absurd (my favorite word today).

So, it's a 3rd party head replacement for a 3rd party head?

Didn't this happen with City Commander, but the head was made by a different company?

iGear I think.
brr-icy
so it's a hollowed out ko of the fp head with lights and batteries that can corrode? where can i not order one?
SCPrime
same head except with LED for $30? NO thanks. The cool factor of LED lights dies after turning it on once or twice...on any figure.

Haha! Sooooooooooooo true.

Ok, so if I order one of these pieces of shit for every Bruticus I have, that's 330 bucks before shipping... to look at eyes light up on figures I never touch anymore.

I'm good.

Completely pointless.

11 Bruticii???!!??? WOWZA.

Tell me this is your favorite mould. lol
Alucard77
The thing I don't understand is, why the F is Crazy Devy working on this shit?

We still need:
- Predaking thighs.
- Omega Supreme thighs

At least those would have a use. This shit is expensive and useless.

Sadly, it's not even anywhere near my favorite toy. There was just a period around last year's Botcon where everyone and their mom was dumping these things for Botcon money at cheap (150-200) and offering parts up as trade barter.

150-200 for just the FP parts or for the parts and the actual Hasbro combiner?? If it is the latter then damn that is too good a deal to pass on.
PrimusVsUnicron
go away CrazyDevy

I love how people don't include shipping in their price complaints. The total for this identical head plus LED is $39 shipped. WTF? That is a huge portion of what I originally paid for the 3rd party pieces to begin with and the FP pieces came with a whole lot more than the head.

What is CrazyDevy thinking with these prices? If they kept them affordable like Dr Wu, say around $12-$15 shipped, I would absolutely get it. At $39 shipped, no way in hell.
Transbot90210
They are thinking the exact same thing I am thinking.

"I can not believe so many people buy this shit and at these prices."

SO they keep producing needless crap and at extraordinary prices.

If people do actually buy it, and I suppose someone must be. But damn....
Alucard77
Yeah, I wonder if people still buy their shit.

I bought the Devastator parts from them, but couldn't fathom spending the money it took to do Predaking correctly even when BBTS was clearancing their stuff. I am hoping another KO company will do it for $50.

And it's what? 2 years too late to boot.

The weird thing is there actually is a market for this: the people with messed up FP heads because of the antennae and transformation.
Blitz.
if I had the kit (and I'm very tempted to hunt them down) I'd really think about this *not seen the price yet*
fabexmax
So $30 for a head, from a 3rd party company, for a 3rd party item, when the 2 third party figures originally cost $49.99 each!?

:\ Yeah FUCK YOU Crazydevy!

LOL true

$30 for all 6 heads, I would.... maybe.... nah, I still wouldn't. Light up gimmick is not all that great.
Biofan813
Why?????
TheJackal
I was hoping this might have been slightly bigger as i've always thougt the original head was small. I cant see paying this for just the lights being added.
Terremoto214
personally, i think this is perfect. Little brother dropped my Bruticus a couple months back, and one of the horns broke off. Now i hope they will release replacement hands
Tiller
Who keeps buying from these guys that they think its a good idea to keep making stuff that isn't really warranted?
guncannon109
CrazyDevy, you made some nice stuff, but please, just go away!
Timesynch
Yeah, the prices are pretty ridiculous, and just for the same head with light up LED eyes is a pretty ho-hum feature.

Now if CD made a bigger or upscaled head (I agree with a previous poster that the stock head always seemed too tiny to me), or a silver or chromed G1-ish chest wing shield to go over Onslaught's torso, then I might bite. I recall a Radicon(s) wanted to create a bigger head and chest shield set for FP Colossus but that project fizzled and never materialized at all.

As for the iGear City Commander set, I actually got this from RobotKingdom recently and it's a pretty decent set, but probably not worth the asking price. The energon hammers, giant black rifle, and Wreckers flag are very nice, as are the singular missiles that go on CC's shoulders. The head itself is pretty meh, and so is the energon sword. Otherwise, it's a fairly good add-on but a shame that the included head seems out of place aesthetics-wise and even smaller than the stock head (I went with the Dr. Wu blue-eyes face place instead, which looks better with the stock head).
Omega_Sentinel
At least its made of Polylac virgin ABS.
That's worth something....right?
bradforj
I'll say what I always say: fuck crazydevy.
Slimaximus
Yet another item from cd i will not be buying, these people are idiots trying to avoid sell a head for 30bucks

It's for both.

What a waste.

Wow, CD, please stop fucking things up.
Rodimus89
I wish they read forums like these.. GO BACK TO MAKING G1 UPGRADES!!THE LAST FIVE OR SO HAVE BEEN TOTAL BULLSHIT!!! CRAZYDEVY GET YOU HEAD OUT OF YOUR OWN ASS!
Jetcracker54
crazydevy you people are dumbasses good day to you
Composite Ghost
The knife Colossus has from Explorer's tail fin is too small. Maybe Crazy Devy can make one around 8 inches long.
POSSESSED_DIGIT
I'd rather they made replacement heads for Vortex, Brawl, & Onslaught...

I'd want this too if the heads were easier/safer to remove.
POSSESSED_DIGIT
Well, I can remove them. Already had in earlier versions. Actually, I swapped on a G1 onslaught head for it. (and a G1 Bruticus head awhile ago-back during Energons run)...

BUT. I can remove pins. Not everybody else can. So I'm in the minority there...
