Transformers Headmasters Wonderfest Exclusive Third Party Customs

Next, we thought we'd share this interesting auction from Yahoo Japan that has recently come to light. It's for a set of three updated Headmaster Warriors - Lione, Shuffler and Loafer. These three were originally a part of the legendary set of six who are among the rarest items from the Japanese Generation 1 run on their original release. These however are updated designs that were produced by a third party company under license from Takara-Tomy, and sold exclusively at Wonderfest (which would have been termed under the license agreement. Such "event exclusives" are fairly common among Japanese garage kit companies at conventions). All three function like the original toys, with robot and head modes, and can even attach to genuine Generation 1 Headmaster bodies! However, the designs are updated to included elements such as proper, individual legs for Kirk.
