Death’s Head is an unusual character in Transformers lore. A “freelance peace keeping agent”, he was used extensively during the golden era of the 1980s UK Transformers comics – particularly in the 1987 / 1988 story arcs which saw Galvatron timejump to the then-present day, with Rodimus and others in hot pursuit. However, while Death’s Head had a lot of page-time in the UK Transformers comics, he never made it to the US Marvel Transformers comics – and because he was owned by Marvel rather than Hasbro, he’s never been used in Transformers since, never mind getting a toy.
That has all changed though, because Death’s Head has now had an action figure released in the 3.75 inch Marvel Infinite Series collection. He’s richly detailed and features his axe, buckler and mace accessories – the axe and mace can replace his fists, like the classic artwork. He’s a fun little figure, although the hard rubber skirt tends to limit his legs a bit.

Easiest was Amazon for me.
Had him in a list and waited until the price became reasonable before ordering; give it a shot.

Smell of fear

I want th¡s only £ 6.00 not bad to have Deadpool before he was cool.
but in green. yes?
Still good to see out Boun.. Freelance peace keeping agent getting some love from uncle Stan. Yes?
Gingerchris
Indeed. Green garb for me too. Felt more gritty and bount- I mean Freelance Peacekeeping Agent-y and somewhat less superhero-ish than his blue 'costume'. Plus the face on this figure looks a bit like he's had an allergic reaction to a peanut or something and his face has swollen up.
Need a shot of Epinephrine, yes?
Also, is it just me or does his face look a bit like an angry robot Homer Simpson?
DeathsHead
Hmmm…
Not a good likeness of me, yes?
Always preferred the version one in green garb.
Heh.

That cape is just begging for holes and damage.
Weapons could use a backwash.
Customizers fire up your dremels!

I have zero connection to this character, but for some reason, I want him. Where's the best place to pick one up?
triKlops
I was very happy to finally get him in hand; just got to pick up a couple old DH trades next to complete my collection.

Yes. It is the new phase of the 3.75" line. It is the Marvel Infinite Avengers Series. Despite the name it will continue to have characters from across the Marvel U. It was only named that to "fool" retailers to carry it due to the success of Avengers and the new Avengers movie coming up. However, you'll be lucky to find this because retailers never changed over the SKUs from the previous Marvel Universe line and stores are just starting to see wave 1 of Infinite arrive now that they finally cleared out the last of their old stock. Death's Head is being refreshed from wave two to waves three and four, but those are going to have a hard time making it out since this line launched back in March and we are just now seeing wave 1.

Mania King, Universe Cyclonus and Generations Scourge now have a non transformer to bully.

He goesvery well with Revoltechs!
He's not perfect though, he needed three more accessories (Shott Blaster, missile and rifle) as well needing the tabs to secure his chest piece that's present in the Collossus figure this derived from.
Also he hasn't just met the Transformers and Doctor Who, he's familiar with the Earth 616 Fantastic Four as well as heroes from alternate dimensions… but the alternate/future fella's basically all died. Not his fault though, yes?

This one looks cool! There have been some real winners in this Marvel series, like Deathlok.
ericepy
is this a new toy line, b/c ive never seen any of these. and the packaging doesn't ring a bell.

I had him for a week then flipped him…if he was 6" instead of 3.75" I would have loved him. I just had no proper place to display him. Plus his cape was just loose on him, not pegged in despite the mold having ports for plugs.
astrocreep777
Like I said with Gen Legends Nemesis Prime Shut up and take my money.
AgentAlabama113
WANT!

I picked one up from Auto Assembly and he's a great figure – love the fact that they went with the yellow/blue version – never liked the green much, but I know other opinions differ
I did wind up paying scalper prices though :/

Derpy little guy.

The character is called Death's *HEAD* & everything about the figure is cool except for it's head. I'm seriously laughing at this figure because of it's goofy face. That's not a good sign. This is one of the dumbest looking figures I've ever seen (because of it's head). Looks like something Rob Liefeld would come up with.
