Exactly. They're offering Guido Guidi's art in five forms: T-shirt, oversized "jumbo" cup (maybe it's a soup bowl), iPhone case, a case for your IC card / metro train pass, and embedded for display in an "acrylic panelboard."

 

I’m not sure what I said that you are unclear about.

Though I realize I made a mistake about Headmasters only being in the 4 issue mini series. I initially thought they only appeared in the mini series and not the main comic. I got that confused with the comic adaption of Transformers the Movie, which only existed as a separate story not part of the comic continuity. I follow the cartoon continuity, so I’m not all that knowledgeable about the comic continuity.

 

To be fair, the Headmasters comic is where the Nebulons got any characterization. It continued in Transformers 38, but after that, most of the Nebulons were forgotten, but the characters continued in the series until the end.

But yeah, the Marvel Headmasters are still my go to canon, if I had to choose a favorite.

 

I don't think they have to ignore the Headmasters episodes in order to enjoy the Rebirth/Marvel versions of these characters. Both are viable in their own right and take place in different continuities, just like we accept both in the West the Japanese fans will accept both for what they are (with some just like here being more fascinated with seeing the version they never received because it's new and different).

 

Yeah, I admit "ignore" was probably a poor choice of words on my part. I guess what I meant was that I don't see why someone in Japan would favor the US story more than the Japanese story.

I guess my point was that there is more incentive for fans in the West to embrace the Japanese story. If we like animation more than comics, we get far more episodes to enjoy by ignoring Rebirth. I just don't see the draw for them on their side of the water to favor Rebirth over Headmasters.

But in regards to comics, I'm not sure how it compares as I don't know how many issues of the Headmasters manga were produced. Not being familiar with the manga, I don't know if you can start with the Japanese manga for series 1-3 stories and then switch to Marvel for series 4 on up. Would you have to take the entire Marvel run as a whole over the manga?
