    BTW, anyone know what's the toon Bruticus head talking about? I added battery for both heads, the original head's sound is clear but I couldn't figure out toon head's talking.

    Anyone got a measurement of this guy to the top of his head?

    Thanks :)

    Got an email from TFSource last night saying they will be getting the toon heads in and asking how I want to receive my free one since I bought Blitzkrieg from them. Here's the text of their email:

    There's the classic line:

    "Bruticus devastate Devastator".

    Then there's:

    "And now I will have my revenge!"
    "You banished me! I do not like being banished!"

    The last one had something to do with being angry, so I had to look it up from established Bruticus quotes:

    "You make Bruticus angry!"

    Today I received the toon head, and I have the same issue that I have with the original one, it just make a weird sound with blinking eyes....
    What am I doing wrong? I use three 371 batteries that should be the same as AG6

    Thank you so much! Understanding the lines make this more fun... initially I heard him kept speaking "Devastator", I thought Zeta used the wrong chip in the head. :D

    This may have been mentioned previously.. I'm getting this set and Blitz is the last one I'll be getting, will the newer ones come with the head? I could of sworn someone said that the head would be included at TCP or something. Maybe I'm just mixed up.

    I'm pretty sure if they have stock they will send it with blitzkrieg, otherwise in the next order or outright separately.

    Got.my.Blitzkrieg.
    Got.my.Bruticus.
    I'm so fooking happy right now.

    That looks great. Is there any chance that you will either be putting up the Bruticus pistol you made on Shapeways or sell it directly? It’s the one thing that my Bruticus is really missing.

    Just got the big guy together today and while overall I’m liking it and impressed with the over build, heft, and articulation. I do not like a couple of things.

    One being that the connection to Swindle in combined form is the weakest connection of the whole set. Any posing or handling pops it right out along with all of his panels.

    And two, overall the set cleans up pretty good, but sometimes all the panelling gets in the way and not all of it tabs away tightly enough!

    I’m still pretty happy with it, considering the price point, and he will stand tall next to Constructor......on my floor lol

    I'm in the process of getting this set, I asked TFS if I bought Blitzkrieg from them whether it would include the toon head, they said:

    "I've confirmed that NEW customer orders, containing the ZA-03 Blitzkrieg; DO automatically receive the "bonus" Armageddon head along with it!

    I do hope that this helps answer your question & we look forward to your future purchases with us at TFsource!

    Thank you for choosing TFsource.
    Sincerely,
    Jeremy"

    You may already know about this, in case you don't though, you might wanna check out the upgrades you can get for this guy. From Heavy/Scratch: - ZetaToys Armageddon G1 Upgrade Set "Destroyer Force"
    You can buy what you need/want, don't have to get everything. Of particular interest that may help, is the knee braces for Swindle. I just ordered 6 pieces from him myself recently.

    Got Racket on the way, so I can finish this set. Armageddon has been incomplete for far too long. Plus I need that box to keep him from falling over for something else. :)

    I just bought the whole destroyer force set. Probably will only use about half of it but it’s worth it to me just for the stabilizers and the colored foot covers.

    So...picked up the "Shockwave" by Iron Factory thinking he'd make a nice handgun for Bruticus but I think he's a tad too small...

    Mechfanstoys KO'ed the Iron Factory Shockwave at a larger size. This may be what you're looking for.
    I believe they are also re-releasing it in a different shade of purple.
