    bought, 55 is a steal for a headmaster, unless i find an official one for dirt cheap.

    Is this going to have a functional stat read-out gimmick?

    Glad to finally see it in box. Looking good. I think the later years stuff will be easier to KO since the toys are generally more chunky, simplified, and contain little to no metal.

    Where did this come from?
    I was still expecting the ko smokescreen to happen,
    Are they doing anymore headmasters?
    How long does this ko process take (when was this ko announced)

    I would love to get all the headmasters like this but only if it doesn't take 5 years to complete,
    Hope they get around to de-scaling fortress so he's the same size as scorpinok, that would really sell the headmadters line again,

    Does anyone know how much they charge for shipping to the US?
    I was looking at buying a Weirdwolf off Ebay, but damn, the costliest of all the reg. HeadMasters.

    For those that order one of these, please tell us what you think of it..... especially if you have an original so you can tell us how they compare.
    Color, plastic, tightness.... etc.

    Just got it in the mail today :D 
    The quality is better than I anticipated. All joints are good, stickers are good (even got a few extras), gun and tail/sword fits well into the holes, the headmaster tech spec gimmick works well.
    The headmaster itself (Monzo) is good as well, although the arms require a little bit of force to move, and can only go from straight down to straight out/up.
    I never had a G1 Weirdwolf, so I'm not sure if it's 100% G1 accurate, but it seems extremely close.

    the eyes on the headmaster's big face are just grey, no sticker details or anything. Again, not sure how accurate that is.
    overall, very happy with it, and will definitely get more KO Head-and targetmasters with this quality :)

    ^ I've never owned a KO before and I hope Weirdeolf doesn't look like that

    Nah, the one I got is clearly made to not be able to fool collectors/fans.

    The one in the OP is like all other replica G1s.

    Headmasters were my favorite G1 sub-group... but after goofing off with Headrobots Butcher (I wish I'd gotten Hardhead :( ), I'm not entirely sure I'll have as much fun with the G1s anymore.
