    Please for the love mercy don't let the coneheads be a Target or Walmart exclusive. If you can't find them on shelves the after market hurts really bad.

    For those grumbing about the screaming/yelling mouth it has one good use, if anyone does a stop motion of the scene in Transformers: The Movie when Dirge sees Cyclonus and gasps for the 1st time, the Earthrise figure allows you to do this.

    Looks cool, but the face is kind of derpy.

    He's a disarmingly handsome figure

    35 year old old toys. Not first time releases These are new figures. They’re not gonna do it like that and it’s already pointed out one of which is a single figure release.

    Looks good. I was gonna buy all of the Coneheads anyway, and I'm honestly not too surprised that the head isn't actually part of the jet. I can live with that.

    If you guys are okay with the cone head then you have no right to say anything is "goofy".

    The first thing I'll be doing is putting regular "NORMAL" looking heads on them. The way they were meant to be going by the original toy, box art & instruction book. You guys can have your lame, "GOOFY", stupid, asinine cone heads.

    Screw the cartoon!:thumbdown  The cartoon ruined these 3 awesome characters.

    He doesn't look like he's screaming; he looks like he's yawning.

    Oh look.
    Another open mouth for me to be peeved about.

    Skip.
    Unless he is indeed packed with Ramjet.
    In which case he'll stay in jet mode.

    Looks more like a crown head than a cone head with the extra plastic around the top/back. Unless that is a separate piece.

    It kinda looks like he has some juicy gossip: "Oh my goddd, did you hear Ramjet, Megatron is going to be a tank again and he doesn't even look good" "I know righhht? Even Earthrise Starscream looks better than him, right?" "Hahahaha"

    So guess in my mind the coneheads are divas now...

    When I first got into G1, I thought the Coneheads were extremely goofy looking. But at the same time, so much of G1 is goofy as is, so I found a certain charm to it the same way people find so many of the other silly stuff from G1 to be charming. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

    I almost thought the arm was still in the chest but then wouldn't explain the hand.

    Maybe it was shot off while being smuggled from the factory.

    That "crown" you see is actually the jet nosecone assembly folded onto his back. The head doesn't form the jet's nosecone this time.

    If you put enough of them together you could make a choir with them maybe. But if memory serves they were kind of divas in Animated. But seriously I haven't been keeping up with these figures and the mouth thing is peculiar . But look up Beast Hunters Optimus and look at his kisser, its not much better.

    That is what I hope it to be. Looks great otherwise, would like to see the art on the top side of the wings.

    Minus the cone on his head, and his face looks like Overlord.
