    These guys have a great idea going with the custom Head Masters.

    But the HeadMasters are such a niche market. Maybe they could also expand into other transformers markets by producing Diaclone pilots, or scaled human figures, exo suits, things of that magnitude.

    Great color scheme. Even though I do not own any Head Masters (I can't afford them at this time), I still may pick this little guy up.

    These repaints don't even match colorwise to any previous headmaster, but they are so perfect for what they represent. I ordered 2 because I just had to have some Cobra Headmasters to start taking over Autobots and Decepticons alike.

    I only have the original release of this Cobra Headmaster (I'm having my Pile of Loot shipped to me as I type this). I have no desire to have the other re-colors of this mold but if Head-On comes out with a red 'Crimson Guard' version or even black 'Hiss Tank' re-colors, I'm going to go broke picking these up.

    Now all I need are some reprolabels, that is if I can get some small enough.

    Well, technically the Japanese retailer exclusive Nightrider repaint *is* black and gold. You can call it whatever you wish.

    And I would totally go for a red and silver Crimson Guard version. In fact, I tried out the scheme awhile back:

    I applaud Might Gaine and Headrobots for these clever repaints. The Snake version of Cobra is my favorite yet. I'm hoping the fact that we're seeing multiple versions of these is a great sign that we'll be getting even more unique molds in the future. These little figures are like opening a vault to a world where once abandoned toy concepts finally get their chance to shine.

    Now if you guys made a snake eyes version I'd buy it! I loved snake eyes from the GI JOe cartoon/comic.

    Ooh! And orange and bright green for DC's Kobra!

    Sure they do. Nightrider, obviously, goes with Black Zarak (which means I have to get one of those now :rolleyes2 ). And this one looks like it'd go perfectly on Highbrow.

    It's the original that doesn't match perfectly with anything. Though it's pretty good on Snapdragon.

    This recolor, I'd get too. You can have Cobra Commander and a couple of these as Crimson Guards taking over Autobot and Decepticon Headmasters. Now all we need are some straight black repaints of these for regular Cobra soldiers and we're good to go...:) 

    Now what would look better with all black? Red, blue or silver tank treads and face mask?

    I wouldn't even need Headmasters for these...I'd keep these in snake/tank mode as an envoy of invading Cobra troops.

    I was just talking about the Cobra Commander repaint but I did forget about Highbrow. This repaint is good as it is, it wouldn't match perfectly with existing Headmasters, but it really doesn't have to.

    I can see Cobra Commander building these in mass in Red and Black for his Crimson Guards and regular shock troops respectively. Hell, I can see Destro having his personal Cobra Headmaster all in Silver/Chrome...:)
