    It took me reading this to realize it, but you're right. I'd been bummed lately now that Encore has slowed down. But yes, it's been a good year.

    I was hoping beyond all hope that it wasn't green. Love the silver sword though. Wish I could get past the head because other than that it's an awesome set.
    Maybe CrazyDevy will make a head replacement or something. Haha.

    This is just like the Bruticus Maximus ROTF release where one of the knees was unpainted even though all of the promotional pictures and box showed it painted.

    $25 to replace a head that goes unseen underneath the gestalt head? No thanks.

    Is it really that hard to slap on some black paint?

    Or buy a junker Snaptrap just for the head and do a switch?

    It was a joke! ... more like $40 but it would have LED lights and come with a clear visor Piranacon helmet so the glowy eyes could be seen....

    I do like the junker idea though...

    A junker Overbite will also get you the purple parts. And if you REALLY want a G1-colors version, find a lavender sword.

    Or strip the chrome from the reissue one.

    Don't know why you'd want to do that, though. The chrome sword is awesome.
