    Er, from the above weibo post
    So unfortunately, there's no way good way for you aside from the reissue.

    Edit: or maybe you can contact some store you're friendly with and see if they're willing to help you obtain the head alone.

    I bought mine from Toy Dojo and asked a while back about the head but never got a response. Which is fine considering I don’t really want it anymore.

    I asked Baba about the head too, was told they would look into it.

    I wish X2 would just sell the head on its own. When I bought Skycrusher, despite not caring for the stock face, I got a complete figure and knew what I was paying for. This should be like any other add-on or upgrade set.

    It’s not like other companies haven’t included a bonus part with a reissue and sold the same part separately for buyers of the first release before. Honestly the way they seem to be doing this now, making it practically impossible to acquire, is just screwing us over no less than making us pay for it.

    Emailed BBTS. They haven't even been offered such a solution from X2. They have no idea if they'll even be able to obtain it.

    I contacted ShowZ about the new Sky Crusher head and got a reply that they are checking with the supplier on it. So hopefully ShowZ customers could get one eventually.

    It should be simultaneously released along with the Skycrusher reissue from what previous updates seemed to be saying. That was supposed to be at the end of April. A recent update however said that retailers had until May 10th to submit the number of heads they needed from X2. I’m hoping it will be by the end of this month.
