He just keeps on making more battle axes, Bumper/Hubcap heads and now another Darkwing. Why not make these instead…
• new head for Botcon Machine Wars Starscream
• new head for Botcon G2 Spark
• cartoon accurate guns for Cheetor and Ratrap
• G1 head for generations Orion Pax
• Cartoon accurate heads for Fansproject Stunticons

Why buy from the same guy twice? Well, for you it makes no sense. For people like me, who never got a shot at the first kit because his reputation wasn't as widespread, this is a godsend.

Also, while we're OT, I've found Beelzeboss' Red Alert/Sideswipe kit to be sub-par (particularly the shoulder cannon. Any opinions on whether RF's kit is better?

The renderform kit is awesome. But for me the beezleboss kit is more cartoon accurate. What bugs me is that when people asked him to do another run of red alert sets, he said no because then they wouldnt be "exclusive". Now that hasbro is retooling heads for all their repaints, all of a sudden he wants to bring back old ideas. Theres still plenty of botcon figures that need new heads. But lately he doesnt seem to be interested in doing any of the ideas people suggest to him on these threads. Just the same old characters and battle axes in every color of the rainbow. Cmon Azim, I really like your work, but give us something new...

The new head uses the Silverbolt and Skyfall style of fitting for the back and front halves, so you won't see the gap at all.
