Thanks.

I pretty sure this all calmed down hours ago, I think it's fine honestly.

I am expecting more on the small guy details and the weapons design. The only concern is the head joint and the plastic. I wish someone tells me if it's tight and durable connecting the head to the universe Hardhead.

I really wish they hadn't gone with the "LEGO hands" design. That's my only issue with this little guy. Everything else is golden, but the headmasters were never meant to hold anything, just sit in the vehicle, and become a head. Those hands to me look like they lower the quality of this figure. To sum it up, they should have just kept them at fists and I would be able to give it a %100. Once agian, just my opinion.

not everything runs on schedule like you plan. Mold changes take time. keeping ontop of the manufacturers requires time. Even then they make mistakes.

It will come out soon. Just be patient.

With all due respect, this is the 21st century. I'm sure if G1 had the tech like we do back then, Headmasters would be able to hold something. This doesn't depreciate the value of the time, it helps add to it's playability. And that is 100% better than G1 resemblence.

I responded to a Pm complaint about the situation so it was not "fine".
Please do not tell me how to do my job.

Thanks.

Yeah it snaps onto the neck.

Not sure what all the complaining is about. This product looks golden! For what it is, I think Hothead looks fantastic. I'd much rather spend $30 on this than $35-$40 on PE's Rumble/Frenzy/Shadow Warrior. I think you are getting so much more.

I also love how you can arm Duros/Hothead with weapons. That is a big selling point for me. There are so many different Lego weapons you can arm him with.

Dude, I'm not trying to tell you how to do your job, I was just saying that the situation was probably over.

How could I have know that you got a PM? I can't see your inbox...

I can see your point though and the whole situation is unfortunate, but there is no need to get after me for trying to not enflame it again.

I appreciate all that you and the others do for the site anyway, must be hard dealing with all this...

Anyway, wasn't trying to start anything with ya

Other then that, if I could find Hardhead, I would get this, but alas, he is so hard to find...

Man you should have asked me a lot earlier, I live in the Seattle area, when these out, they were everywhere, sadly not so much now...

Good plan, looking foward to helping a fellow fan out.

I hope in the final production we see a little more detail. Even if it is just some black outlining to show the molding lines. Not real excited about lego hands but I know a lot of people are so I can handle it. All in all, this is a nice looking product. Considering Headrobots us stil relatively new to the third party world, I'd say they're on the right track.

I'd love to see FP's take on a headmaster..

Still it does make me want Classics Hard Head now, Has Tak will be better off letting the third Parties continue, tehy make me buy stuff I other wise would leave on the sehelves.

you are a hard guy to please. there is a lot more articulation. ball jointed shoulders and hips. Independent legs, when compared to the G1 where the legs were pinned together at the knees. Better sculpt? how? Its just some guns and a little guy that turns into a head.

Why dont you make something yourself. Design it, prototype it, and actually manufacture it and then see how well it goes.

I'd ignore him if I were you, he complains about alot of great stuff that everyone else seems to love.

I'd get this. But sadly, Hardhead is a bitch to find ANYWHERE.

What's your problem, are you some kind of cyber bully telling others what to do. If you read what I said, I'm only pointing out pros and cons. I'm impressed by alot of stuff out there and that's my point. Just because I don't agree with the majority doesn't mean I can't have an opinion. Your statement is totaly faulse and rude, You are basicaly ordering someone to ignore someone else becuase they have a different opinion from others and the opinion which you said I have is faulse to start with. You need to fix up.

Anyone else who has a problem with what I say PM me as I'm not going to get drawn it yet more arguments in the public domain just becuase I have an opinion, 99% of the time others are then distorting it or taking one thing I've said to start a pointless argument, it detracts from the thread and isn't fair on others and myself.

No, I'm just pretty tired of seeing you whinge about the quality of other people's work when you put nothing forward yourself. You basically say "it's not bad, but I could do better".

You can have an opinion, but try complaining about something valid next time. There is more articulation on this figure than the previous version, and the sculpt is excellent. If you want 100% perfection you're own way you'd better buy a 3D cutting printer.

And you massively exaggerate. Wasn't an order so much as a suggestion, and from that you manage to extrapolate that I said you're opinion is incorrect. How can an opinion be incorrect? Stop being a drama queen. My mother always said "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all".
This could apply to me here too, but there's a point when you've just gotta say something to a person.

And if you think this is a personal vendetta....get over yourself, and stop taking the internet so seriously.

And that's my response. Let's leave it at that.

And you are not making it any easier. You were not inflaming anything with them, it was none of your concern getting involved when I stepped in no matter if everyone thought the situation was resolved or not.
Best suggestion, DO NOT reply to this post and just post about the topic.

On topic, I do not have the WM Hardhead and my G1 Hardhead is complete however I might get this set to see how it fits with the G1 toy (I would like to see what it looks like in person).

Really happy I was able to snag Universe Hardhead at Botcon. Especially after the rigmarole I went through before saying screw it and buying from a vendor. This is the reason I wanted that figure so badly. Otherwise I would have been happy to forget about it. Reeeally stoked for this. I am kinda surprised this one is smaller than the G1 head. It certainly works, I just expected it to be bigger.

I was very surprised to see that too but you are right. It certainly does work!

Well i was lucky enough to grab a HardHead when they was out in force, and now like everyone said he's hard to find. But, i did see one about 3 weeks ago hidden at a walmarts for $25.00 i should have grabbed to help someone out, but didnt have the cash on me. sorry..
