Just saying the people willing to fund Cookie Monster are probably not Transformers fans as well...Although I guess, in a way, Unicron is our own personal Cookie Monster.

Huh, never really thought about it that way, but they both have insatiable appetites

I know HasLab doesn't do stretch goals, but a Unicron head cookie jar would be pretty awesome.

What are you going to do with a headless giant Unicron toy? Stand the body in the corner and attach the head to the fan and turn it on low?

Blow it up with a couple M-80s in the chest, obviously.

But realistically it should still be able to turn into a planet without the head.

But doesn't his horns become part of the planets maw?

But realistically, how hard would it be the have a removable head?

I might take this option. By the time taxes and shipping are added to the pulse order, I'll only probably be paying $100 more on TFsource, and I can wait until it comes to pay so I can be ready for him

Rodimus Prime wrote:If I saw it right (and maybe I didn't), the planet maw and the robot horns are 2 different sets. It looked like the planet maw horns fold down behind Unicron's ass in robot mode. (Effectively making him even more of an assface.) Unless I saw it wrong. As for a head by itself, I would like it if they followed the Cybertron route, and come out with an equally large Primus/Cybertron figure that comes with a Unicron head as an accessory.

And as far as being able to remove the head, I imagine something akin to Fort Max and Cerebros wouldn’t be too difficult to implement. But in all fairness we don’t know what the head does in transformation yet. A removable head mechanism could require a complete redesign.

ZeroWolf wrote:I echo Burns comments here, on why the head even needs to be detachable. I can't see anyone actually using the feature when I'd rather time and money spent making the whole figure better.

Cobotron wrote:But wouldn't the feature be for play? Not display. I think it would make a neat play feature to be able to reenact his demise, but when the play is over you just pop it back on.

Honestly though, I'd rather they put the effort into giving him an uncompromised beard. I don't get why they can't just cut a triangle out of the bottom of the elongated chin they have already given him.

Because then people would complain the beard wasn't long enough
