So, i just got my Encore Devastator today, and have seen many reports of Mixmaster being headless. Sadly, i got a headless Mixmaster too. :sad:

Seems to be quite a common QC issue in most Devy sets, my friend came along with me too, and his Devy also had a headless Mixmaster.

I can get exchange, since i bought mine locally, but might be a big problem for people buying from online sites...

Some tells me the price for junker Mixmasters will skyrocket with this.

Or maybe Takara/Hasbro will make a replacement program to trade in yur Headless Mixmaster for new ones in good shape.

This is a big bummer for a encore set, released in the middle of a design war where multiple 3rd Party Devastator sets are fighting for dominance.

Of all the junkiest, dollar store, knock-off Transformers I've bought... none of them have ever been missing their heads.

Dear Takara Tomy,

As a fan of the original G1 series I applaud the encore series and always look forward to the next announced release.

I was particularly pleased to hear that you have started to include Head Masters in the range; if you could reissue figures that were actually Head Masters in the first place, it would be even better.

Yours Sincerly,

Pretender Skywarp.

I somehow feel relieved that the only G1 constructicon I have is Mix.... When the faulty sets hit ebay, it will be child's play to get the rest.

Damn, I hope mine is okay whenever I get them from CP. So far, from the pic, it looks just like the original. Any change e.g. tampograph, color wise, mold, etc? More pics......
