Popular third party HeadRobots teases us with their proposed third product - Iguana. We've seen the Headmaster before with Hothead, and now this time around HeadRobots shows off the figure in three different color schemes. Will these be the ones that are set for release? Only time will tell, so for now check out the Iguanas below!

Here's my take on the 3 color schemes:

Iguanus (Pretender, shell)
Icepick (Monster Pretender, shell)
Not sure, but reptile-inspired.

I'd prefer an inversion of the 3rd color scheme (dk. green frame and tail, Hardhead Green head/face & legs). Paint the lower face silver, and keep the eyes in a reddish-orange. If it had to come in the 2nd one, make both sets of eyes yellow.
If I could suggest a 4th color scheme, I'd want one in Golden brown (think "golden retriever" or desert sand, not gold plastic!) head/face and legs, Navy or Indigo frame and tail (like the orange one above), and black or dk. gray colored cannons. I'd want the unmasked lower face (excluding the chin) painted a pale sky blue and the eyes again in a reddish orange. If I could really get my way, I'd want the golden brown colored parts in gold chrome, but I understand that the chrome would make the price jump drastically.

I could see this little guy riding atop a Skullcruncher, Snapdragon, or Brainstorm.

i like all three , makes me want to go on ebay and get a body for 1

Whoa.

They all look great IMO, but the second one's to G1 Icepick for my taste, and the third one, while looking real nice, does have somewhat similar colors to the Cobra head (brighter green yes, but still.) The first color scheme does look better, and yet... Maybe inverting the colors and making the orange brighter might help. :-?

At any rate, might just end up buying the three if ever they're produced. :grin:

I actually really like the anime color schemes. I think the 2nd one is my favorite. I like the color contrast of blue on orange.

cute but I don't have any headmaster bodies, so pass.

The good thing about these is that you have an alt mode, so you don't need headmaster bodies. And incomplete bodies are a dime a dozen...

I'd by all three colors, probably twice each.

HeadRobots will only release Iguana in one color. They're picking two and us fans get to pick which one get's released!

News Credits: 1082 · Sat Mar 06, 2010 6:44 am

I guess to me, it would depend what color they actually end up releasing COBRA in, because I want variety...

I would go for orange/blue, and green/grey.

Y'know, I don't own any headmaster figures, but I think I'd get each new mold they would release. So just keep the colors diverse from each other and I'm in.

I hope we still end up seeing these. I have lots of headless Headmasters.

I wonder if some third party will make a genetic body for these heads. Something cheap and simple.

News Credits: 7 · Sat May 07, 2011 6:35 pm

They fit with the orginal headmasters?

News Credits: 49 · Sun May 08, 2011 1:26 pm

Yes.

Holy Necro-thread Batman!

Any way, I hope these still get made.

Me too. I'd love to hear anything new come out of the Headrobots camp honestly just so I know they are still around.

THe blue/orange is definitely reminding me of ice-pick, which i had as a kid. And the Florida Gators are blue and orange so thats a plus. The green/green one reminds me of Undermine from the Cybertron series, though that may be because im currently watching it.

after all the crap they pulled with bludgeon and whirl i wouldnt be surprised if they aren't...

What "crap"? They showed some prototypes and people got pissy when they decided not to make them anymore. They're doing the best they can. Headrobots is a tiny, tiny company and they have to figure out what will sell.

Promoting and teasing items and then never releasing them in suffiecient quantity is crap. Whatever happened to their Dark Warrior set? I saw maybe one post on it and that was it. Look if they can't compete with Fansproject and Perfect Effect and other 3rd party teams that know what they are doing and do it well, then perhaps they shouldnt.

Hothead is the ****. Nuff said. I'd support these guys over a lot of the other shmucks any day. Not everything they do is stuff I'm interested in but I get where it comes from. They're stuff is good quality too. Looking forward to Blood (voyager) if and when it comes around.

eh so far in my opinion they have had one success and it was fantastic. Hothead was amazing. It just takes more than one success to get me riding their train. If and when the Blood sets come out I may change my tune.
