Do you mean there is a separate Nemesis head by Renderform for Orion-B?

I meant I was gonna keep the standard head that comes with the Orion repaint.
If there is a different one available, I'd definitely check it out, but I kind of like the Orion head when it isn't directly meant to be Optimus.

That's right - that Renderform is making a new head for Orionvil as well. This is the teaser on Azim's facebook page:

Well, maybe it's a bit similar.

I only remember that Renderform was going to hold back on producing the Nemesis variant until he had the new figure in hand and could verify that the mold made for Orion would fit. Other than using applicable colors to the Nemesis head, I don't believe it was announced that there would be any other tweaks.

Haven't received my shipping e-mail yet for the Orion head, but I did send payment last Friday. It's just a matter of time now.

So I got my Pax head today and installed it. Looks great, but seems slightly smaller making him look a little bit pin-headed. Not horrible, but definitely noticible if you are used to looking at the original head which had perfect proportions for his body. The light piping is a lot better though.

Yeah, the proportions of the original Orion head is different compared to the PAX head. I maxed out the height and width allowed while still letting it be compatible in altmode. One of the differences you can see is the original Orion head has a large head dome, compared to PAX, who's was based on the comic design.

Either way I like it.

Hope you got plans for 2015 to upgrade some of Funpub's less ambitious exclusives.

Think the RFX replacement head looks better than the Toy World head.

Dislike the TW big eyebrows on the Orion head helmet. As it reminds me of HasTak adding eyebrows on the TFP-BH toys.

Nope, don't need it.

I have the Pax head for Prime and I love it, but I also love that the two characters have different head sculpts.

I'll probably get the Nemesis version once it's released more widespread (ie - not gonna fight for one of the 35 at TFCon this weekend). Although if I don't get it, will just be another variance between him and my soon to be upgraded Orion (USPS says the replacement head will get to me by tomorrow).
