Sounds like you just got a bum Skullsmasher. Both reviews of him that I saw (Peaugh and TCP) didn't have that kind of QC issues.

I don't know about TCP but Peaugh's figure had loose hips, they kept spreading out on him during the review; he just didn't mention it.
I never said he didn't have any, I just said that he didn't have QC issues of that magnitude.

Yes he did. All the issues Ironhidensh had Peaugh had, and the Chinese reviewer who had his video stolen. In that video the figure could barely stand.

In no part of the video did Skullsmasher fall over and have the Titanmaster neck snap. I will concede that he was pretty floppy (I hadn't watched the video in a while), but you can't say "All the issues" and not include the neck-snapping.

That is, however, the exact reason the neck snapped. He was posed on a table. Granted, he was by the edge of the table, but that shouldn't matter. When the figure fell over, it fell off the edge of the table and I'm guessing landed straight on its head which is when the neck snapped.

The issue with the toy is not that his neck snapped, that is a consequence of the issue of his floppiness. All TFs can break. You dont see any review go, "this isnt a great toy though because if it falls, it might break" its a consequence we are all aware of. Instead they will point out that it might not be stable and the rest follows. The neck joints are breakable, but we only figured this out because the toy had terrible stability.

I just hadn't seen the "fall to the floor" bit. At first, I had assumed that it just fell while on the table, in which the breakage would likely have been from bad QC.

Nucleon has the situation on "Lockdown"!

WillyJ's awesome idea.

Wish I could be home to see this. But to be fair, credit goes to Yuki, who was in charge of UW Grand Galvatron.

The loose hips on skullsmasher are soread across this initial batch. I got another commetn off facebook:

I just found Wheelie today and i have a tip. the instructions don't show it, but if you turn his head before flipping it when transforming him into vehicle mode his rear end looks a little better

Awesome pics cobo ;)^

sorry to hear about your qc issues ironhidesh, though it is a shame to hear about them in general about such an awesome looking figure.

A question, there is four original autobot headmasters but only three decepticon headmasters. This is a bit odd considering the symmetry in other releases back in the 80s toy line like the first four special teams. Is it possible there was going to be a fourth decepticon headmaster that got cancelled?

Well it sucks that Skullsmasher has loose joints and that it caused ironhidensh's to break. Luckily I just started using some floor polish to tighten some joints on TFs and other figures so it shouldn't be a problem on my end.

In the book, 'Transformers Vault,' there was a page that shows concept art of a Deception with a stingray alt-mode. The caption for the image says it is believed to have been a Deception Headmaster, though that seems to be very unlikely if you actually look at the artwork closely.

Well there were the Headmaster Beasts which make five for the Decepticons; Arcee was the fifth Autobot Headmaster but was never made as a toy

I did think about the decepticon beasts but I wasn't sure to count them as they were triple changers and had their rivals in the monsterbots (though the monster bots outnumbered them)

@digibrave thanks for that info :-)

I can finally see your pics Cobo and daaamn, that canon looks like it was made for Grand Galvatron, it looks perfectly proportional to him and you can get it on his side so it looks less awkward, nice!

I had forgotten about Yuki's picture, so thanks for reminding me.

You could drop the G1 version out out of second story window and it would still be mostly intact.

The new Titan Masters to me are okay looking, but clearly flawed designs from the start, to me it's an engineering flaw, rather than a Q.C. flaw.
