Looks a little weird like maybe it's a KO or a reissue.

Pulsating Light AM Radio (Nasta, 1986)

Pulsating Light AM Radio is a 7.5" tall AM radio in the shape of Ultra Magnus's head, produced by Nasta. It takes 4 AA batteries to make him sing (two in each antenna), but when he does, his eyes and forehead light up.
The head of Ultra Magnus could be yours for just $12.99.

Not gonna lie, friend, how did the fact that it's goddamn gigantic not tip you off to something weird? xD It would have been a good thing to mention in the first post at least, rather than letting us assume it's the head accessory from a G1 Magnus. :HEADHURTS:

No clue how much it's worth (if anything), I'll leave that up to you now that you know what it is.

if you like it, then it's not worthless.

asking for help with something without stating basic info which, it seems, you'd already realised? that's getting close.

Looks like a nice piece to have. Are the guts still in it and does the radio work? Otherwise you could put some LED's in it and put on your collection shelf

looks like everything is there except the rear panels of his "ears" unfortunatly I don't think that it can work with out those panels, considering they hold the batteries in place.

I agree, it's looks nice to me!

I'm sure youould rig up something with duct tape to fix it. It looks like it'd make a good shelf piece, its certianly different.

I know there are a few UM collectors around here, might wanna ask them of they'd be interested if you want to sell it.

Yep, it does look pretty cool. How big is it?

About seven and a half inches tall at the top of the antennae.

I have one too, got it for 5 buck back then. Both the radio and music worked fine until I decided to clean the battery compartment. It doesn't worth much other than for die hard UMagnus fans like myself. In term of rarity, I think it's getting there. For now, you see them pop on ebay every few months.

Anyhow, here are scale comparison pics from my Review Page:
