It also make him look like Ani Blurr.
New Head isn't that bad, and the weapons are nice. Not really Blurr, but since I planned to give Perceptor his sniper rifle, IF I ever find Perceptor, new weapns for Blur wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

I would only buy this for the head and it's not particularly impressive.
It doesn't help that they used crappy low res photos for the reveal. Unless it's under $10 (which it won't be), this is a pass for me.

Just curious, but do you guys now like about this? The head looks G1, the gun and sword are pretty much generic, and the shield looks nice to me. Plus you're still going to have his original guns. If there are things about the set you don't like you should let them know on twitter.

EDIT. Cool kit though if the head was thiner imo it would be spot on.

I am intrigued as to what their other products are. I'm with Down_Shift in hoping for a new head for Warpath.

Like i said before, EASY PASS
this set doesnt even need making! why waste time and resources on this when instead they could use the time and resources to make something else people WOULD want

The weapons are kind of neat, but not worth the money when there are so many other cool 3rd party products out there. I do kind of wonder if that head would fit the Springer from the Target Springer/Ratbat two pack. That Springer is a voyager scale, but this head looks large and more like Springer than the factory one.

If you do I'm pre-ordering anything you produce. After seeing some of your repaints and that killer WFC axe I'd be all about Mykltron Incorporated. Can't even imagine what cool gear you'd turn out.

Nevermind the different weapons, heads and entirely different paint jobs that do that job perfectly already. I'm just sayin'.

Anything is better than the head we got now. See what I dont understand is if they dont want a head that looks close if not identical to the G1 cartoon, and they dont want the IDW head, then what do they want ??? Not talking about you my friend, but I would love to take some of the more harsh critics on this site to the st**p club and see if they are as picky with the chicks as they are with 3rd party stuff. I could see it now...
"She looks malnourished"
"I dont like the perpindicular angles of her hairstyle"
"The colors she's wearing does not match her skin tone"

I used some darker blue paint to do up some details on his original face, and it makes it look awesome, fyi. I prefer the head that comes with it aswell.

I'm not allowed to dislike something I don't think looks very good? Sorry, but I don't think it looks very good.
And while I grew up on the original cartoon, I don't subscribe to the notion that the Classics figures have to be a near-perfect representation of the original characters. I've always believed these figures to homage the characters, not replicate every minute detail.
I don't mind that people would prefer the more G1 head. I do mind that people think the rest of us should like it, too.
