iGear Kup02 for e-Hobby Kup

Posted by El Duque Apr 5, 2011 at 9:41am CDT 33,860 views
Want that cool new replacement head for your new battle damaged Kup from the e-Hobby three pack, but afraid the color will clash? iGear has you covered. They've added a new listing to their website for Kup02, a head replacement color matched to e-Hobby's new deco. The set appears to be exactly the same as the previous set with both heads (cygar & cygar-less), the storage box, and mini screwdriver. The set is stock now for $18.00 with free shipping.

I have to give it to IGear, they did an amazing job with this. The difference between their custom Kup heads and the Hasbro one is like night and day, very happy with my purchase, just waiting to get it in the mail. Hopefully they make a head for last years Punch-CounterPunch thats bigger to fit the body and is a little more detailed. :D

I agree. I think they could make quite a few replacement heads for the Generations/RTS figures and make a good amount of money while greatly helpin their "image" as well.

not sure if I'll use them on the battle damaged Kup, but as Counterpunch told me, I'll feel stupid if I miss out on them. It is 1000 times better than the hasbro head. :grin:

Don't feel like deprecating an exclusive figure that I have to get in a $100 3-pack.

Decapitating?

More like removing a screw and popping another one in. You'll buy this...to the Living Ends. Starring James Bond.

As for this set, I'm passing. I don't plan on getting the E-Hobby set anyway. I have other things to spend that kind of money on....

I totally ordered mine soon as I saw the news. I'd already decided the e-Hobby Kup was gonna be the Kup for me after seeing pics and after not opening my spanking new United Kup because the metallic finish didn't extend to the truck bed…

I'm usually a Takara version snob, but United as been really hit or miss. Perceptor, Wreck-Gar, Scourge, and Kup have been definite misses IMO… Wish I hadn't opened that Scourge though and now I've got all these "Sweeps" with no leader :(

I'll wait to want one until they are sold out.

I like the comparison pic. Greatly shows the differences, subtle, and not so, between the three versions of the toy.

worked fine for me and I was on my iPhone. I wonder if maybe they have an auto inventory system to prevent overselling before the website is updated?
