My pol is empty and turned off, so once this baby hits bbts, it comes right to my house! Can't wait!

Really solid looking add-on kit here. I can't wait for BBTS to start shipping these out.

I am going to have to ship a much smaller POL soon after this guy gets instock. It looks really nice and does add a special touch to a boring repaint.

It looks so good. Too bad Hardhead never came out in Canada, and eBay prices are through the roof.

If I weren't already using my Hardhead as a G1 Bulkhead, I would SO pick that up! And if anybody doesn't want the weapons pack PM me. It would go great with the Roadbuster I made!

I can't wait for this to come in. Now I'm curious to see what their Onslaught head will look like. So far, I'm liking what I see with Headrobots. Nice to have another competent 3rd party company.

I finally got to watch this review last night and WOW amazing!! This new head makes Hardhead look like a brand new figure! Just like Venksta made the new head for Skyfall and i really like his work! Just waiting something about Darkwing and the rest is history.

Now Im sold on it. I actually bought Hardhead when he first came out just for the hell of it since I liked the Onslaught mold. It was always in the back of my shelf and I was about to put away to make room for better figures. I was shocked to see hoarders selling the damn Hardhead for 99 dollars on ebay...shame onm them !!! I had seen a new Hardhead and Skyjack a few weeks ago in walmart. I hope the hoarders didnt get those too...

Yeah- a Onslaught head? I don't have Hardhead, but do have onslaught. I was thinking of getting Hothead just to see what it would look like on Onslaught.......

I agree here. I never had a chance to buy the Hardhead repaint since I never saw one and it's hard to find now. I would love an Onslaught repaint just to be able to have it...If no the head then at least the weapons pack

Well, based on how many repaints their Snake head received, id say your wish is a very real possibility.

As long as they do it in the takara colors it would be incredible. Just an overall nicer paint scheme on the takara version.

I cannot for the life of me remember where I heard this. So just chalk it up as a rumor for now, but I think HR may do a head for Onslaught and it will actually be a different head and not just a straight repaint of what they have now. This is one of those things I locked away in my memory banks. I just remembered that I had to keep both my US and Japan Onslaughts.
