Hi guys,
I am going to order a Cobra Headmaster from TFsource since they seem to have the lowest shipping cost.

If anyone wants in please let me know.
If Headrobot sells enough units they will be able to fund their Hot Head project:

Put me down for one. Thanks.
That's a really cute idea and I love the alternate packaging. Nicely done - I wonder what the quality is like...
Ooooh, ME, me, me, me!!! put me in for one pls! Thanks!
They claim that its the same quality as the real Headmaster G1 heads.Quote:

Group Order:
Kup x1
Gamblor x1
LiegePrime x1
I wonder what other Headmaster concept heads did Takara have that didnt make it into production? How many more heads are we talking about here? Im hoping at least about 4 variants more.:D Would these concept art possibly be in the Generations book Gok has? My HK version certainly doesnt have it.

As long as they don't plan to do any replica Headmaster Heads that have been officially released by Hasbro/Takara...
I wouldn't want to see these initial projects funding unauthorised replicas later.
There is nothing in their future plans that indicate replication of official toys so there is no reason to think that they will.Quote:

I will be sending payment requests to people on the list tomorrow morning.
List so far:
Kup x1

LiegePrime x1
Fatbot x 1
optimus1 x 1
I take it as long as I don't mind paying the postage to Perth I can put my name down?
Kup x1
Gamblor x1
LiegePrime x1
Fatbot x 1
optimus1 x 1
1orion2many x 1
Sure, no problem but it may be easier for you to order directly or create a Perth group. Much of the savings will likely disappear with the postage cost to Perth on top of your share of the group postage from US to Australia.Quote:

:)No I'm good, I don't mind paying the extra postage and I'm too lazy to organise another group:D
Sure no problem. Once the list is finalized I will work out the shared postage to Sydney and let you guys know. We can work out postage from Sydney to Perth at a later time to keep things simple.Quote:

The heads are still yet to be shipped out. Perhaps TFsource have not gotten the stock yet.
Good news guys. I just got confirmation that the Cobra heads have been shipped.
:D
Great News!
Damn I wish I had money for these :( They do look cool.
:DWOOHOO:D
Yay!
Cobra Headmasters have arrived. That was quick! :)
All 6x Cobra heads are accounted for.
They are nicely presented to as the packaging is professionally done. Headrobots seem to be serious about providing quality.

:cool: No worries. Hopefully it is ok, the demo pics have it on fitting on most bodies anywayQuote:

yay!, drats I knew I shouldve kept that extra transtector body , grrr now to look for one at Parra fair
I opened mine and had a little play with it. The quality is good but its not the same as the original G1 Headmasters. However it is indeed nicely molded with no defects that I can see but the plastic is of a different kind than the original, it's up to you to decide your preference but it's certainly not inferior just different.
Although this new plastic is not as glossy as the original headmasters and more mat, it does seem to be stronger and more flexible therefore tolerant to cracks and other brittleness issues that plagued the originals.
When I get home, I will plug him into a Transtecor and see how it goes.
Guys,
Let me know how you would like your Cobra Headrobot delivered to you or if you wish to wait until the next Parra fair. 1Orion2many's has already been sent.
Thanks

The saving on shipping only comes in when ordered in pairs.
