I can't say either, as I don't actually own any, but they look pretty good. (most of them anyway)
I'm considering some headmasters as my first toys.

I'm looking for a couple, all though they aren't too high priority:
Sixshot, Chromedome etc.

not sure what i have which is part of this i do have sixshot though?

[Autocon]

Yup, that's fer sure

I don't have many and the ones I have are reissues, but I'd have to say of the (very few) in my collection, I really love Star Convoy. I was expecting it to suck, but despite being a large hollow block, I found it a really good playset!

Sixshot definitely counts, as he was a really significant/pivotal character in JP Headmasters... but barely featured in the Western canon.

... but barely featured in the Western canon.

Which is sad

Drawing from my own 1st hand experience only...

What are your Best and Worst toys of this series?

Best:

• Scorponok
• Mindwipe
• Skullcruncher

Worst:

• Misfire
• Twincast (Handled)
• Soundblaster (Handled)

What was your first one, and when?
My first figure that I owned of the above was Scorponok of whom I bought from 1AZRAEL1 in 2010, He has been a labour of love in that I had to piece-meal him to completion (To which he is now 110% complete! ) and whilst he owes me a hell of a lot of money, he remains to be one of my top 3 favourite G1 figures of all time.

What ones are you most looking for and why?
I am currently looking for Weirdwolf's Head (Monzo) but am most looking for Encore Fortress Maximus, who I should receive mid year for the reasons of:

• His head is a Headmaster,
• Who's Head is also a Headmaster.
• Body turns into a massive Battle-station.
• Is a HUGE Robot Toy with many other smaller robot toys comprised within him!

What are your Best and Worst toys of this series?
I don't know if I would say best but I have a soft spot forMetrotitan from Zone.
Worst maybe Billy as they called him in the English dubbing (Twincast)


What was your first one, and when?
Not sure on this one? Are we including the U.S versions? I can remember getting all 4 Autobot Headmasters early on

What ones are you most looking for and why?
Most probably Deathsuarus or LioKaiser. I love gesalt sets but there is something about Deathsaurus that I really like, Most probably because he's a large figure
