These 3rd party companies are sending me broke

And I'm trying to get out of classics collecting...

So far every entry in this series has been total win in terms of quality, sculpt, and transformation joy, words fail me with this series, they are just soo good so far.

So I cannot wait for this guy to come out, forget finishing Feral Rex, or getting Fanstoy Swoop, this is now my most anticipated toy.

Note to FP make more of these, and faster, and then no the Horrorcons and Targetmaster please.

They went the other way and went with the current trend - Dinobots. But I'm pretty sure they're offering would be awesome.

In love with that bat-mode. So evil. Glad they didn't go with G1-brown.

Blah. ROTF Mindwipe leaves this thing for dead.

ROTF Mindwipe while nice is a fail. Not a Bat or Headmaster..Or looks like him.

But still cool

Its too bad headrobots really take a long time to release anything as their upgrade kit made rotf mindwipe redeeming

The toy was cool but it was pretty much a nameslap. Not really a good representation of the G1 character.

I really loved the ROTF Mindwipe, a brilliant design in a fantastic Alt Mode and fit the Movie Universe to a T in my mind.

This Mindwipe looks to be a brilliant modernisation of the original headmaster concept. I haven't seen quad U yet but the other 2 from this line have been surprisingly impressive. I don't even collect many unofficial transformers products.

I wonder if the Hasbro offering of an official headmaster(as seen at Botcon) will effect the overall sales of this guy?

It never really has unless the 3P ends up being crap which given the high standards track record of this line, I highly doubt it.

However it does work like that the other way around too. If Hasbro makes a crap toy, fans tend to ignore and flock to the 3P although Hasbro would always make their numbers in store sales so it is of less impact than an badly received 3P.

I don't have access to the pics I took at Botcon but you get the general idea below:





And this guy does look very good. it's a question of whether this is a one off effort or if it's the start of something more longer lasting.

I like that the headmaster head mode is new but the robot mode is very G1. Also glad his release falls alongside MOTUC Intergalactic Skeletor, pile of loot will hopefully reduce the shipping burden of that from BBTS.

Hasbro is not really consistent so who knows.

Looking at it again, i hope there's enough space on his chest for a Decepticon symbol sticker... looks like it could be a tight fit.
