    Default G1 Encore Ironhide and Ratchet head set: Anyone try these?

    I'm about to acquire both G1 Ironhide and G1 Ratchet for the first time within the next week and then I stumbled upon this whilst browsing ebay:

    http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....MEWA:IT&ih=008

    I know that these two Transformers both originally came with cardboard head pieces. I was just wondering if anyone else here has used similar items on their own G1 Ironhide and Ratchet figures, or what the quality of these aftermarket pieces are like. I don't know what the heads of the Encore editions of these two Autobots are like and whether they resemble the pieces that I've linked to, so any other details regarding these newer head pieces would be great.

    Ask Juzmel she already has it on her figures. I ordered 4 of these but its with kup ATM and will claim it once we meet , prolly around Nov. for the Parra Fair meet. Apparently its quite good ( or so Im told) which is why I ordered 4.
    They clip on the robot seat and fold down when transforming in vehicle mode so you dont have ta remove em. Which is neat coz you dont have to store em somewhere when the fig is in vehicle mode.
    Wanted AM partner Vanguard, Myclones Dirge, G1 Victory Leo, e-hobby Dark scream ( the black version), e-hobby Magnificus
    Parts- AM partner Basher-side guns, G1 Actionmaster Elite Windmill's blades[I][B]

    This Shanghai seller's price (at least the item itself) is much better than what I could get. It looks like he's operating from Australia as well.

    heeheehee JuzMel here... Yeah that ebay listing that you saw, the price is actually much better than what I paid for from an online toy store. I paid about AUD$25 for mine shipped. And if you want to see how they look like on the figures, check out Kyle thread:

    I took a close up photo of the heads with my figures too, but I can't remember exactly which Acquisition thread I posted on. I think most probably August one. I like the heads, the make the figure look more complete and they even fold in nicely when you transform them back to vehicle mode.

    I've got them and I think they're excellent for that G1 cartoon feel.
