Wave 2 reissue Titans Return Headmasters

What's the news on these coming to Australia? I really like the idea of grabbing them but I don't order from overseas much.

It's an alternative world where 1984 never ended! (Hang on, that sounds like Transformers design aesthetic for the last 10 years...)

That's the reason Titans Return was my favourite CHUG toyline over the past decade. The Headmasters got their own molds with the Headmaster gimmick and not being retools in most instances.

I don't think we ever received confirmation either way whether local retail will stock them.
I hope Kmart stocks them. Maybe seeing the vintage boxes in person would tempt me enough to buy them even though they aren't straight reissues of the OG.

The Retro Headmasters weren't on the list of expected upcoming toys for Australia last year, but a surprise today... we are supposed to be getting them. Both waves if there aren't any problems in the next few months.

The first wave of four (Chromedome, Hardhead, Brainstorm, Mindwipe) should be in Target by early March.
The second wave of three (Highbrow, Skullcruncher, Weirdwolf) should be in Target in the second half of the year.

So it's a bit like the Buzzworthy Bumblebee toys... if you are willing to wait, the toys will be here 2-3 months after America and Asia. And if you aren't willing to wait, or fear missing out (or just don't have a Target handy... or expect Target prices to be shocking), import them when they get released overseas.

That's fantastic news. I'm interested in Brainstorm and Skullcruncher, but really want to see them in hand before deciding whether to buy. Not keen on ordering these online because i am after minty fresh boxes and neither TFSource nor BBTS has them.
