Long shot but it could also be the inevitable Ragnarok MCU fig we'll be getting. He's actually wearing the helmet (finally!) in the promo art.

Nothing is indicative that Death's Head II will be a BAF, he just looks like he will be built around the new Colossus which is an individual contributing to the Technarch Warlock BAF. It's better if he is an individual since he seems desired, personally I always preferred Death's Head over the second because he was goofy looking and it fit the comedy vibe while Death's Head II was another '90s excess creation in design. I'm not hating II completely, just saying I prefer the classic look for the guy.

And yah time to break out the spider spray. Its like walking through the tunnel in the beginning of raiders of the lost ark haha

I'm with you on the white plastic, my fantomex looks like someone pissed on him.

Yeah en, I thought for sure deaths head in the 375 scale was going to be hot as hell, due to his farmiliarity with marvel, dr who and transformers, but he was peg warming decently. I'd still prefer him in legends scale to DH2, unless he comes with a severed DH1 head as an accessory. That would be cool...

And I know his moment kind of passed, but I'm surprised we didn't get deathlok in legends, he was in x force, xmen, and on agents of shield a couple years back.

We could still get Deathlok, with such a number now of totally out there D-list villains getting figures Deathlok is still on the table and he's more known than the likes of Eel. Darkhawk is about to get a figure and he's less known than Deathlok by a margin since he hasn't been a part of anything big recently (though Darkhawk does have his fans, myself included). My only hope for a Deathlok would be that it uses either his classic design or the more known design of the '90s and his appearance in Uncanny X-force (basically an upscale of his awesome 4" MU figure). If they instead used the current Deathlok from the agents of SHIELD comics I'd pass on it sadly since I don't dig that look much.

It's also not as though it's the first prototype Hasbro's shown that either took a while to come out or didn't come out at all.

*Pours one out for Songbird and Blade*

His gun arm looks top be tooled off of Titus' gun arm, but I could be wrong.

Rite Aid selling 865 stores :: WRAL.com

So with Walgreens exclusive MLs, Walgreens just had a merger with Rite Aid , some Rite Aids will turn to Walgreens so there will be more Walgreens to check and look for exclusives.

Why does that picture have him with a cape when the toy doesn't come with one? o_O

I prefer Death's Head II. He's called Death's Head, but the first one was hard to take seriously. The second version looked like someone who was ready to rip your spine out.

Because the character and his comics were meant to be comedic I just prefer the look that more fits that aspect (He wasn't funny when he was first introduced but it quickly became a trait). Death's Head II is the more menacing space mercenary aspect and yeah I get that if that's what you like more for the character then that can be your preferred look but I'll always remember Death's Head as a goofy robot trying to make a living in space.

I like DH II better however i also like the first version as well. Im also with you on a deathlok figure. The 90s version is ideal, the newer one sucked...

Death's Head is the guy that always says "Yes" yes?

kylactus · 01-02-2017, 09:25 PM

Yes

Also, a 6" original Death's Head would be a great addition for us Transformers collectors. The 3 3/4" one suffices, but I'd love to have a bigger one.

Hell, even a BAF would be good. He's been depicted as rather large.

Yeah, didn't he show up as like a giant in an Iron Man story recently (past few years)?

See, and that is why I couldn't get into the original, he was too comedic. Basically though, DHII to me looked like someone turned a Predator into a machine.

..just because.

Originally he was transformer size, then later on they made him more to a human size. I really wanted to get his figure but couldn't justify owning the 4 inch one.. i would have nothing to do with it.

Augustus_Cole · 01-03-2017, 09:28 AM

Does anyone want the SDCC Raft packaging(box)??
PM me..

Mine just sits with my TFs for the time being.

Hasbro really needs to get up off of some accessory packs...it's time.

Some Marvel mainstay items like the Cosmic Cube or the Ultimate Nullifier might be fun.
