Thanks to a scanned page of FigureKing No.227 from TAGhobby.com, we learned that TakaraTomy will be releasing six head-masters in a set dubbed LG-EX Head-Masters Set. The set consist of Grimlock, Chromedome, Gong (Brawn), Hardhead, Flywheels, and Brainstorm‘s head sculpts released in Hasbro’s Titans Return toyline with a few additional paint applications in robot mode.
According to information from FigureKing, the set will be available for 3,240 yen at WonderFest 2017 Winter in Japan that’s opening on February 19th. After February 25th, the set is said to be sold at Cybertron Satellite Shops and Takara Mall in Japan. Is this set for you? Check out the full page scan, and let us know your thoughts after the break.
Edit: Updated additional photos of head-master figures and sample image of existing figures with different Head-Masters.

That doesn't seem so far fetched considering the scheme for this set and how many heads have yet to be released by Takara. Would love it if they did the 3 Con Headmasters, Highbrow, Swoop, and just to fill things out Fangry.
Just noticed but my Flywheels has his hips assembled wrong so he doesn't transform flush like he should as a head. Where's that damn screw driver…..
jamarmiller
yeah, and I did have a bunch of other things ordered at the same time so the shipping on these for me was probably nothing more than what I was paying already on the other stuff. So maybe I made the right decision
OptimusNerd
RK a bit rich on the shipping, but they're actually a couple bucks cheaper than TTMall, no?
Thundershot
Right! Now we just need the others… At least one for Highbrow so the Autobots are finished.

This is exactly how I did mine. It's great to have options w/which head I want piloting the body at any given time. Plus the new guys from the box set do a absolutely fantastic job of filling in the gaps in the mini vehicles when they're transformed as weapons.
jamarmiller
crap, just after I ordered a set from Robot Kingdom. crap crap crap
Thundershot
My set will be here by Saturday. They look great. I hope we get the other classic Headmasters like this. I'll probably have the new guys pilot the included mini vehicles while the ones they come with pilot the main bodies.

The box set will be available for pre-order at TakaraTomy Mall beginning 17 Mar 12pm JST.
30 Mar release date.

okay so I put in a pre-order , Its basically going to cost me 7 dollars a head after shipping them to me, all I want is Brain storm
So if anyone wants the others its 7 dollars each head plus shipping, but I live in Japan so its going to be more expensive to ship than if I was in the USA but if your willing to wait a little longer then it could be fairly cheap if I send by boat.

I would love a set of rebirth heads. Was always miffed that the heads on the toys didn't look that way.
jamarmiller
Im a cartoon guy and I usually go with the more appearances look, so my first preference was the Jpns headmaster series. However with that said, I cant believe they havent done the Rebirth Heads. As for the toy heads, not interested in them.
Still would like this Brainstorm head
SouthtownKid
As far as preferences go, I want Sunbow Rebirth accuracy over Headmasters or toy accuracy, so I'm still waiting for most of "my" Headmaster heads to get any release at all.
Another couple quick observations: it's Flywheel (no S), and that's not kanji. It's katakana.

Personally, I favor the G1 toy-accuracy over either Rebirth or the Japanese cartoon designs.
Just saying we're out here, too.
GoLion
I'm on the boat with you. I kind of want Headmaster cartoon accuracy over Toy accuracy. I have the G1 headmasters. I want the cartoon versions dammit. I feel like Hasbro should do something similar with the Japanese heads.

Well that's my reason for wanting the Japanese heads, at least for Hardhead. I want my Headmasters to be Rebirth-accurate, not G1 toy-accurate. With the exception of Cerebros, who I felt wasn't worth the new Fortress Maximus purchase.
Bass X0
Well, as everybody should know, Hasbro's head was based on the original 1987 toy. Strangely, neither Rebirth or the Headmasters cartoon used the toy design despite the toy coming first. I would like Furos to be remolded again with the Rebirth Hardhead head. Highbrow should have a repainted head in Rebirth colors.

Hey, it's more accurate than the mouthplate…

Quick observation:
It's FLYWHEELS, not Skytread: compare the Kanji on he box with https://s3.amazonaws.com/tf.images/reduced-jg1d97fl-b.jpg
