Herocross has shares via their Twitter account new images or their Hyper Detail G1 Portrait series 1 Collection which Are Coming In November.
These cool and detailed heads of classic G1 characters were first seen in our coverage of ACGHK 2017 – Animation-Comic-Game Hong Kong Day and now we have now a better look at these head sculpts of Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Arcee, Devastator, Soundwave and Starscream. The heads come with a nice base showing a big Autobot or Decepticon insignia and we can confirm that they will come with light up eyes too. The tweet announces that these products will be available in November, so please keep and eye on our sponsors to grab yours.
As an extra bonus, we also have images of Herocross SDF EX G1 figures Series 2. These cute SD or “Chibi” styled Transformers bring us Optimus, Megatron, Jazz, Bumblebee, Soundwave and Starscream. It only indicates that they will be available soon.
You can check the mirrored images after the jump and then sound off at the 2005 Boards!

Bravo! Post of the thread.

Can't say I really care for any of it. Maybe if they chibi figures had some articulation I'd bite, but really have no interest in something that just stands there collecting dust.

The SD series heads are creepy AF

My God, that Arcee is horrifying. That low-set helmet makes her look evil, as if she's the psychopathic killer from early IDW.
I also dislike the large eyes on the SD figures. They look weird.
The rest of the busts look fine but meh.

That was my reaction too. What is it with ugly statues and busts? Every time I see this kind of garbage, I feel the kind of rage a starving 3rd worlder must feel when they see a rich tourist throw away perfectly good food. Here you have access to manufacturing capacity and licensing where most of us have the door slammed in our faces if we were able to get it opened at all and _this_ is what you choose to squander it on?

The heads look fairly good, but I really don't like the stands with the giant logos.

Nice but not enough to get me to open my wallet.

I think they're made to look different/stylized. So IDK why everyones complaining. I wonder (bet) if the 1st 3 cool fans here posted they liked them, a lot of ppl would be saying different shit. That said I like the idea of a posable heads/busts kinda things with light up eyes. Pretty neat. They may be stylized but other then Bumblebee, who still definitely looks the part, they look ok imo. But not at all like the cartoon.

As it turns out, Herocross is owned by Lord Chumley…

Arcee looks really wrong for some reason. Too… soft looking? And her helmet's a little oversized. The face and eye shape is also off. It reminds me of fanart of Arcee rather than her original appearance.
OP is stylin' though.
The only other problem I have with the stuff, including the teeny cute renderings, is that the shiny paint is kinda too glossy on the face: the shadows make the features look weird on the mini-Megatron and the Bee head. Also mini Starscream's eyes are shaped oddly and are kind of large for his face, even in this cutesy style.

Why are they posed in front of the Ark? They're just heads.

Soundwavr has always been my favorite. SO HAPPY TO SEE SOMEONE FINALLY GET HIS NAME RIGHT!

If these were available in blind packs for $7 at Walmart, I'd be all over them.

It's probably the lack of a body.

Hmm how much are these heads?

I dunno if I'd call them 'Hyper' Detailed. Detailed somewhat, maybe. Can't quite put my finger on it but I look at them and feel kinda unfulfilled.
