You think they would have added some paint to Metalhead's accessories. I will just stick to the vintage toy. The original had Vac metal and light piping! 89 Metalhead for the win!

Wow, those flat red eyes are terrible!
S7 can never get anything right.
Metalhead is the big fail for this wave, like how
Mutagen man is not water tight in wave 2.

What's the point then I might as well just buy the box only.

But then again i guess Raphael's hands aren't up either
so they already messed up the position since wave 1.
Yeah that's a good point! I guess displaying with the slip covers on would be a little silly! Your right about Raph! I forgot that he had both his hands up. They did have cool positions in the bubble back in the day didn't they? Yeah Super 7 should have imitated that look.

Yeah the original metalhead is a classic! One of the standouts in the vintage line! Super 7 should have gone the extra mile with this one.

Now Donatello in November or December to complete the set.

I hate to say it, but April looks like a Mcdonalds Happy meal toy (and a blow up doll too )

I honestly think Wave 3 is a weak wave with the exception of Rocksteady and probably Mikey....I hope Wave 4 gets here sooner than later

Yeah, that was my first impression as well but it does vaguely look reminiscent of the source material (the Playmates vintage). Having said this, Super7 should have taken this opportunity to make an improved version, with each head representing various interpretations (vintage, v.2 and toon). Instead, it's basically three blow up doll type faces. I'll probably keep my preorder, mostly because modern April figures go up in value, despite the hate. They will probably make a do-over a few years down the line with a green jumpsuit.

does anyone know if this is real? the third head?

looks like a fan mock. either way, this is EXACTLY what super 7 needs to do, if not just change the default head to the one in the middle.

No idea. We will have to wait for a reviewer to show both sides of the shield.

As far as I know, Mondo only comes with one alternate head. Here’s the prototype: https://mobile.twitter.com/FwooshVee...404164/photo/4

SAME. hopefully they're listening. they apparently were listening with bebop, and this to me is a far bigger issue than pink-face bebop.

It’s photoshopped. I saw this on a different forum a few minutes ago.

I agree with you. Mondo with the blue eyebrow and black eyelids is the best version of the figure.
