Yeah, not digging these. Hopefully, I can control myself and not place an order.

They don't do much for me.
First we've seen or heard of them though, huh?

I sat there last night baffled at the picture. At first I thought it was a generic picture with really bad photo shopped place holders but then I notice they were listed as singles. Just a couple of them interest me. The repaint Duke as I plan on putting a SHIELD agent head on there so I can have a makeshift Grunt. Then the Flint and Scarlett are pretty cool.

I generally heat the heads by warming a small cup or dish of water in the microwave. Then put the portion of the figure (in this case the head) in the hot water for about a minute. Pull the figure out and dry it off with a paper towel real quick (because boiling hot water on my hands sucks!) and pop the head off.
I've never tried the blow dryer method but I hear it works. It just sounds like it takes longer and I'm not real patient.

No problem. Just try and let the "male" piece cool off a bit before putting the head back on. It will make it easier to pop onto the body. And that sounded WAY too dirty to be on a board talking about toys.
Anyway I'm glad I might have pushed you over the edge. I didn't want to be the only one crazy enough to order a bunch of repaints.

You know, I really LOVE the Transformers RH, and I LIKE the Combat Heroes, but those look like crap. No new molds at all, just a bunch of ugly repaints!
Sad to say, but I'm gonna have to pass on this wave.
Craptacular

I've never done any customs, but I'm inching towards trying it. Especially if we never get any further Classic Waves.
Does anyone else think a repainted Movie Duke might make a good General Rey?
I like the Movie Hawk... Not his head though. Maybe I could put a Classic Duke head on the Movie Hawk's body, and just paint brown hair on him? I wish Han Solo's head was articulated so I could use that for Hawk's head.
