Transformers 2021 Modern Figure in Retro Packaging Autobot Headmaster Highbrow with Xort

I remember when the Headmasters were introduced. It made kids believe that they could be the ones controlling these giant robots.

Exactly what I ordered. Great addition to my Transformer collection.

For display

Highbrow definitely looks nice and has good poseability, but he retains the same flaw as his original release carried over from his moldmate Scourge: the connector piece for the Titan Master to plug into is loose, meaning Highbrow has a bobblehead if the face peg is facing the correct way, and a lack of maneuverability if the head peg is turned 180 degrees. Got it on sale, so I got my money's worth at least, especially since this was apparently an existing flaw I would have known about if I did more research. One bigger complaint is that the plastic packaging is very tight and hard to remove the figure from. One of the tips on the guns actually broke off trying to remove the gun from the packaging, so anyone looking to buy this figure should take extra care when removing the guns, possibly resorting to cutting the packing around the guns rather than trying to pop them out.

I really like this Highbrow! The Headmasters throwback line has very solid and enjoyable figures- it's very similar to the Titans Return line in terms of mold and colors. It's become one of my favorites along with Chromedome. Anyone who likes the Retro lines of Transformers will probably enjoy adding this to their collection. This item normally retails for $20 or so, it is more of a Deluxe sized figure, so beware of the vendors that hike up the prices.
