Generally, I think the Japanese "G1" cartoons aren't rated very highly for their quality or dub.
I think the charm is that it's a (somewhat) continuation during the late 80's/early 90's that provided some Transformers content after the US G1 show ended.
Also, there were occaisional characters and storylines that indeed stood out.

Agreed. It's not like any of the autobot headmasters really have distinct personalities. Chromedome is a wiener. Scorponok is great. There is way too much Daniel. Has its moments. Despite what some say, u enjoyed the death fight between blaster and Soundwave. And the explanation for headmasters that doesn't involve squoshies. Otherwise eh

Re: Walmart US Retro Headmasters
To JLvatton...how dare you point out my truth!!!!!
The packaging for the G1 reissues, especially Blaster, has been pretty flimsy, and easily damaged. So it may be difficult to get minty boxes if you want that sort of thing.

Do you mean Chromedome is a Whiner, or he's a Weinee!
I didn't mind Daniel in US cartoon, but just 1 Headmasters ep was too much Daniel!
Traditionally, Japanese names end in vowel sounds, so I've been told. So Spike became "Spiko" in Japan.
Unfortunately when dubbing to English, the translation fools translated Spiko to "Sparkle".
The ep I saw had Spike get injured and Daniel is crying, "Sparkle! Oh Sparkle!"
It was so annoying and ridiculous.

Maybe shelf-warming will bring an eventual liquidation?
What do you mean?

When people start touching them bang them or store employees put the merchandise out and cut the boxes with a box cutter handling when put out.

Re: Walmart US Retro Headmasters
I might not mind doubling up on Hardhead, since these new toys will have plastic colors that match Hasbro's Titans Return iterations. Would give me a color-matched alt. head to go with my Titans Return Hardhead.

Ouch for the box cutters. Some TF fans should volunteer to go to Walmart and tell them,
"Hey, Careful!"

Sparkle is about as serious as Homer on that box of pop-rocks.
Some might say even less.
