Welcome to our third lockdown this month alone. Just a week ago, right before the April Long Weekend we were given a lockdown of the social hotspots. Then this past Tuesday we were told a new lockdown started that just added schools to it. Finally, just two days ago on Thursday, we were given yet another addition which eliminated all non essential shopping and reinforced stay at home.
Having said all that, today I'll be looking at what is probably the last in person toy purchase for who knows how long, namely the Walmart exclusive G1 Style Headmaster releases. More specifically, it's Hardhead, who I happened across one night randomly.. Others in the line include Chromedome, Braindstorm, and Mindwipe.
So the line itself is pretty straight forward. Back in 2018, the classic Headmasters were released as part of the Titans Return lineup. These particular characters were Deluxe sized, retailing for $19.99 CAD. Back then, there was no Unified Product, so Hasbro and Takara did their own thing.
Hasbro leaned toward decos that mimicked the actual 80s toys, where Takara made theirs more cartoon accurate. Hasbro, with this G1 retro style lineup, kind of meshed up the two extremes by using the same Titan Master/Headmasters as the Takara toys (which I think were released separately here anyway), adding some additional paint/decals/decos, and of course a new G1 style box.
Of course, all this nostalgia costs money, with the MSRP being $32.99 CAD, which brings it in line with all the modern figure pricing, though admittedly it was nice to see that classic artwork on the back of the box in stores once again.
So the actual contents of the box are effectively unchanged, other than the instruction sheet having a more G1 style appearance. You get the vehicle (or Transtector if you're a Japanese G1 fan like me), the Titan Master (Duros) and technically you get two guns - one large cannon and one for the fist.
Hardhead doesn't have a waist or articulated ankles, but otherwise your typical Deluxe class range of motion and joints are present, including rotating wrists, and a functional head joint thanks to the Titan Master itself having an articulated head, accompanying basic head and let movement. Materials feel light and flimsy as usual, sand to me somehow the joint that holds the large cannon feels loose, as does the actual connection point between the cannon and the rifle.
The main differences, I found, were as follows:
Main colour scheme now features a light tan/brown in place of the grey on the original release, though not as strong of a colour on the Takara. I think the orange of the canopy is closer to what Takara used. The Hardhead face is, naturally, now changed.
There's also a few new splashes of paint - silver and red breakup the pure black on the tank tread covers, the deco on the waist area of robot mode is slightly different, and there was a splash of extra colour on the forehead of the Titan Master itself. There is also an additional tampo of the Autobot sigil on the front of the tank, along with what I believe are heat applied stickers of sorts for the robot thighs.
So are these aesthetic changes worth the 60% jump in MSRP? Well... from a value perspective, I don't think so, but I will admit that the improvements will result in a sizable price increase, especially the shipping as there's now much more empty space to account for. If the increase was more like the US price of $5 or so over the MSRP of the Titans Returns line, I'd be more inclined to agree.
But I will admit that the whole package tugs at my childhood.
Besides... while it is expensive, at least I actually found one myself. at retail With the way things are going, who knows when the next time I can say that will be.
Race the Waves is one of the UK’s most exciting vintage motorsport events, held annually on the sandy beaches of Bridlington, East Yorkshire. It's a celebration of classic speed, style, and seaside culture, where the roar of engines meets the roar of the crowd. Hosted by Backfire Promotions, the event brings together a vibrant mix of vintage and retro vehicles in a dynamic beach drag race setting.
You'll see an incredible variety of machines, from pre-1950s hot rods, bobbers and custom motorcycles to military vehicles and American classics. The cars and bikes aren’t just for show, they race head-to-head in thrilling sprints across the beach, kicking up sand and nostalgia in equal measure. There’s no official timing, it’s all about style, sound and spectacle.
Quién me iba decir a mí, que podría pillar olitas en Camboya...! No debe ser tan raro, pues había un negocio de alquiler de tablas, más que nada de windsurf, aunque también había algún SUP y tablón. Según en qué época, debe entrar más mar. El día anterior a la foto, debió estar más grande... Una pena que no descubriéramos esta playa hasta el día siguiente.

Choker beaded - retro inspired/ Cleo choker
This beautiful choker is made by 1mm glass beads and a tiny drop glass beads, strung on a resistant bead stringing wire with a clasp and adjustable chain. A tiny matching bead is added to the end of the chain, so the necklace looks pretty on the back of the neck.
The choker is inspired by one of the first fashion icon, Cleo de Merode, a French famous dancer of the Belle Époque that often appeared with a long necklace with beads around the neck.
You can find it on silver - red or gold- green colors.
The choker is about 39 cm (15,3 inch) length with a 5,5 cm (2,1 inch) extender chain for a possible total length of 45 cm (17,4 inches).
The necklace that you see in the photos is the same one that will arrive at your house in a beautiful gift box.
You can find so many articles of retro inspiration in my shop AMORETRO: www.etsy.com/es/shop/Amoretro?ref=shop_sugg

The term "collective memory" denotes the aggregate of memories, knowledge, and data that a social group holds, which is intrinsically linked to the group's identity. The term "collective memory" in English and its French counterpart "la mémoire collective" emerged in the latter half of the 19th century. Maurice Halbwachs, a philosopher and sociologist, further developed this concept in his 1925 work, «Les cadres sociaux de la mémoire». Both expansive and intimate social collectives can create, disseminate, and inherit collective memory.
Contrary to the term "collective memory," which is somewhat ambiguously defined yet generally accepted, the notion of "collective memories" is inherently problematic. Memories are the results of the individual acts of recollection, making the idea of "collective memories" paradoxical. Сontemporary diffusion models utilize vast amounts of often unidentified data, including historical and personal old photographs, vintage postcards, and other kinds of publicly circulating images. These models may be seen as involved in the prompts-driven singular acts of remembrance, producing images that paradoxically represent "collective memories," something otherwise unfeasible and ultimately, non-existent.
