I thought I had a bite to get one of these, but it was a no-go. Drop me a line if you might be able to help!

The toxin kit is... kinda cute 
The Onslaught upgrade makes no real sense to me, but it is very cool looking and I wouldn't mind having one. Goodluck to you Canadians and American travelers in getting your hands on these sets (and one for you good friend GRR 
)

Poor Weirdwolf, being reincarnated as a mushroom head. Theres too many Monzos on e-bay for anyone to seriously buy this mold.

I suppose it's like the Junkion Blacksmith Headmasters. No REAL purpose or place, just cool. I don't think there is any official canon about a headmaster that turns into a cobra tank thing....but it's neat.

I got the Snake Villain a while ago… it's okay, very simplistic.
Nice as a one-off but I wouldn't go out of my way for a duplicate of the mold.

Had a blast at TFcon this year. Some of my haul is still on the floor (yes, it's shameful, I know). I need to get some more shelf space!
