Head Shots Vol. 5 in exclusive colors

Head Shots Vol. 5 is a set of the toy heads made by Play With This Too. They are designed in several color sets, and when placed on toy bodies form different fictional characters.

Lost Protectors

Head Shots Vol. 5 includes three heads designed by Steve Redinger. They are shaped like combat helmets.

In their exclusive colors the heads are the characters Bruiser, Secton and Tark. In the retail colors they are the characters Blight Knight, Duke Xorax and Sir Borsss.

Rik Alvarez has commented that the heads are battle masks used by The Mighty Muscules in his famous matches. The Bruiser helmet is from the battle of Muscules vs. the Jerks of Regulon 7. The Secton helmet is from the battle of Muscules vs. the Guys at the Laundry Mart. The Tark helmet is from the battle of Muscules vs. the Dudes From That Planet.

Fans have said that the head of Blight Knight has a design similar to that of the G.I. Joe character Big Boa, Secton is similar to the helmet used by E.C.O. Fighter Flint and Ozone and Tark is similar to a Techno-Viper.
