While we're talking about new minifig heads, (Racers in particular) I'd like
to discuss *my* favorite. I think the head from 4583 has gotta be one of
the weirdest heads I've ever seen. I love it. I spotted this dude back
when we had the first scans of the 2002 catalog. What the heck is he?! I
don't know but I like him.
I took some pictures of the head while it was trying on some different
bodies:

After the head was finished he got back on his ride.
Speaking of his ride. I dig this set so much its nuts. In a time when many
Lego themes seem to go downhill you do havta say that these little "Racers"
are better in 2002 then those *things* that came out this year.
Cool things about this set:
-Mister Crazy Head.
-the weird green slope in the front
-the 2 lime green fender things
-good tires (comes with 6)
-good wheels (comes with 6)
-trans smoke visor! (x2)
-oh yeah lets not forget the most powerful pull back motor (for its size) in
the universe. Its not so much speed I notice with this thing as power.
This little thing will zoom over thick carpet and just keep going. I still
have no idea how long it will roll-- it always hits a wall. I had it on my
kitchen floor and it bounced off the walls like a pinball. (does 4585 have
the larger pullback motor thats been out for awhile?)
-also it comes with extra pieces not used in the instructions so you can
customize the ride. Neat.
Do yourself a favor and buy at least one of these sets. (When I can I'm
gonna by a couple of each.)
-Jon (who's gotta think of a name for Mister Crazy Head. Hmmm maybe thats
it.)
