Interestingly (and uttterly bizarrely) Bandai Europe planned their own unique version of Stonehead. Named Stonehead Mountain this playset looked less like the movie version though incorporated features from it like a tumbler & ultra sceptre altar. Love how you plug Rock Lords into the exterior!

Stonehead Mountain, an unproduced playset shown in the 1987 Euro Bandai Gobots catalogue. Shaped like the torso of a giant rock man with his arms folded over his chest. You can plug Granite, Tombstone and Sticks ‘N’ Stones into sockets on the arms and chest whilst other ticks can sit in hopes on his shoulders and forehead (the pic uses Magmar, Boulder and Nuggit. The interior is a two-levelled Castle Grayskull-ish affair with a working winch, obligatory jail cell, stairs, a “tumbler” cylinder and an altar which you can fill with weapons to power up the included ultra sceptre - just like in the film!
