Welcome Brett to the Free Rider HD development team!
He was the one who migrated all of the heads from mobile over to web.

As you will see, we changed how you get heads. They are now given at random and each subsequent "card" costs more. We will be having lots more contests to earn more coins so you guys can collect them all!

Happy new year! Lots in store for you in 2018.
