    well technically Grapple did show up in Season 1, very briefly, as Hauler.

    I couldn't take it anymore. MP Grapple's alt mode back side is just too plain! After having MP Artfire in hand and observing the alt mode tampos it has, I came to the conclusion that I needed to get an MP Grapple label set from Toyhax/Reprolabels. So that's what I did.

    Need a little advice: is $100.00 MISB + free shipping for this guy a good price? I'm thinking about getting him. I know little about the character but watching a few vids on this figure he does look pretty cool.

    thanks!

    Do it. It's one of the better designed MP's ever, and so much FUN to transform. This is the ONLY Grapple out there IMO and worth it at full price. $100 is insane.

    The other options, while cheaper, are non existent.

    Thanks guys! I just bought him!

    On Ebay from a US seller (100% rating too). It was listed for $120.00 but I offered him a "Best Offer" of 100.00 and he accepted.

    Nice score.

    Most sellers would decline an offer that low. I've encountered too many sellers who will sell somthing for $12, have the "make offer" option" but not accept an offer for less than $11 or $10. I'm like dude if that's the case just sell it for $12 with no "make offer" option and stop wasting people's time.

    He arrived today. Wow. This guy is rock solid and feel fantastic in hands. Everything seems to be nice and tight.

    I need a little help tho, can u guys check to see if I collapsed the crane to his back correctly, like does it sit flat enough against his back (second pic)?

    I did the same thing. I also bought MMC/Ocular Max Girder, and Girder blows Grapple away with all the lovely chrome bits. But I love them both equally, and the reprolabels, though not chrome, fixes a lot of what bugs me on Grapple's rear end/feet. :)

    It looks like that rear orange panel could fit more closely, where the crane folds up into his back:

    looks like the flap circled in red is not transformed properly. it should be completely under the head laying flat.
    after that the backpack should collapse completely.

    Yeah the last time I transformed him I had the same problem you were having and for the life of me couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong.

    I really can't say enough good things about this figure. He's just so much fun to play with and transform.

    The ratchets are all perfect, the paints are beautiful, the plastics quality & overall build are very robust (never do I have to force anything or feel like I'm going to break something), the transformation is just so clever and fun (like it is a MP that's built to be played with).

    Wow this is pretty much my dream MP. Please TT make more MPs like this one.
