think we'll get a us release of mp grimlock? i hope so.

 

Yes to the first and second notion, sir! Id bet my grimy little fingers thay the supposed "haters" would be ALL over the MP Grimmie like flies to garbage... wait, that didnt come out right.  

 

mp grimlock looks awesome. i dont know if ill be able to wait for his hasbro release like i origionally planned.

 

Yeah, I love MP Grimlock. That said... I'm not entirely sold on the price, but I'll pick him up anyways. Frankly, from the beginning when his price was announced I'd been saying that it had less to do with any complexity in the mold or amount of die-cast Takara was going to use and more because of who the freaking' character is. They know people will kill for a toon accurate G1 Grimmy... especially with all the Marvel comics nods he's coming with too.

 

Mickey looks really cool. I think we may actually pick up the Disney label stuff.

 

Light purple or not, Henkei Cyclonus looks AWESOME.

 

Which ones have done it better?

 

Megs will go great with my universe collection.

 

I agree with both statements.

Man, the more I look at Grimlock, the more I want two. If Hasbro does decide to release it, I'll probably buy one of theirs too.

If they actually are going to release it, I think it would be smart of them to speak up, as some of us who are buying the TakaTomy version would wait if Hasbro would just confirm they're releasing it. However, for me at least, no confirmation means I'm going with the Japanese version.

 

That is one pansy shade of purple Cyclonus is sporting there. Glad I got domestic.

 

What's with the freaggin bickering over in this thread??? I mean common, the guy doesn't like grims, big deal, someone else is gonna buy it in place of this one person, and honestly, if it doesn't sell as well as they thought it would over in japan, I wouldn't be surprised seeing how the dino's weren't all that popular, so his opinion on him really isn't all that unfounded. I myself find grimlock amazing and will be buying him asap, but don't knock the guy for having a freakin opinion of his own.

 

My main display for TFs has become Classics, since the cast is now getting pretty wide and most of them are awesome combo #1, despite needing some tlc and paint touch-ups.  

I'm REALLY hoping that MP Grimlock isn't TOO big to fit in with the Classics. I hated Classics Grimmy, just really didn't seem like a good take on him to me, and way too small. Now I'm using a touched-up Ani Grimlock, which works really well imo.

But if this thing is the same size as, or a bit smaller than MP SS, then I will cry tears of joy, because this thing is 100% spot on cartoon style, with the G1 toy transformation and details. I can see why some would want an update, but man. I've been rewatching the crap out of some g1 eps lately, and this just jumped right off the screen.

 

I'm really looking forward to MP Grimmy!  

 

When is Cyclonus supposed to be released?

 

I'm not digging Grimlock's alternate mode. Even if it IS cartoon accurate, it still looks like a mechanical Barney.

The light colouring on Cyclonus looks pretty bad to me. I prefer the darker colours of the Hasbro version.

 

Really don't understand any of the dislike for MP Grimlock. It's fulfilling its requirements in both format and appearance, and it's got extra twiddly bits for people to fine-tune how they want to present it. But, as Draven said, let the haters hate, and I'll have mine on show on the top shelf of the display case. With red eyes.  

 

Fans ask for A.
TakaraTomy gives fans A.
Fans ask for B.

That's how it works.

 

Give people gold bars. They'll bitch about fingerprints.

I am SO looking forward to MP Grimmy!

 

good gravy, Grimlock is perfect!
