    If anyone's still in doubt about the scale on Black Mamba Grimlock with the Studio Series, and whether to buy him, here is is with Prime.

    Based on scale charts and re-watching the film scenes it needs about 10cm extra in height + increase in mass so approaching Titans Metroplex to be perfectly in scale (studio prime is 16.5cm).

    I think he is as big as realistically can be without causing display shelf space issues. He has a lot of bulk in the shoulders so would have the same challenge to fit on display as per Terminus Giganticus / Gabriel.

    Still a lot closer than SS leader Grimlock is.

    @Fallout still has rubber / flexible parts Inc the rear drape/tail sections and teeth/horns. Also has diecast in various points.

    Sure, pal. Wrong movie, wrong scale, wrong Prime, but... why not? :p 

    why?.jpg

    Honestly, he'd scale better with most AOE/TLK figures if he were just a little taller...

    Thanks. And yeah on movies and whatnot. But I don't care for the AOE or Last Knight Prime so the MPM is the only movie Prime I'll have. ;)

    Yeah, I was checking heights today. I'll still probably wait for the g creation one, otherwise I think the cheaper , smaller one.

    What are the chances that a Voyager-sized KO of Studio Series Deluxe Dropkick will be produced and released?

    The chances are bad. So far the voyagers and leaders have received the KO treatment.

    I'm hoping someone starts picking up on deluxes. WeiJiang did Battle Blade Bumblebee and Dream Factory did the wreckers. There are also some OSKO Dinobots, I believe. But I'd like to see OSKO Stinger and Sideswipe...

    As I noted previously, the head paint application on BMB Studio Grimlock was poor making the features look soft.

    I have spent some time in the studio on the head and it now looks much much better and actually more detailed than the regular studio version.

    Apologies for the poor photos, it doesn't give a very natural reflection of how it looks.

    I'm hoping someone ko and improves the MPM VW Bee. I'm also opting for that new 3rd party MPM scale Bonecrusher.
