I think the worst part is that now all MP figures will be around MP starscream's height. If they do make an MP Soundwave, its gonna look ridiculous if its taller than MP Starsceam and MP Grimlock.

 

I can't see myself collecting these things. Pass.

 

you missed the point, I only brought it up b/c there's already XXX amount of threads about MP Grimlock and it's the same thing over & over again. This is pretty much accepted in the movie boards, but there's no need to clutter the news and rumors board with the same repetitive threads. Some people actually like to read every post just in case someone has new info

 

Ah well, Size doesn't matter in my case, its Grimlock, Its MASTERPIECE, ITS MINEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!  

MUHAHAHAHA, Ahem. ~!*

Also, pretty sweet overall... though on the pricey side, hey if i can
Spend US$ 155 on a soul of Chogokin, i can sure as hell spend TWICE the amount for TWO MP Grmilocks!  

 

As i've rambled before, i'm more put out by the pointless gimmick that means he has a non-articulated hand... but he's still preordered. With a bit of work, that duff hand can be replaced, at least.

It'd be great if he was about 20" tall. But he isn't. When all's said, I'd rather have a 9 or 10 inch tall, articulated, well-detailed, new character MP TF than yet another repaint, or no MPs at all.

Tbh, i don't think any of the MPs so far really belong together anyway - the Seekers look way more streamlined and "modern" than Prime, Megs looked completely stylistically different again (and personally I thought he had some pretty rotten aspects, in all honesty)... so a shorter-than-Prime-but-more-cartoony-than-Seekers Grimlock? Just another oddball in the line of well-engineered, well-articulated cool-as-fuck oversized oddballness that is the Masterpiece line! They're still the only ones i'm continuing to shell out for  

 

Awesome Masterpiece. I wonder wat form people  will keep him in for displays..... 

 

you can't go wrong with either one, but I'll be keeping him in dino mode. or maybe just get a second one and have both modes displayed 

 

Oooh, i like your thinking... 2 is always better than one  
Plus, its Grimlock, for fucks sake!!  

 

THIS MUST BE MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GAHHHH! Ive heard that his eyes can switch from Red/ or Blue in both modes, im glad! I prefer Grimlock with red eyes. Finally a Masterpiece of my all time favorite Transformers Character!

 

Really? Where did you hear that? It would be cool if true  

 

Its in the description on BBS, preorders.

 

Yeah I can't believe some these people are just bitching about the size! What about all the details!? Be thankful that they made it G1 accurate and even put in changing colors in the eyes!!!!!!!!!

 

It's a pity that Grimlock is not as tall as MP Prime. But it's not putting me off to buy one. There is still plenty of detail and if you don't pose him next to Prime I think you don't even think of it even more as it really is bad ass Grimlock.  

 

I don't understand why people would pay the higher price if he were bigger. If it's the same figure with the same level of detail why does it matter if it's bigger? Because you get more mass? Does that make the figure any cooler?

At the same time i don't understand the mentality of people who say we should be "thankful" it's being made. No, I shouldn't be thankful. We're consumers. We pay for this stuff. They should be thankful we choose to spend our money on things like this.

Bottom line is, value is subjective.
