    I hope they made some serious modifications because my MP Grimmy is loose as a goose in alt mode. Any faults will be exaggerated when enlarged.

    Wobble wobble.

    ^My sentiments.

    I don't like the urge to throw out a version I paid $125 for.

    I believe it is.

    If it's cheap I'll get it, but I'm with the other posters who want to see the new mold 3ps first. I already have two MP-8s

    If its cheap enough I would buy one. I have a mp grimmy with his platform boots is fine for me but if he was a bit bigger that would be cool. Too expensive I will skip.

    i wonder if this implies the feet and chest will be plastic instead of diecast.. and if that might cut down on the price. if it looked good and got a positive, unbiased review as far as weighting and all, it could get on the radar. of course it would be competing with Giga, who Ive all but committed to.

    Hope this doesn't detract FT from doing theirs as they said they'd do one if TT or a 3rd party didn't do it first. This is too big to go with FT's. Would probably work with Giga, but I think they plan to go forward with theirs either way.

    I can't help but think there's something off with the Dino head.

    Well those screw holes are on the real figure too, they're just covered by plastic plugs.

    I'd like to see pics next to Scoria, but I'm very interested in this.

    ^ It's going to be way bigger than Scoria. Before FTs dinos I might have been interested in this if the quality was right, but I think at this point I'm ready for something truly new. I'll hold out for FTs Grimmy.

    Ah ok.

    Also dunno why people keep bringing up FT. This isn't in scale with them at all, if you're committed to FT then it goes without saying you're not into this or Gigapower's stuff lol

    It's the snout. Looks like the slope is off. Could just be the angle.

    I'm all for Gigapower and FT Grimlock but they probably wont see the light of day till early 2016, if this comes out by years end, could be a good stand in.
