    I'm liking this Grimlock, but not quite as much as the Hasbro one I currently have. I'll still get him just so I can include him in my Grimmy display.

    Yeah I thought these were all gonna have a metallic paint to them. This figure sucks but it may have looked cool in a metallic silver. Maybe they will repaint it for an exclusive. So glad these don't interset me, it feels good to save $$

    Is it really that bad? I like the g1-ish color scheme. I am not saying i prefer this one or the Hasbro version. Just that both colors suit the mold.

    Haha guys. You *DO* remember that the original North American Grimlock had a metallic paint-job to begin with, right xD?!

    i think his colours are going to look nicer in-hand, the top two photos have a funny hue to them, and hasbro grimlock was a bit dull and grey.

    then again, i don't think this is one of the better repaints by a long shot. cliffjumper and arcee are the only ones i can see myself picking up at this rate, even goldbug/bumblebee has the same two-tone fail as starscream.

    If they'd bothered to make the dark red plastic of his body the same tint as the red paint, and the arms and claws the same yellow, he would look decent. Now it's just a mismatch of colors.

    What the hell? Why didn't they change the faux-gold claws and tail? Why didn't they change the waist to the same red as with the rest of the new paint? I'm really starting to think that Takara wanted to do full repaints on all figures, then ran halfway out of budget and decided to use the 'normal' mold colors...

    I really have to wonder why Takara wentt his way as well. Why not go for showaccurate repaints, what they've always done? Why go for halfassed metallic repaints?

    I will probably pick him up to add to the collection eventually, but this thread got me more interested in that Chinese KO then the Takara one. I'll be trying to add both to my Grimlock Collection.

    ZenZhau always bends my brain with the strange KO they have. and the contrast with the production toys.

    I wonder what that Giant Scale Animated Grimmy is like in scale compared to MP Grimlock ?

    Some, but they could still be better, even if it is only with minor paintapp details.

    So far Prime and Megs are the top contenders right now. This one looks fine, infact I like it, but all the other ones excluding Shockwave are shit.

    I initially liked the yellow on the body, but now I dislike it. I'm sticking with my Hasbro Grimlock.

    Although I am interested to see what Snarl and Swoop look like.

    Whoa, really? That's an interesting little bit of trivia.
