Two new upgrade kit prototype pictures have surfaced from 3rd Party group, L.O.D. Workshop via encline’s Facebook page. First up is an upgrade kit for Masterpiece Grimlock called King Kickbutt. The King Kickbutt upgrade kit will include a new head (inspired by Grimlock’s War Within design) and a translucent flame piece that can be attached to the inside of Grimlock’s dino-mode. The kit will be exclusive to site sponsor Bigbadtoystore. The second offering is the 1st upgrade for Revenge of the Fallen/Classics Bruticus called “Brute Defense part 1: Cow Catcher”. Brute Defense will give Bruticus his traditional Generation 1 chest plate. The chest plate can be attached to Onslaught when not in combined mode as a cow catcher.

Thanks for the pics he looks great with jackie present and accounted for
tigerkick i started going back on the last ones and taking a 3/16" drill bit and twisting by hand a couple of turns to deepen the socket a bit and this helps with what i have deemed the bobble doll effect.

Oh, maybe a millimeter inside. Not much.

^^ could you show how large you made the hole to be able to fit the head. I too have the same problem. tried a bit of blu tack but I'm hoping for a firmer connection

Recently got mine, and I have the old Hasbro Grimlock figure. I also had the same, just sitting on top type, happening with the head. I just took my dremel tip and widened the hole. Used some nail polish, and viola!

Damn, ah well, never mind, hopefully i can sculpt one.
jream
answer is right above you about 4 posts! lol
craftsmith
Are these heads still available?

I got mine in and the head "balances" on the ball joint. If I tilt the figure it falls off. Any suggestions for deepening the socket? I pushed pretty hard and it doesn't appear that it'll go any further.
Megatron31
The ball joint socket isn't very deep, so it won't " snap " on like tecroms voyager size head, but should still fit snug

I got mine today (and it's beautiful)!
I have a question, though. The head seems to sit on the ball joint rather than snap in. Is this right or does it snap in? I'm afraid to apply to much pressure.
It actually sits okay without snapping on.
