    Me, Grimlock — BADASS!

    IMG_20210319_193208.jpg

    Got my Grimlock in the mail today, and he's not too bad.

    Aside from the slightly loose back wings, my copy is exactly the right spot QC-wise where nothing is too loose or too tight. SS 86 Grimlock here is a perfectly good figure that looks quite nice, poses quite well for what it is, and is overall a perfectly solid Leader-class figure.

    The included Wheelie "figure"... it exists, I guess. TBH, I would rather have a sword or some fire blast effect parts been included here with Grimlock instead (And if they really want to make a Wheelie, just make a new Wheelie as a separate Core-class figure in Kingdom)

    I knew these wouldn't fit, but the handle is barely long enough to reach the hands without the sword touching the claws.

    Grimlock (custom chest window, nfs) and the new Volcanicus swords.

    I would prefer if SS86 Grimlock comes with a sword and some fire blast effect parts, but luckily something from my storage bin might prove to be useful...

    IMG_20210320_082650.jpg

    The sword that Grimlock is wielding is a scratch-build Energon Sword built with some parts from a junker ROTF Leader Class OP, and the scratch-built sword does look quite well-sized for Grimlock here (Even if it's still a bit on the short side)

    Still missing the Kingdom Cyclonus.
    I just got the Haslab Unicron, but have no room to put it out yet. :lol 

    This was how it looked before SS86 came out:
