    I like the overall colours of the first, but I like the golder chrome and sword of the new one. I think I may just get the first one or wait for Hasbro's.

    I love the gold and accessories enough to put up with the blue.

    totally agree. definitely getting the original mp-8 now that i've seen that hideous blue. pretty ridiculous that u could probably buy the original and the soon to be released hasbro version combined for less than this one assuming that the hasbro one will be around $60 like skywarp was.

    No comparisons in dino mode? Looks like the new one is silver instead of gray.

    Hasbro will probably release a version of Grimlock that is a crossover of both Takara's versions and more closer to the G1 Cartoon sans crown. King Grimlock really stands out, for better or for worse. At least with the gold chrome it actually looks like it is worth more.

    An interesting novelty, but far prefer the standard version, i'll stick with that.

    Definitely a nice piece for collectors tho, with the addition of the comic-style box art; perhaps this is something we'll see more of with future MP repaints.

    Weird how the whole thing just looks 'too bright' to me. I like the standard version much more.

    The blue is the worst offender, but then I've always disliked when a toy tries to emulate the inadequacy of some comics (or animation, in some cases) for depicting a black object with form and detail.

    Hoping for a good mix of colors and accessories whenever Hasbro puts out MP Grimmy in the states.

    I think I like it slightly better than the regular one, actually.

    The blue looks terrible. Would have been nice for the regular release to have silver paint though.

    Get the one that's available or cheaper... if they're bot there and the same price, get your favorite color scheme, or flip a coin.

    I prefer the original release but that comic box is aces. I'm tempted to buy another one just for that box.

    Woo, should be arriving at my door very soon.

    I like the toy colors, but am very disappointed with the box; the MP boxes look so high-end and collector-oriented... why make it look like any old retail Transformer with a silly box?

    EDIT: lol, sorry GreenScream :lol

    I'm really liking the deeper gold chrome and the extra painted silver, but that blue plastic is horrible looking.
