Masterpiece MP-08X Grimlock Reissue!

Finally got the new reissue of MP-8X King Grimlock with the Throne accessory. Glad to say Grimlock is awesome, but this separate throne is ABSOLUTE GARBAGE!! If you're thinking of getting it, do NOT get the throne!! Total waste of money!! It was a bit of a bitch to assemble together too!

I notice that this is a pure Hasbro accessory, with no reference to Takara on the box or item. I didnt think Takara would be that stupid to put their name on something this ridiculous.

Will be uploading my full review tonight. I dont have the original MP-8X to do a comparison, but will compare it to my MP-8 Grimlock. Will post here once finished :)

The joints on this guy are pretty damn tight! I still cant get the ankle rocking action to work, and the shoulder joint was tight to rotate.

Looks nice but a bit too pricey for me, on a side note anyone have any idea whats going on with Hasbro MP Grimlock in Toy's R Us retail stores I'd heard they were supposed to arrive in July and I've been calling Aspley every couple of weeks and the staff have no idea whats going on with them. They have MP Prowls but still no Grimlocks what gives?

If anyone is thinking of buying this set, I'll gladly buy the throne accessory for fifty dollars off you. Send me a PM

I haven't gotten mine yet as I'm waiting for other stuff in my POL. Is there anything on the box or in the documentation that indicates if this a Hasbro US release? I'm guessing it's actually a Hasbro US as no Japanese or Hong Kong stores have it.

GGAAAHHH!!!!! After all this time, my new MP-8X King Grimlock has a left elbow assembled in reverse!!!! Hopefully BBTS can send me a replacement!!!

Are you serious!?!? You want that Throne for $50!?!? I'd sell it to you for that if you're serious!! I'd even sell it to you for $40!!! Where do you live?

Dayum. I just started reading the comics and I'm nearly up to the first (proper) appearance of the dinobots. I have a feeling I'll want this guy. The throne, though not accurate, looks really nice.

I just had a look at my first run MP-8 Grimlock. He's just screwed together so unscrew his outer arm and put him back together the right way. I've had to do that on various figures over the years, no pin equals no big deal.

So I've ended up with a spare MP-8X 30th Anniversary edition (2nd Production Run - no throne MISB Collector's Grade). If anyone wants it for $250aud + shipping or collection let me know by the end of the week, or back to the USA he goes.
