FOC Grimlock and Blaster images (out next week)

[SuspectimusPrime]

Some in-hand images of the pair can be seen here.

Really do like that scale. I'm guessing he's about the same size as Classics Voyager OP, and a little bit shorter than Classics Voyager Jetfire?

I NEED THAT GRIMLOCK. It's also quite unusual to find electronics on a voyager.

Mine was posted yesterday. Come on Post you can do it! sure he will arrive next in the next 5 days

[Ultra Mackness]

Got my item posted email for Grimlock from RK today much prefer this version to the classics version - hope it arrives sooner rather than later!

[Quickstrike]

I definitely want Grimlock and Blaster. For sure.

I'm going to have to get two of those Grimlocks! Have to have robot and dino mode on the shelves

I'll go against the flow here, The robot mode looks fine but the Dino mode is horrible. It has a hollow stomach with a Ghetto booty tail, Not impressed.

BWAAAAH! Its got a huge damn gap in his belly. Noooooo! i was rather looking forward to this, not so much anymore though.... Aaaw, I was rather hoping animated grombo would be the last with a big gap in the tummy. Now it appears to be the norm... the electronics look OK.

Come on Hasbro, you can do better than this.

geez RK, get a better camera damn it, those are some of the grainiest photos I've seen since I took a picture of some bread.

I'll wait until I find these babies locally - too busy saving up for Encore Fort Max to worry about importing them.

While unusual it's not unheard of to find electronic gimmicks in toys below Leader Class - but they're usually LED gimmicks (which is what this appears to be). Toys of Leader Class and above tend to have stupid sound gimmicks. LED gimmicks are relatively simple as they take up less space as sound gimmicks, since you don't need to have the actual speaker in the toy. But this is a good thing IMO -- because sound gimmicks require a "block", it hampers the design/engineering of the toy since that block cannot be separated. They essentially end up designing a toy around the gimmick (moreso than designing the gimmick into the toy). LED gimmicks are far less intrusive and don't lend themselves to compromising toy designs like sound gimmicks do.

Small toys like the carded G2 Laser Rods and Micron Legend Hot Rod (JP version of Armada Hot Shot) all had LED gimmicks. Yeah alright, Hot Shot's not a well engineered toy, but that's because his design's hampered by his Mini-Con gimmick, not the electronic LED (which the Hasbro version doesn't even have )

Bought if I seen them locally. While I really want them, too much I have on order from BBTS to order more stuff. Need money to be able to buy things lol.
