Kid-friendly Grimlock

[kup]

You're right, definitely not Generations Grimlock. It's gotta win the most breakable toy of 2013 award.

A pre-loved G1 Grimlock is your best bet, it's simple and robust. However I would also recommend Classics Grimlock if show accuracy is not absolutely paramount.

Is Generation Grimlock also fragile? I was thinking it was just simplistic but sturdy.

I don't mind the current Generations Voyager Grimlock, it does take a bit of manhandling to get the tail together and organising the legs into place while not difficult can be a bit tricky from a spacial perspective. The light up gimmick is pretty cool for a kid though.

the older classics grimlock is a little complex. The legs on the beast mode are a bit more articulate.

Apart from them I don't have a lot of Grimlock experience. I'm not sure any of them would be particularly easy for a 4 year old to transform. They would both be playable by a 4yo with assistance to get between modes.

'Generations' may be getting mixed up here.. Classics has the head split as feet. The new voyager is a Fall of Cybertron design. And which legs, robot or alt mode?

The Animated version does look big and cool and can be cheap in the OTCA saleyard now. And there are 2 other animated Dinobots for company.

Thanks everyone for the replies.

My original post was referring to the FoC Grimlock.

Sounds like I might go Animated - especially since I can get the other dinobots as well. He won't mind that it's not 100% G1 authentic. He will mind if the transformation isn't simple.

Might trawl through the saleyard :-)

Of course, if anyone wants to offload theirs then feel free to PM ! Haven't spotted anything in the sale yard yet, but it's kinda tricky to search

My daughter's the same age as your son... so for a toy that he could happily transform and play on his own, I'd recommend Animated Activator Class Grimlock.
