Toy Review - Age of Extinction Grimlock (Voyager)

[kurdt_the_goat]

Not intending to take a dig at you Goktimus, but couldn't you have just watched a video review before buying some of these toys and being so disappointed?

I know like some others you have a huge collection and being a longtime fan, would want to pick up some of the latest offerings, period. But since you mention price so often, i would have thought you'd be way more selective!

For me, i'm not phased by higher price toys that i know will be good (pedigree or from watching a review), because i'm happy in the knowledge that the money's better spent than it would be on most of the 'general consumption' toys that end up like this!

I like the design and the direction theyve tried to go with Grimlock, this figure is a decent representation when you compare it with other recent Grimlocks. Take a look at FOC and masterpiece Grim, both of them also have the Legs turn into the arms and tail become the legs and feet as well as having part of the head fold down onto the back. To me this has a surprising amount of elements from other Grimlocks and I welcome it to my dinobot collection.

This is annoying me now, and since I read Ben Yee's review of this toy this morning I can finally respond to it:

THEY'RE NOT ELF SHOES!!!! They are stylised sabotons, a fairly common piece of medieval knights' armour. There were even loosely-applied rules about how long the sabotons could be in Medieval France, based on social class. Of course, they didn't typically point up the way they do here, but that presentation of this particular piece of armour is fairly common in pop culture, and no doubt has been chosen to add to the knight effect for that reason.

So please stop calling them elf shoes. Please. For the children.

I'm tossing up between getting the Voyager OR Leader Grimlock. Need to do more research before I buy.......and maybe watch the movie.

I voted no, and the only reason is cause I went for Leader Grimlock rather that Voyager Grimlock.

Hopefully when I go OS next month, it's been released there and are priced much less than what they are tagged here. We always get overpriced retail anyways. I'll just take my chances on getting this one over there...

You're right, they're not shoes. They're CFM Boots
