    Default New Pics of Hasbro's MP Grimlock

    http://www.seibertron.com/transforme...rimlock/18599/

    Not bad - It looks comparable to the first Japanese release but includes the crown which to me actually makes it better.

    Also note that the sharp claws and teeth haven't been rounded down for safety.

    Let's hope the local price tag (if released here) is worth it.

    He really does look awesome and the word of a Hasbro release is the only reason I've not bought the Takara one as of yet.

    I hope this guy is under Target's MP-04 price-tag of $200.00, but Toys 'R' Us will probably attempt something similar as unjustifiable as it may be.

    I hope it is around/under $100 like the MP Seekers have been in Australia

    One can only hope, but I wouldn't count on it. Magnus was around $130 I think, so we may be in luck. Though I already own the TakTom version, I doubt I will buy this one. Looks nice though.

    Think I'm gona avoid retail stores once this hits local shelves. I'd be so tempted to buy it......

    On a similar note, I've noticed the taktom MP Grim has pretty much halved in price on ebay these past few months. This will prob drop even more once the hasbro grimmy is released.

    This looks awesome. I've been saving for him since I heard earlier this year we will see a local release.

    Hope it stays that way. This is more of a 'collectors' piece than something you would give your child to play with.

    Hmmm, He looks good , hope they sell em here in retail. I didnt buy it coz I didnt like his scale with the other MPs but if he's cheap then I might consider but ill lump him in the Classics/Universe shelf instead where his size fits just right. They really should issue out MP dinobots hehehecomplete the set why dontcha...

    I think he is pretty gigantic next to Classics. The problem is that his scale is either too big or too small.

    Masterpiece Grimlock is perfect. If there's any problem with scale, it's that all other toys are the wrong size.

    He's just right size wise to Classic IMO. Ive been reading Grimlock13's photocomics at TFW2005 and thats where Ive seen that his size fits correctly with the Classics line. He's supposedly taller than Prime if you base it from his appearances in the toons too. Prime measures up to just his shoulder, but it could be more. Prolly only up til armpits
