Toy Review - Generations FOC Grimlock

[GoktimusPrime]

I'm a little underwhelmed with this version of Grimlock. Why can we not get a good modern remake of this character? Classics? ...good alt, poor robot. Animated? ...not bad, but missing a dinosaur chest. FOC? ...good robot, but missing half the T-Rex.

Masterpiece Grimlock is pretty decent, although with an overpriced RRP IMHO ($150 was a bit rich I thought...) But yeah, I'm not impressed by the photos of this Grimlock, coupled with what I'm hearing here I'll wait for a local release... hopefully if I can find it on sale.

Indeed, MP Grimlock is one of my grails. That is a good classics. This is more of a representation that you can relate to the game and put it with others (and play with, of course), rather than a classics sort of figure. Still good in my eyes, as I LOVE Grimlock.
I might wait for a local release like you Gok, but my lust for Grimlock says different.

Might skip it entirely from the impression I'm getting. Shame as I was looking forward to this.

Judging by pics, it seems like another case of lazy design/Cost cutting.

I don't see why they couldn't have added some 'door' panels not unlike the G1/Classics toy to over that gap since the whole assembly just hangs from his back in robot mode.

Another 'Close but no cigar' figure. Too bad as it had a lot of potential.

I still like Grimlock as a character so I will wait to see what Tomy does and then judge the better version to get.

I just had to do it to him. FOC Grimlock meet gold paint.


And this is the before pic


Think that makes him look alot better.

[Bidoofdude]

That gold makes him look really good, VERT. Nice job. Are you going to do the crotch in metallic red, too? That's really good stuff mate.

[VERT]

Thanks. Not sure about the red. Is his crotch red in the game? Can't remember and its the game colors that are the boss with this. :-)

[Bidoofdude]

Yes, the crotch is quite a bright red. I didn't notice until I really looked.

[VERT]

Looks like I need to get some red paint

[Bidoofdude]

I'd say something metallic like the red on takara FOC Optimus. Suits him well. I honestly think you could sell some like that.
