I just received mine....he is incredible. Has a lot weight. And tell Ben that his eyes has LEDs too. You lift his top jaw up, and you'll find a white switch that turns on his Dino-Eyes
I love your reviews, but your voice makes me so damned relaxed that whenever I watch your reviews at night I end up falling asleep. I mean that in the most appreciative way because your voice is just that relaxing and pleasant. (I end up going back and watching the video again to completion :-) )
I love what BMB done to him. I really want him, but I have the hasbro with upgrades, so I'm good for now. Gonna wait and see what Weijiang come up with.
If and when Hasbro releases a Studio Series Knight Optimus Prime Black Mamba is probably going to release a larger figure, but they should either or release a smaller version to scale with this figure, probably a third of the size of the Optimus figure.
Browse youtube looking ideas for my kids birthday presents, ended up brought for myself. Kiddos optimus and bee, daddy grimlock, hide shadow, and megatron.
Grimlock should be about 3x the size of Prime, so he is a bit too small. There is a 50cm tall oversized voyager Grimlock, which is almost spot on heightwise for studio series
Heya Ben, Wei Jiangs' version comes with an upscaled version of the DNA design upgrade kit so makes it the best version between the two aesthetically but it is a bit smaller. Just my opinion as this BMB would seem pretty basic next to it however larger it is :D
BEN, and others, on a limited budget, what would you say is a nice collection of (I hate the term) "Knock Off" Transformers to get to build up my new collection? I have the WeiJiang SS05 Optimus, who is amazing. Also ordered The new oversized Blackout and Brawl for Christmas, as well as the Evasion mode Optimus and the large Knock off Starscream. What else is a "must have"? I can't find (because they likely don't exist) nice oversized Bayverse Ratchet or Ironhide. Anything else on a limited budget? Is the Challenger Optimus worth it?
Its a gorgeous figure, just still not big enough. I have the 50cm oversize of the original mold, with a repaint it doesn’t look too bad next to my human alliance scale figures. I’d love to have this figure that big.
Jeremy Nordstrom where did you get the 50cm oversize of the original one ive wanted it for a long time but i dont know where to find him the only place i can find him is sirtoys but hes not there either
Lyle's Sports Channel, I got lucky a couple of years ago and found it in stock with SirToys. I also picked up the 50cm DOTM Megatron at the same time, which when posed correctly is perfectly in scale with M01 Commander or the new BMB LS03 Commander. I just recently got the oversize Strafe which fits right in with the 50cm Grimlock. I know they’re tough to track down, but I definitely think they’re worth the effort. I’ve been trying to get the 50cm Starscream for years so I understand your frustration.
i have m01 commander and i so want to get the ls 03 he's awesome also its good that hte 50 cm megatron is still in stock so i want to get him. also can you show me what oversize strafe? that sounds really cool i think i want one
Not exactly a subtle figure... My wife hates your channel by the way. I wake up in the morning, blissfully unaware. Then I watch a review of yours and BOOM, I *need*a new Transformer!
Damn it! Just added the accessory kit to the SS version and did a complete repaint including all the detail on the gears, pipes etc.. in bronze, copper brass and silvers with smokey washes, then I see this! LOL.
BmB Grimlock comes with opTimus prime rider and is transformable. you need to make a review again because Wei Jiang already realeased their grimlock that is complete package..
Wei Jiang keeps shouting on Hasbro to lower the price of the small plastic crap they sell except the newly released siege line which is awesome in small scale
with a release of this figure its safe to say that this is the list of best grimlock toys: -Black Mamba KO Oversized Grimlock. -Planet X Vulcun. -Power of the Prime Grimlock.
Which one should I go with in terms of build quality and paint? This guy or WJ Legendary Warrior? (dont really care about the height difference since both of them are big enough for me).
he LS05 lights up the lights in dinosaur mode too: there's a button below the roof of the mouth. I have not located where the battery is, because it is not the same as the head of the theft. Has anyone located this battery that allows you to light your eyes?
I love that we are getting larger versions of these figures.....but.....at the same time i am very torn to the ethics of these releases. I think we all know that these molds are stolen from hasbro at 50% extra the cost of the official versions...and if they are masterpieces, a 1/3 of the price less than takara/hasbro releases...don't get me wrong I much prefer these, but these bootleg releases contribute to hasbro's continued drop in profits where they are now laying off employees. Most of us see a hasbro figure come out and pretty much wait until one of these 3rd companies ( if not all of them) come out with a larger version of basically the same figure that hasbro developers put the effort to engineer. I guess the proper way to go about it would be to buy hasbro's versions as well as these....just an observation.
So far I only plan to buy SS Grimlock over this, because still both oversized Grimlocks would fit as much as as this Grimlock fits into the SS scale. Another complain I have is that BMB and Wei Jiang love to oversize their figures as much as posible to the point that they no longer fit into the old leader class scale, just look at BMB Brawl, he would be as tall as MPM Optimus, when he should've been as tall as the first leader class one. Can't wait for everyone to complain about Wei Jiang's Blackout not fitting in their oversize scale
Damn you Ben! I wasn't going to buy this but now I'm gonna have too! It looks awesome, I hope they also do a G1 deco one. Such a shame to leave that mold in such a bland, boring deco.
Finally got my SS OS Grimlock Black Mamba in hand, and gotta say, they really CUT CORNERS and cheaped out on the paint. I have him next to my official SS Grimlock, and unlike the sample in this video, the BMB OS Grimlock is almost unpainted and just plain plastic. None of the details stick it and it looks rather shit to be honest. Big disappointment after pre-ordering back in December 2018 and no sign of any of the "extras" they promised for early orders either.
Wei Jiang is smaller but more well done. This one looks like a toy...the WJ looks like a work of art and the coloring is better. We can debate scale till the cows come home but I frankly I always felt the Dinos in the movies were too big. I've seen pics of Ultimate Toys AOE Prime with the WJ and it works well. Now paired with WJ Evasion (probably THE definitive movie Prime at this point) not so much and they're essentially the same size but I don't know...MP scale has MP-08 and MP-10 as the same size so obviously scaling a Dino with a bot continues to be an issue.
Interesting. Oversized Grimmy with normal SS05 Optimus. Grimmy makes that turd actually look pretty cool. (#SorryNotSorry #HftDBattleBladeOrAoEEvasionMode4eva) The tongue, though? Even with DNA's kit for the regular SS07 Grimlock, I prefer something cooler in there. Examples: Animated Grimlock's mount point for his sword/flame breath, AoE Construct-Bots Dinofire Grimlock's light & "concealed" revolver style missile launcher, etc. Question: the eyes in robot mode, is that paint or actual lighting up?
The only problem I have with this removed review is that you called it a KNOCK OFF it's not a KNOCK OFF it's a replica that's certified and approved 2 copy a Hasbro figure WEIJEHNG & Black Momba does high quality knock-off are very low quality
I just received mine....he is incredible. Has a lot weight. And tell Ben that his eyes has LEDs too. You lift his top jaw up, and you'll find a white switch that turns on his Dino-Eyes
The studio series version was good. This is even better. I’ll probably prefer this one over the weijiang one
thestarscreamER1 why? What’s better?
Can you send a link to the Weijang Version?
I have both. I keep the weijiang in dino mode with optimus riding it. And this one in robot mode. Both are lovely!
Why? Please tell us?
I love your reviews, but your voice makes me so damned relaxed that whenever I watch your reviews at night I end up falling asleep. I mean that in the most appreciative way because your voice is just that relaxing and pleasant.

In the video of the WeiJiang one please do a complete comparaison between this, the WJ and the original
It's 4 inches small my friend.
@@charliechimichangazz8394 It's not what I ask
charlie chimichangazz he is asking for comparison of the three versions..
the studio series, BmB and WJ
Nomadx83 hig
Just when you thought the Studio Series Grimlock was big enough.
Onde eu compro essas placas que foram usadas ao fundo?
Where do i buy these plates used in the background?
If and when Hasbro releases a Studio Series Knight Optimus Prime Black Mamba is probably going to release a larger figure, but they should either or release a smaller version to scale with this figure, probably a third of the size of the Optimus figure.
Nah BMB wouldn't do this. They already made a mini Optimus Prime which is pretty bad
4:45 Not dragonstorm. Steelbane
I make that mistake every now and then too
Holy hell o_o the pictures for the Nitro repaint looked good but on camera it looks amazing
I wish the studios series made Grimlock’s transformation more screen accurate
ita kinda hard i think because his hands become his legs and his leg become the head
Where do you buy the display wall ?
Clicked so fast video was still private
I'm waiting for this one and I'm so excited!
Browse youtube looking ideas for my kids birthday presents, ended up brought for myself.
Kiddos optimus and bee, daddy grimlock, hide shadow, and megatron.
I chose the design accuracy over the whole size logic . So it's studio series with the upgrade kit tail , mace neck and morning star .
Grimlock should be about 3x the size of Prime, so he is a bit too small. There is a 50cm tall oversized voyager Grimlock, which is almost spot on heightwise for studio series
Are you talking about the stomp and chomp grimlock? That can change in one step?
So where can we look at black mamba stuff i havent been able to find a website
fiddling with my bigass grimlock... the thumbs are kinda in the way right?
Heya Ben, Wei Jiangs' version comes with an upscaled version of the DNA design upgrade kit so makes it the best version between the two aesthetically but it is a bit smaller.
Just my opinion as this BMB would seem pretty basic next to it however larger it is :D
The mace head is meant to point down isn't it?

I have the WeiJiang SS05 Optimus, who is amazing. Also ordered The new oversized Blackout and Brawl for Christmas, as well as the Evasion mode Optimus and the large Knock off Starscream.

Strange that when they oversized the DOTM Megs they kept the weird sticky out window.
This figure is just compensation
Since the eyes can lit. I assume it uses some battery, doesn't it?
Not exactly a subtle figure...
My wife hates your channel by the way.
I wake up in the morning, blissfully unaware. Then I watch a review of yours and BOOM, I *need*a new Transformer!
ElenarMT 🎯🎯🎯🎯🤓
Sweeeeeet that looks so great
Does anyone know if this version or the LS05s are more movie accurate
How are the joints holding up while it stands up?
Do they get weak overtime due to weight?
What mode do you display it or recommend?
How much and maybe its looks great want one soon tell them to send it out fast nice eye light.
Damn it! Just added the accessory kit to the SS version and did a complete repaint including all the detail on the gears, pipes etc.. in bronze, copper brass and silvers with smokey washes, then I see this! LOL.
I need this beauty! This was awesome! Now I really must buy it 👍
BmB Grimlock comes with opTimus prime rider and is transformable. you need to make a review again because Wei Jiang already realeased their grimlock that is complete package..
Como le hizo para conseguir los ojos led en modo tiranosaurio 🦖
What version of Hound is that in the size comparison?
How tall is he in robot mode?
It's HUGE!
Cool preview I just hope the procedure make others dinobots like swoop and slug.
You didn't tell us any of the answers to the questions you had. Why not add them in as text after editing your video?
Wei Jiang keeps shouting on Hasbro to lower the price of the small plastic crap they sell except the newly released siege line which is awesome in small scale
Except for the fact that this costs twice as much as the SS one
May I know its weight? 2kg?
what is bigger ls-05 or ls-05s?
weijiang also make a similar model (based on studio series design) , which one is bigger and which one is better ?
Bmb
The dry brushing is wayyyy better on the original lol
Can I ask what version of Hound you displayed at 5:15? he's a perfect size for my collection and I can't seem to find a good one.
Yep it’s this one :) ua-cam.com/video/L-xp6td32V4/v-deo.htmlsi=MeqfDove3akmcXBG
Thank you sir! wei Jiang.....gonna be a tough one to find I think 😢
just found him! Thanks Ben!!!😊
The weapon goes on his back with the other end up it might be designed to ply fit on him that way
with a release of this figure its safe to say that this is the list of best grimlock toys:
-Black Mamba KO Oversized Grimlock.
-Planet X Vulcun.
-Power of the Prime Grimlock.
i think weijiang's grimlock is better
@@hendraun Nah it was shit. Only thing better was that it was included with an Optimus Prime and a fire breath part for Grimlock. Nothinf else.
When is the WeiJiang version coming out so we can see a comparison? Im going to buy 2 of these, one to sit prime on top and one to have in robot mode.
Is this metal ,plastic,,???
I wonder if we will get the rest of the Dino bots;also,quintessas demons or her protectors?
Does anyone know if the black mamba will do the other Dinobots Strafe, Slash, and Slug?
Either grimlock or blackout better ?
Is he about TR Trypticon’s size?
Black mambahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! Heh. Nice oversized grimy. Black mamba keeps making nice KOs.
The shitty thing is Wei jiang gave me very little details about their version of grimlock.
Where did you bye it?
Have you guys seen GCreation's Grimlock ?
Which one should I go with in terms of build quality and paint? This guy or WJ Legendary Warrior? (dont really care about the height difference since both of them are big enough for me).
Wich prime do you used to ride him? I just ordered mine and I want the a prime with correct scale to ride him,thanks
he LS05 lights up the lights in dinosaur mode too: there's a button below the roof of the mouth. I have not located where the battery is, because it is not the same as the head of the theft. Has anyone located this battery that allows you to light your eyes?
Definitely getting this one
I have the Studio Series and the upgrade kit coming, but this looks quite good.
Please do a review of the Black Mamba Oversize 13" Megatron when it's released! (is it already released)?
Maybe i'll buy him but he is still small
¿cuanto mide esta figura?
How is the quality in comparison with Hasbro SS?
I want to know too
It may not scale perfectly with ss prime, but it's close enough for me, might pick this up
Will he have a little prime
Wath price?
Pliss review weijiang legendary warrior ko os ss grimlock
How much?
Your outro theme was made in garageband i suppose?

I’d love to see this toy in G1 colours. Just curious...
I might get this guy.
Can MPM-04 ride him?
Probably, but will look ridiculous.
Huge BOI!
LOVE IT!
Hey Ben could you do a review on the other Nitro Zeus.
What a monster.
Damn you Ben! I wasn't going to buy this but now I'm gonna have too! It looks awesome, I hope they also do a G1 deco one. Such a shame to leave that mold in such a bland, boring deco.
He even comes with his mace YES!
Lyle's Sports Channel wei jiang version comes with spear and spiked ball chain.
@@daedlocke and that's even better :D thanks
Are you going to review Dream factory's bonecrusher? cause that's an AMAZING figure right there
The legs in this is really stiff, couldn’t push them back together when transforming back into bot mode
damn it. just ordered ss grimlock... wish I saw this
Gonna get this one
pls one
Now we wait 4 scorn bmb
WoW i must buy him
The head kinda reminds me of guyver with the horn
13:00 You assemble the tail in the wrong way.
Just ordered mine.. quite expensive.. $40.. but so worth it!

Perhaps I didn’t pay close enough attention during the movie. Did he seriously have three Dino heads in robot mode? That’s a little silly.
Maybe he needs to be oversized a lot more like 2x his current height :D

It's a copy of an official product never approved by Hasbro. Knock off :)
You guys, it's obviously not getting any bigger than this lol
No leds in modo dinosaurio
Ehh, he's too small ;_;
LOL
wtf
if he was as big as the films he would be the size of your average human being
or at least the size of a baby
