Very fortunate to own this version. He is absolutely fantastic. I paid $400 flat with shipping on eBay as a Christmas gift to myself. I currently have MP 01B, MP 03, MP 05, MP 08X and MP 13 (first run). My teen has the TRU release of MP Hot Rod and MP Thundercracker. I bought my 9 yrld his very first MP for his bday, Acid Storm. My wife and kids all can appreciate the quality and charm of MP 08X's box art and color enhancement. Great figure!
The claws can be folded down, but the joints are very stiff and then he cannot hold his accessories. I used to fold in the bottom single toe under the bottom of the fist, but for this figure I chose to leave them both extended. The option is available though.
I think alot of you are forgetting about the packaging. Its why I bought the figure. The box blows away any mp box ever created. It looks awsome beside my sdcc transformer/gi joe comic style boxes. The chrome paint is brilliant as well. yes I paid ALOT more for it BUT it will hold its value and I love it.
One of my top 3 favorite Masterpiece figures. MP 08x, MP 10 and MP 13. I only wish he were larger to actually scale better. I'm definitely buying Reximus for this very reason.
Holy cow, please check out the CLOSED CAPTIONS available on this video! Check out the bottom right button of the player. This is a seriously awesome new beta feature of UA-cam!
I like how you speak clearly as you can see when you turn on the transcribe audio. p.s masterpiece Grimlock is Masterpiece Grandma in the transcribe audio.
So the trivial accessories (bowtie, drinks, etc) were stripped from the King and Hasbro versions? If that's so, then I'll just pick up the regular MP Grimlock.
Wow, amazing video review guys, you really pointed out all the great highlights of this new release and definitely got my attention. I hope you guys will have more sweet stop motion animated video reviews like this in store for us fans. Keep up the good work and know that I will definitely be doing business with you guys as soon as I have the cash.
Bought two of these from toysrus couple days ago. Was one more left but box was in alittle bad shape. I'm not opening one of mine but thinking of opening the other.
@goog96 interestng... but i thought the mp08 masterpiece from takara comes with everything except the crown... and the mp08X comes with the grown excluding a few things such as the apron and the head gadget...or am i comparing the wrong ones (hasbro vs takara)???? Did you try sticking them in together?
I agree that the first release is more accurate to the original styling. However, this bling'd out version is the one for me.... I so want this figure!
@goog96 Really?! ouu... i'm goin to get one of these. Its too bad Prime couldnt' stuff away his weapon. Can you tell me how you put his weapons in? Is it just his sword and rifle? or the crown and apron and head gadget as well?
I've seen both versions in person (I own the former), and was relieved that the original release does indeed look better and, frankly, more expensive. The fact that TRU Grimlock is an almost complete re-creation of the MP-08 release (as opposed to extensive redecos like MP-01, MP-03, and MP-06 received) means that even moderate completists can probably just pick their favorite and feel sure they're getting all there is to see with the mold. :-)
i gt grimlock thru the post the other day but it was takara mp-08 but had the grimlock crown from mp-08x, nd it cost me 50 quid, well it was without box i guess lol the figure itself isnt hasbro either
Have a toys r us one. guy didn't have the box, but only paid 170. It's kinda turned into more of a desk buddy than a real figure behind glass. I know I love the normal one, so i hope the 406 was worth it for this complete with box!!!!!!!!! :D :D see the rest floating around 500.
ok honestly i looooooove the silver where grimlocks gray was but the blue instead of black that takes it away from the grimmy i know and love i also prefer the silver chrome not with a blue tint
I want to see more MP figures in the scale of grimlock like PPO1 faith leader a.ka mini masterpiece optimus prime we already have the seekers o hpe to see Megatron The other dinobots jazz Ironhide ratchet the constructicons
Why not just buy the crown from iGear for 15 bucks instead of spending $230.00 on essentially the same figure with prissy colors? Not only do you get the crown, but you get a Maccadam's Old Oil House mug and a miniature version of Thrust so you can reenact the opening credits from season 2!
I have the original mp grimlock, he's the ultimate grimlock. seeing as how king grimlock is so expensive, it's not worth a chromed out paint scheme and a crown to me. they should just released the crown as a separate accessory
@goog96 cools! I thought it would be nice to have but i don't think i'll like em either haha LOL... I'll let you know when i get one and how i make out stuffing his weapons in...might need ur help haha LOL...."me smarter than grimlock yes!!!!" LOL
I like this figure, but I wouldn't buy it. The shoulder articulation isn't as good as Masterpiece Prime's - his arms cannot be moved out fully to the sides so a lot of poses that the other MP figures can achieve are impossible. Also, are his gold T-rex claws able to be folded back along his arms as on the original G1 toy? I don't like the way they stick out from his forearms.
No offense to Peaugh (your official reviewer), but I wanna see you guys continue this kind of review. Best style of review in my opinion.

5:23 looks like Grimlock is taking a hit from a Grimlock bong. I'm not the only one that thought that...you know who you are...
6:24 ohh yeah i was at toys r us the other day and i found grimlock the oregenl mp with the king grem lock crown
Awesome Review! I like the paint job but I'll stick to MP-08
"Me, Grimlock not bozo, me king!"
i really like watching tfsource reviews, they're really relaxing

I am blown away by the production value of this video.

Those have been around for a while, IIRC. They're just an extra bunch of work to set up.

Was that a tiny black and gold Grimlock towards the end of the vid transformable? Where can I get it!?

toys r us warrington uk had loads of these this weekend for 59.99 i picked one up very happy, was the dark grey version with the crown in clear box
I rather like your reviewing style, it's refreshing, nice job. :)
@goog96
Really?! ouu... i'm goin to get one of these. Its too bad Prime couldnt' stuff away his weapon. Can you tell me how you put his weapons in? Is it just his sword and rifle? or the crown and apron and head gadget as well?
@goog96
really? I read somewhere else it cnanot... i haven't made the time to get one yet... but the accessories do fit?
that has got to be the best review ive seen! original! that grimlock is expensive but damn its cool! great job on the review!
When are you guys going to do a review over the new g2 mp 12 sideswipe or lambor
I wanna see a Cliffjumper MP

Someone do know how many pieces are produced in this Limited Edition\Version of This King Grimlock the Sleep Convoy and Ghost Starscream??
Another good review. I like both MP-08's. Hard to chose one over the other.
i gt grimlock thru the post the other day but it was takara mp-08 but had the grimlock crown from mp-08x, nd it cost me 50 quid, well it was without box i guess lol the figure itself isnt hasbro either
@JonesSpirius I think the colors are incredible
@goog96
really? now i gotta see rodimus!!! which Grimlock do u have?
Have a toys r us one. guy didn't have the box, but only paid 170. It's kinda turned into more of a desk buddy than a real figure behind glass. I know I love the normal one, so i hope the 406 was worth it for this complete with box!!!!!!!!! :D :D see the rest floating around 500.
@TheNotru Link to a review?
I hope this means that a G2 masterpiece grimlock is not far away that’s the one I had as a kid not the G1 version.
will they make a rodimus prime ?
great great figure. love the colors and crown too.
Still holding out for a re-release of this deco.
BBTS has a re release on preorder
Даниел Прентов Thanks for mentioning it... the pre-order went up within 24hrs of my comment, it blew my mind!
ok honestly i looooooove the silver where grimlocks gray was but the blue instead of black that takes it away from the grimmy i know and love i also prefer the silver chrome not with a blue tint
is there a theory of a masterpiece galvitron
i saw a human in the grimlock collection shot
ive seen this at my local toys r us in NY in different, clear, packaging for $70
@SEANxLONG Thanks Sean. It's definitely a figure for those that missed out on the first run of MP-08
I want to see more MP figures in the scale of grimlock like PPO1 faith leader a.ka mini masterpiece optimus prime we already have the seekers o hpe to see
Megatron
The other dinobots
jazz
Ironhide
ratchet
the constructicons
Great review.
MP-08X looks very nice but certainly not $100 nicer than MP-08 I don't care how blinged out he is.
Thanks a lot, this was a fun one. Who doesn't like dinosaurs??
Why not just buy the crown from iGear for 15 bucks instead of spending $230.00 on essentially the same figure with prissy colors? Not only do you get the crown, but you get a Maccadam's Old Oil House mug and a miniature version of Thrust so you can reenact the opening credits from season 2!
you can leave the crown on when transforming
I believe it's the original Gundam's head that's based off a samurai mask, actually...
wow, im getting this one in stead of the 'normal' one
@Halostar22 king grimlock is out but its not this. its the frist paint job with a crown
can somone please tell me the difference between mp3 grimlock and mp8?
I have the original mp grimlock, he's the ultimate grimlock. seeing as how king grimlock is so expensive, it's not worth a chromed out paint scheme and a crown to me. they should just released the crown as a separate accessory
I wish I could find a grimlock
that would be EPIC
@goog96
cools! I thought it would be nice to have but i don't think i'll like em either haha LOL... I'll let you know when i get one and how i make out stuffing his weapons in...might need ur help haha LOL...."me smarter than grimlock yes!!!!" LOL
@OmegaDragon588 they should make all G1 Transformers MP's
i need to get this
@OmegaDragon588 Grimlock does need servants to boss around.....
my normal masterpice grimlock came with a crown blaster and soward
AWESOME!
Just great!
looks cool
@OmegaDallen They already made one.
I hope the next masterpiece will be galvatron
Egad, I think I had the original one when I was little.
So this is the re-pack of the 2009 Hasbro release? Well played Has/Tak. Don't think I like the blue plastic either...
Meanwhile in the present time
Mp44 is $400
"Fuck up" in what sense? this toy is everything Grimlock should be!
They need to mastepiece all of the Dinobots
I need this
That remind me of me grimlock & grimlock
get the hasbro vertion then custom paint it to king grimlock
They should ... but they should have been bigger than Megatron and Prime Masterpiece
I like this figure, but I wouldn't buy it. The shoulder articulation isn't as good as Masterpiece Prime's - his arms cannot be moved out fully to the sides so a lot of poses that the other MP figures can achieve are impossible. Also, are his gold T-rex claws able to be folded back along his arms as on the original G1 toy? I don't like the way they stick out from his forearms.
@OmegaDallen Just search up Masterpiece Rodimus Prime Review
Worth a million on amazon
the grimlock upgrade kit kind of makes this useless
Or A Masterpiece Galvatron!
AHaha you customized an MP Grimlock!?!
I would gladly pay $200 for that.......even more!
@YuGiOhPlanet thats the hasbro masterpiece grimlock
lol from waitress to king
i have the mp-o8
Nice. :D
Its a nice repaint but 200 BUCKS and comes with less accessories than the first release!?
I pass it.
lol just buy the toys r us exclusive it comes with a GOLD crown and looks legit
That was you lol
It´s a very nice repaint yet WAY TOO OVERPRICED!
me gusta mas la vercion que tiene negro que la azul
Hobos? lol, Nah Kidding everyone Does and
