Out of all the announcements we had this one was at the top of my list. Was an instant DOPO. Thank you and Ryan for this my hype is only solidified! Only gripe is that it’s not coming soon enough
I wonder what material Hot Toys used for the organ sac of their General Grievous. I saw pictures of the figure and the armor pieces do open to reveal it. I'm not sure if it's a softer material like rubber or something (including the organs inside it). I know Sideshow used plastic but I wonder what Hot Toys used.
Thanks Ryan for the high res pics! Ordered mine and can’t wait. I have the Sideshow version as well. This puts it to shame. I’ll pose battle damaged Gen. Grievous vs Obi Wan photo shoot. That’s it. In the case, I like the clean look
Grievous looks amazing! But the color looks a bit off, he has to be tan, as he was in the movie rather than white. Hope the final product will be the right color, on the promo pics he’s color looks right.ewerything else is flawless! I ordered this and the damaged Vader too, LETS GOOO!!!
Time to retire my old SS 1/6th Grievous Exclusive from 2014...currently languishing in the storage container of doom! Great overview of this new iteration Justin!!
It is diecast , they have this gradient cover over the promo pic so the red highlight on the diecast feet is not that obvious . Do look it back and you can see it’s actually highlighted red
There's a neat shot in The Clone Wars of Obi-Wan fighting Grievous with a lightsaber + electrostaff while Grievous is using all four arms. With this Grievous figure + the recent Clone Wars Obi-Wan figure released, that'd be a pose I'd love for someone to recreate.
hopefully the joints are a lot better than the last 2 Sideshow ones that are PITIFUL for the money new. Those Sideshow ones in the v1 and v2 are both under 180 online now lol i cant believe you paid 900 when a 1/4 scale premium format is under 700 shipped now. Shows how crazy people were for a Grievous and how loved he is
Funny how they have yet to show the lightsabers with the light up function. The web of cables coming out in 4 different directions will just look terrible.
Yep, but they d really need to engineer the figure with electronics in mind and this being a thin body, seems complicated but HT should really think about it.
Never have I been more excited to have a figure in my (droid) collection! Secretly hope they will announce a Magnaguard too but I won't get my hopes up, they are maybe a bit too niche for most...
Holy hell what a beauty….. Congrats to anyone who ends up getting this one in their collection. 😩 about time we no longer have to settle for the awful sideshow one
A source mentioned the arms are indeed one piece and it actually bends while it was combined , how cool is that ! Saw this in some fb hk hot toys group btw
Hot toys should experiment with wireless power for the lightsabers (like with the iPhone plus the magnets). It will take some time to figure out but it would be worth it and it will make it feel realer
Actually, it is, and it's based on the one Grievous used in Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008), which I preferred. In ROTS, Grievous was using three duplicate lightsabers, which were Luke Skywalker, Anakin Skywalker, and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Unlike Hot Toys, Sideshow Collectibles instead created all four unique designed lightsabers exclusively just for Grievous.
@@cjv929 Interesting, I haven't watched Clone Wars in a while and didn't notice that his sabers matched the set seen there. I just think most collectors would prefer he had the sabers he used against Obi-Wan in ROTS instead, which like you said, included the duplicates of Anakin and Obi-Wan's hilts from the film.
Tbh it actually came slightly earlier than I was expecting given 2025 is the 20th anniversary of ROTS, I though they might have held back the announcement and PO till then but very happy they didn't and we could be getting the release next year instead. Now we just need a red robed Chancellor Palpatine to close out the major characters from ROTS.
The wires and junction box is bad idea. Will look terrible trying to hide them. I’ve said it before I must be the only one that got an excellent tight GG with the second run. He is on shelf in a dynamic pose and was not hard to pose. I am happy as hell with it.
Hey Justin out of curiosity, it asks me to choose from either first batch or second batch. Which one would you recommend based on defects vs Hot Toys trust lol😅
Well hello there, this is the Grievous you been looking for..... 😁 EZ Purchase. (always a big thanks to Ryan K. for the amazeballs photography and videos)
I'm really worried about the arm joints because we see it with these 4 arms but no photos with two-arm poses that show us the arms bent so I suspect that the arms are connected We will not have a pose with good joint ranges, I hope I am wrong.
Holy peanuts, this is the third version of 1/6 Grievous? 😮I hope you get a sweet copy of him. Say, Justin, I'm thinking of adding some vehicles into my collection, like a Batpod or Speeder Bike... Do you enjoy them too?
@@JustinsCollection Hmm, my thoughts exactly. I'm running out of space. I must weigh the pros and cons.... a single vehicle, or 4 x 1/6 scale figures...
If I do end up getting this it's definitely gonna be cause of FOMO. I don't really collect lightsaber users cause it's not my main focus for my Star Wars collection - with Vader being the obvious exemption. But more than anything I'm just so curious to see the "art" behind this figure. Like what will they do that puts Sideshow and anyone else that's made this figure to shame
Justin did you talk to Howard Chan about any other materials they can use outside of pleather? I really would like to hear his explanation on why they use pleather, I want to hear how bad it is so we can prove him wrong. We need to let him know that want to buy these figures, pose them, leave them in that pose, put them in a cabinet, and not have to worry about anything.
@@JustinsCollection do you know someone can can talk to him about this. Because somebody needs to tell him that for the prices that they charge us for these figures, they should be using high quality and durable materials that won’t degrade like a cheap $20 knockoff Barbie doll.
My one critique of this figure is that it doesn't look like you can move his neck relative to the collar, meaning you can't recreate the hunched look he has for most of the movie. I want to display him in his funny T-Rex pose but I don't think it'll be possible to get right
Hot Toys Grievous is going to be amazing.
Agreed!
This awesome new general grievous, will be a fine addition to my collection .😄🤩
Cannot wait!
Can't wait for the re-creation of "Hello there"
Yes!
Thank you, Ryan
The real GOAT
I love This General Grievous, anything General Grievous I must buy
Nice!
Thank you Ryan and Justin.
Grievous is awesome.
It's preordered.
Finally, I can have him in my collection... I'm so happy.
Our pleasure!
Without You and Ryan the best channel wouldn't be possible
Ryan is the best!
He will make a fine addition to our collection
He will!
Finally, a worthy Grievous for our collection.
Yes!
Out of all the announcements we had this one was at the top of my list. Was an instant DOPO.
Thank you and Ryan for this my hype is only solidified! Only gripe is that it’s not coming soon enough
Nice!
Thanks Ryan and Justin! We NEED those Magna Guards!
We do!
I've been looking forward for this video
Nice!
Looks absolutely astonishing!!! I want it!!!!
Nice!
That statue vader alongside him is fire!😱🥵🔥🔥🔥
Oh that's a figure, not a statue
Figure Preview is live for that piece too

I'm not sure if it's a softer material like rubber or something (including the organs inside it). I know Sideshow used plastic but I wonder what Hot Toys used.
Yeah not sure

Ryan is the best!
The fan blades actually make sense because it would look like the scene where he is spinning the lightsabers
Maybe!
They even have his broche sculpted! The magnaguards have the same (or very similar) broche on their capes.
Yeah!
Was waiting for this video! Pre-ordered mine when it went live as I've wanted a Greivous for ages and was waiting for a hot toys one 😍
Sick!
This was pretty high up on my "Please, Hot Toys Make This" Wishlist.
Can you Imagine an updated Metal Frame - Silicon Body Hulk Figure????
That would be sick!
Another great addition to Justin’s Collection
Agreed haha
I appreciate how technical you get (i.e., "point of technical weakness" when discussing magnets and joints). 👍🤓👍
I try my best to explain everything in as much detail as possible, glad you like my commentary!
This is exactly why i waited and didn't get the sideshow one, this is more accurate and should be of way better quality
Sick!
Grievous looks amazing! But the color looks a bit off, he has to be tan, as he was in the movie rather than white. Hope the final product will be the right color, on the promo pics he’s color looks right.ewerything else is flawless! I ordered this and the damaged Vader too, LETS GOOO!!!
Isn’t his armour white in the movie and only tan in the clone wars? I could be wrong!
Yeah fair
Time to retire my old SS 1/6th Grievous Exclusive from 2014...currently languishing in the storage container of doom! Great overview of this new iteration Justin!!
Yeah for me too!
Grievous is my fave star wars character design-wise. So this is an easy pick up for me
Nice!
Thanks a ton to you and Ryan!
Our pleasure!
So glad to hear the feet might actually be diecast contrary to the announcement photos!
I hope so!
It is diecast , they have this gradient cover over the promo pic so the red highlight on the diecast feet is not that obvious . Do look it back and you can see it’s actually highlighted red

Oh sick! I need to see that!
Finally he is here! 💯 % agreed. Nice Grievous video Justin
Thank you!
Hooray! I'd love to meet Futurejustin. But alas, it can never happen... 😉
You and me both haha
He will make a fine edition to my collection!
Mine too haha
WOWZERS I LOVE YOU POST EVERYDAY! THIS PRE RELEASE LINE IS MY COMING ALONG DO WELL I LOVE IT! ALSO TY FOR HEARTING MY OTHER COMMENTS AND REPLYING❤
I try my best to post daily
I couldn't wait for your sneak peek and I am EAGERLY awaiting your review!
Sick!

We do!
Just preordered now the wait begins
Yes!

Agreed
This will make a fine addition to my collection 🔥
Yes!
I love Grievous he is my favorite character from Revenge of the Sith besides Anakin being number One
Sick!
The only thing that could top this for me is a Concept Art Vader
Oh fair
I hope they give him his accurate lightsabers for the final release.
Agreed

This looks incredible! I'm doing my own research and yes indeed this looks like a purchase LOL
Nice lol
finally, they did the general! Houra!
Yes!
Tbh it actually came slightly earlier than I was expecting given 2025 is the 20th anniversary of ROTS, I though they might have held back the announcement and PO till then but very happy they didn't and we could be getting the release next year instead.

Oh fair enough
I know this is technically from Episode three, but I’m gearing up to display this guy in my impending Clone Wars collection. I’m so excited for this.
it will work very well
Yeah he'd work easy
THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT THATS WHY HES THE MVP !!!!
Love your avatar!
Just saw this, thanks man I made it myself
Believe they give you the cape and you can hide the junction box in the Cape
Nice!
The wires and junction box is bad idea. Will look terrible trying to hide them.
I’ve said it before I must be the only one that got an excellent tight GG with the second run. He is on shelf in a dynamic pose and was not hard to pose. I am happy as hell with it.
Agreed!
He does look fantastic mind!
He does!
The New Hot Toys: General Grievous Figure, Looked Iron Bad to the Bone! 🌟
Need him!
@@JustinsCollection 😁👍
Ngl I think I prefer the electrostaff effects pieces from the sideshow version. Everything else looks infinitely better.
Oh interesting
Hey Justin out of curiosity, it asks me to choose from either first batch or second batch. Which one would you recommend based on defects vs Hot Toys trust lol😅
Usually hot toys are pretty good with QC but 2nd batch is safer I guess
For the lightsabers, why can't companies just use magnetic leds? They don't take up much space and you don't have to worry about cables sticking out.
Yeah not sure
Well hello there, this is the Grievous you been looking for..... 😁 EZ Purchase.
(always a big thanks to Ryan K. for the amazeballs photography and videos)
He so is!
I'm really worried about the arm joints because we see it with these 4 arms but no photos with two-arm poses that show us the arms bent so I suspect that the arms are connected We will not have a pose with good joint ranges, I hope I am wrong.
We shall see!
Pre ordered. Glad i waited
Sick!
So does this figure have floppy arm issues like the previous issues had?
That was the old sideshow one, I cover this in the video
"A fine addiction to my collection" unfortunately i don't have a collection yet.
A work in progress!
Do you know if they are close to shipping the dark knight joker or BvS Batman or if it will be a while?
Not sure!
The promo pic I'm looking at does show red in the feet area. It's just not the whole foot. Looks like it's just the pad in the middle
We shall see!
Love your vids Justin! Any chance you’ll do a HT Joaquin Joker preview?
Thanks! Of course!
Holy peanuts, this is the third version of 1/6 Grievous? 😮I hope you get a sweet copy of him.
Say, Justin, I'm thinking of adding some vehicles into my collection, like a Batpod or Speeder Bike... Do you enjoy them too?
Yep he sure is! Vehicles are nice but they take up as much space as multiple figures so I don't really do them
@@JustinsCollection Hmm, my thoughts exactly. I'm running out of space. I must weigh the pros and cons.... a single vehicle, or 4 x 1/6 scale figures...
If I do end up getting this it's definitely gonna be cause of FOMO.

Hey, Justin! Should we expect a Joker figure preview soon? Thanks
Yes!
They should do the 2003 one
100% they should!

I want him to add me to his collection 😍😍
Nice!
Was anyone else distracted by Vaders badass cape pose??
So sick honestly
yo justin do you have a personal favorite hot toy figure if so what is it and why ?
Too hard to pick!
Cool
Thanks!
YESSSSS
Heck yeah!
I saw your channel on Hong Kong TV
Oh you did?
Jar jar review next?👀
Maybe haha
Isn't it episode 310?
You may be right!
Just a second ago and it’s about someone figure scamming
I see, you have a link?
1037th
Yo!
Right this time I was first, but I don’t even care cause I’m not trying to fight. People be crazy about it but put all that aside another video
All good
Battle damage yeas
Indeed
I want to see your collection now not the old video
Working on it
My one critique of this figure is that it doesn't look like you can move his neck relative to the collar, meaning you can't recreate the hunched look he has for most of the movie. I want to display him in his funny T-Rex pose but I don't think it'll be possible to get right
I hope you can!
Sorry for u got scammed
I didn't get scammed
eyes are not yellow and pink like movie
Yeah I mentioned this
