Mine came with a blaster and then I lost it like a fool. Oh well, not like I was gonna use it anyway, and I got a E-5 Battle Droid blaster from my Padme (not the exact same blaster but he uses it in TCW so it works if I need it). But definitely quad saber is the way to go. I once had to return my Second Sister and get a new one because the first one I got was missing her Lightsaber and didn’t even notice until I got home!
@@lawrencejelsma3937 ok? I guess you're one of those types that takes everything way too seriously. I'd say you must be fun at parties, but I doubt you've ever been invited to one, so who knows?
My most anticiped black series figure, I can't wait for dorksidetoys to wake up and send me my order (with mace windu, padme and the b1). Good review as always Mike !
We just got ours today and watched your review. Totally agree with the lack of rocker on feet...but...wow. He's amazing. We got him on sale at Gamestop for $18.99...happy about that.
"A Grievous in hand is better than 2 on the shelf". Hasbro got it right. Spot on great figure. On par with Bandai I got a year or so ago. Only draw back is his height...needs a bit more in size. Size does matter! Sabers and cloak look great... As for the D1 appellation...the D denotes "Damn!"...Number 1 figure. As always great review. Great job.
Could you try to tuck the edge of the cape into the neck armor to see if its possible and make a mini update video on it? That would be more screen accurate but I haven't seen any reviewer do it yet
I fucking died at the opening 😅 I’ve gotta say, my favorite version is the Tardikofsky version simply because he kinda scared me as a 7-8 year old. The cloak kinda makes me a little hesitant, as the design around the neck looks a bit odd, so it’s nice to hear some positive about it. Excellent review my friend!
After heavy consideration I decided to buy him.. It helped that I happened to find him at my local Barnes and Noble and since I'm a member I got 10% off! Also regarding the lack of wrist rotation, I'm not sure if you noticed by now since you've made this video but there is a swivel at the upper forearm just under the elbow joint that allows for practically the same movement as a wrist rotation. Really helps with posing!
Been very much looking forward to this review Mike, many have posted buy not worth seeingvas you do the best and only worth watching reviews in my book 👍👍👍👍
I've been on the fence with this figure till I saw your review, great review, pushed me over the edge. I feel the same way you do to a tee about the figure and I was hoping he would be a bit more stable, but, you know what, I have a few action figure stands that would allow me to pose him any which way, so there, problem solved. Thanks again..
I'm happy he was as easy to get as he was. When it was announced I was fearing these would be the second coming of the gamorrean guards, and I'm glad we were all saved the frustration that came along with that release. Awesome figure, and definitely a nice addition to my collection!
I buy it on Saturday is very very fine addition as you say I don’t know why is a D 1 i don’t know which other figures will be in this line of extra-large figures. excellent video keep the good work
I bought this, and its insane the detailing is great the best part is how much articulation he has, 5 out of 5 for me. great review 100% agree with you
this is one i want...havent seen any new star wars black series in a long time...had some archive figs come and go quickly but thats it. great showing...some nice close shots there buddy, that digital print looks bad up close, but i agree with what you've said....im on the hunt!!
Such a awesome figure and epic review Mike👍👍 will they bring out his gaurds next with the staffs they use they would look amazing with grievous in photos!!
Yeah I feel like Dorkside is a bit slow on this one. I ordered it day 1, and I only just got it Friday. But I will say when it shipped out, it shipped fast!
Got mine a few days ago. As you said, the articulation, and assessorease ar great. The only complaint I have is, wish he was made a little bit heavier. He seems to be too lite and very brittle, like he might break easily.
I really want to like this and part of me really wants to buy it, but no ankle tilt or wrist articulation are just such huge turn offs........ Not sure what to do lol
Yeah I really wanted to make sure I pointed that out because I know some people are turned off by things like that. But he looks so good in the shelf, it doesn’t bother me too much.
Probably the figure I wanted in 6" the most. So excited when he was announced and I got him. I honestly also thought he seemed small upon first handling
I really enjoy your reviews, I just recieved my Grevious still not unboxed. Do you know if Hasbro has any plans for stands for the 6 inch line?? Keep up the great work.👍👍
There are some new stands coming with exclusive figures, but that’s the only plans I’ve seen so far. And those are only with the up coming exclusive figures like the Jumptrooper and Stormtrooper Luke.
Are you able to get him to stand up long term in theory? I mostly just put them on my shelf so if he's gonna nosedive every night idk if I should get him, but the positivity is tempting me
Mine always falls over. When I manage to stand him and come back back from work, he's on the floor along with two or three other figures he knocked over.
So I got my grevious in a badass pose but I can't get it to stand. Any advice? Do u think I can drill a small peg hole in his foot so I can put him on a stand?
Just got mine from BBTS today. He's got a hidden forearm swivel on all four arms... that's a weird sentence. Anyway, it's just below the elbows and helps quite a bit with the wrist problem. The ankles are very annoying though. Other than that, I'm quite pleased with him.
You know, I was super gently when exploring this figure because if I break it, it’s not like I can go out and just find another. I was SURE I explored it all, but I may have to post an update! Thanks as always! Your comments always help out!
Mike, how did you get him? I can’t find him ANYWHERE, Dorkside is obviously never going to ship my preorder, and I’ve preordered from GameStop so that means I may get that one by next year? Why am I having such a hard time getting him?
Excellent review Mike! This was one of those figures I couldn't wait to get. Like you I was a little disappointed with the lack of articulation in the feet. I feel it could have been better and there should have been more articulation in the hips to give a wider stance. The cape on mine is not sewn at the bottom either, and I like the cape, but feel that there is too much material around the neck area. Maybe I'm just nitpicking. I look forward to the next review.
Mine came in finally from BBTS the other day. Can not wait until i have more space to put this on display. Great review as always Mike. Also, quick question, what is your opinion on the new Hyperreal Darth Vader coming sometime this year?
I am looking forward to the Hyperreal Vader. I have it on order from Amazon, I got it when it was $50, so I’ll definitely post a review of it when it get it.
I love the way grievous first appeared in the first animated clone wars, I remember watching how much the jedi were terrified of him, how the padawan lost it and couldn't cope with watching the clone troopers getting destroyed and thrown at the jedi taunting them, I wish we had more of that version in the movie and the later clone wars series.
I think that cloak could have done with being less bulky at the top as all that thickness and material kind of spoils the effect of the rest of the cloak for me.
Adam Skywalker I just buy my stuff from dorksidetoys you can never find anything where I live. Amazon might have a grievous up but it’ll prob be a bit more expensive
I really want a black series Count Dooku, but looking at Hasbro's track record. They haven't put out a lot of Dooku figures for the 3.75 inch line. We didn't even get an updated vintage collection Dooku figure. We got one for Maul, Vader,Grievous, and Sidious but not for Dooku :(
Completely agree with you! I actually love this figure and versatility with posing. But yeah he falls over once a day, sometimes twice. And the cape does have room for improvement. I’m sure they’ll be some custom cape options out there. And I’m fairly certain my cape is seen at the bottom. You have the worst luck with two left feet or weird hands on your figures!!!
Great vid as always MK. I paid $32 & change plus shipping on BBTS. There must be something wrong with me, I would have been happy paying that much for the four laser swords. How would you feel about a Black Series accessory pack? What would you want to be included? Inquiring minds want to know. 👍🙏
Hello There....Great review as always.If you received your figure why haven't I ??? They may have left his Cape open at the bottom to keep it from bunching up? EPISODE 1 was just on TNT Monday.They should of added his enternal guts. BYE
General Grievous is a troublesome character design when it comes to toys, because most Grievous figures seem to have trouble supporting their own weight and the only ones that don't are the ones that are missing key points of articulation in the legs. I remember spending $10 on the super-articulated 3.75" Grievous, back in 2008, and he was made with such bendy plastic that it was like trying to get cooked spaghetti to stand up straight. I felt kind of ripped off paying $10 for that figure, so I imaged that I would feel even more ripped off paying $30 for a larger figure that has the same problem.
Great review! 😄 The figure looks really good, I'm glad Hasbro have been improving the quality of their figures. Revenge of the Sith was the first Star Wars movie I saw, my brother loved Grievous and I still think the Grievous fight scenes are very well done. I'll stop there to keep this comment positive 😉
I've collected every 2005-2013 General Grievous! In 6 inch I think George Lucas was in my same framework of great artificial alien concepts when he created, again surprising me back in 2005, my advanced intelligence to designs!!
@@MikeKaess ... No not me! 😂 When he had "Queen Amadala" in 1999 (red Queen and action figure then to) I was interested in those side features in her headwear! It impressed me in 2005 when he used them in the design concepts of General Grievous as my attempts to come up with anything were lame! 😂
Three words, five syllables - Bandai. Model kit. Just got done assembling and painting the model kit Grievous and damn is it sweet; highly posable, insanely detailed, and fairly priced. I respect what Hasbro has attempted, and would definitely give the BS version to a kid to play with, as the model kit would be too fragile. Apologies if I came off as dumping on the BS version - it's a nice fig, but that Bandai is superior imo. Regardless, great review, man.
I complete agree, Bandai Model kits are great. But sometimes I just want to buy a toy and not build it. I also think the model kits tend to feel hollow and fragile. But I definitely like the model kits I’ve done.
Also sucks that he doesn’t have wrist rotation because his most iconic move literally has him rotating his wrists really fast making a giant saber fan.
Now I want a Prequel Obi Wan Kenobi to be re-released with the face print tech because the old one demands a pretty high price! Just got my Grievous from a LCS yesterday and he looks fantastic... I'm slowly stretching my Black Series beyond just Rebels figures... my wallet cries out Mike... do you hear it? Do you? BYE!
We honestly have no idea who’s lightsabers come with Grievous because they reuse lightsabers on Jedi all the time in TCW and the movies. Jedi who shares lightsabers: - Ki-Adi Mundi - Ayala Secura - Eeth Koth - Seasee Tin - Kit Fisto - Agen Kolar - Shaak Ti - Plo Koon - Luminara Unduli - etc. Basically every single Jedi except main character use and reuse the four lightsaber hilts that grievous comes with, really odd - I know. I guess it makes sense. Why put in the effort to make individual lightsaber when they’re gonna be cameos in the movies for 5 seconds, right? Kinda backfired on them when these Jedi became recurring character in TCW show and such. Well, thanks to anyone who read my mini novel.
My Grievous came missing his blaster! Definitely agree you should pay less for characters like Yoda!
That sucks! I hope you get a replacement!
Mine came with a blaster and then I lost it like a fool. Oh well, not like I was gonna use it anyway, and I got a E-5 Battle Droid blaster from my Padme (not the exact same blaster but he uses it in TCW so it works if I need it). But definitely quad saber is the way to go. I once had to return my Second Sister and get a new one because the first one I got was missing her Lightsaber and didn’t even notice until I got home!
ChrisFFBoi I lost my cape for him but I’m not gonna use it
Came for a general review. Got a very detailed review.
I hate you
In the first 15 seconds I already love this dude
Don’t worry, there’s still time to hate me!
Better hope L3-37 doesn't hear you body shaming any robots.
Oh no! TRIGGERED
General Grievous is not a robot! Check your Wiki facts before posting to SW fans he is an EP III droid, idiot!
@@lawrencejelsma3937 ok? I guess you're one of those types that takes everything way too seriously. I'd say you must be fun at parties, but I doubt you've ever been invited to one, so who knows?

My most anticiped black series figure, I can't wait for dorksidetoys to wake up and send me my order (with mace windu, padme and the b1). Good review as always Mike !
lol i'm in the same boat with dorkside, i emailed them yesterday and they said the orders should be sent out soon
I hope you get them soon!
More prequel stuff this year! Windu, Grievous, B1 Battle Droid, Padme, Archive Yoda, Anakin, and Maul. They just need to release Dooku!!!
Woo!
I hope hasbro realise how many fans want a Dooku figure.
lol 13:40 They have that already Mike! They call them 3.75" figures.
El oh el! You know what I mean ;)

The 2003 Clone Wars Series was pretty freest and easily the most formidable and menacing version of Grievous!
"I'm not body shaming...I'm *robot* body shaming." lmaoooo, your reviews are the best, Mike. Thanks again!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Great review. I am so happy to finally have Gen. Grievous in my collection. A dream come true!
Me too!
Been very much looking forward to this review Mike, many have posted buy not worth seeingvas you do the best and only worth watching reviews in my book 👍👍👍👍
Aww shucks, I think lots of other people have their own great takes on a figure. But thank you for the compliment!

Of course! I really this figure a lot! I think you will too
Those sabers belong to the following jedi Shaak Ti, Eeth Koth, Pablo-Jill and Roron Corobb.
Very weird how two of them made their way to Plo Koon and Kit Fisto.
He should've come with... his monocycle! seriously I'd have paid double for that as a set, and then get an obi wan on his lizard mount!
I would love either of those for sure
I'm happy he was as easy to get as he was. When it was announced I was fearing these would be the second coming of the gamorrean guards, and I'm glad we were all saved the frustration that came along with that release. Awesome figure, and definitely a nice addition to my collection!
I agree! It’s nice not to have to fight other collectors or scalpers over just getting one!
"What does he come with?"
My first thought:
*F I N E A D D I T I O N S*
Aahhhh *wet cough* ooh. Maybe Grievous should wear a face mask.
I buy it on Saturday is very very fine addition as you say I don’t know why is a D 1 i don’t know which other figures will be in this line of extra-large figures. excellent video keep the good work
D1 is there because it’s a new series of Black Series figures, the D stands for Deluxe.
@@MikeKaess which figures do you think will came after ??
Preorder. Hope it doesn’t get delayed
Me too!

Such a awesome figure and epic review Mike👍👍 will they bring out his gaurds next with the staffs they use they would look amazing with grievous in photos!!
I would LOVE Magna Guards to go with this figure.
I pre ordered mine from Dorkside Toys on January 9th and my order is still processing 😑 I can’t wait to get my hands on this figure!
Yeah I feel like Dorkside is a bit slow on this one. I ordered it day 1, and I only just got it Friday. But I will say when it shipped out, it shipped fast!
Prequel memes are legit!! And wow love your unicron T shirt Mike where is it from that is awesome!!! "You belong to me now"
I’m pretty sure I got the Unicron shirt from Ript Apparel.
Finally just found one at a Gamestop near me! Great review, made me want him more!
Glad you found one!
Got mine a few days ago. As you said, the articulation, and assessorease ar great. The only complaint I have is, wish he was made a little bit heavier. He seems to be too lite and very brittle, like he might break easily.
Yeah he is a little on the light side. It’s because of the molded details create a lot of hollow areas.
I really want to like this and part of me really wants to buy it, but no ankle tilt or wrist articulation are just such huge turn offs........ Not sure what to do lol
Yeah I really wanted to make sure I pointed that out because I know some people are turned off by things like that. But he looks so good in the shelf, it doesn’t bother me too much.
Mike my friend, yet anther amazing video bro!!! I'm looking forward to the next one!!!
Thanks, Bro!
I LOVED THE ACTION AND VOICE OF GENERAL GRIEVOUS IN THE CLONE WARS MICRO SERIES.
Me too!
My grievous came with a emblem on the cape idk maybe I have a new version or yours has an error
Weird! I wonder if it’s a running change
Probably the figure I wanted in 6" the most. So excited when he was announced and I got him. I honestly also thought he seemed small upon first handling
He does seem a bit small, but as far as I can tell, he’s the proper height

Yeah it’s easy to nitpick little things like that on this figure, but I don’t want it to take away too much from an otherwise great figure.
Mike Kaess it’s definitely a badass figure, I’m glad to have it in my collection.
Also, are the Mace Windu and Battle Droid reviews coming soon I’d love to see both of those
Yeah they’re coming!
I’ve been looking forward to this! Prequel memes never go old!
They really don’t.
The 3.75 vc version from the original vc series has the emblem on his Cape, shame we didn't get it on this one.
Huge shame!
Favourite figure yet! I wish they release a magma guard to compliment grievous!
Agreed!
Mine came in finally from BBTS the other day. Can not wait until i have more space to put this on display. Great review as always Mike.
Also, quick question, what is your opinion on the new Hyperreal Darth Vader coming sometime this year?
I am looking forward to the Hyperreal Vader. I have it on order from Amazon, I got it when it was $50, so I’ll definitely post a review of it when it get it.
My General grievous Cape was not sold at the bottom to but that’s how all of the general grievous keep calm like
Good to know!
Another awesome review Mike.
Thanks bro!
I love the way grievous first appeared in the first animated clone wars, I remember watching how much the jedi were terrified of him, how the padawan lost it and couldn't cope with watching the clone troopers getting destroyed and thrown at the jedi taunting them, I wish we had more of that version in the movie and the later clone wars series.
Yeah the 2003 clone wars cartoon was the most intimidating Grievous hands down.
I think that cloak could have done with being less bulky at the top as all that thickness and material kind of spoils the effect of the rest of the cloak for me.
Fair enough
Clone commandos would be a sick 6inch figure to have.
Agree!
Im still holding out for that christopher lee figure but I’ll definitely pick up this grievous. Plz hasbro i just want the count
We definitely need a dooku!
Hey Mike. That’s a super review you did. L’me ask you: do you know what store(s) can I get him?
you can't get him in store, its an online exclusive. your best bet is either, dorksidetoys.com, entertainmentearth.com, or toywiz.com
Like Bumblebee909 said, he’s an online exclusive. You can, however, other him at GameStop/EBGames as well.
I’m a super nerd but not enough to know who those lightsabers belonged to pleas tell me
I have no idea!
Where is your location i still don't have any of the new ones
I think you have to get this one online only and maybe GameStop. It won’t be in target or Walmart from what I heard.
Entertainment Earth has it and new Wave figures. Big Bad Toy Store and HasbroPlus as well
@@DavidSmith-vw5eg well that sucks
Adam Skywalker I just buy my stuff from dorksidetoys you can never find anything where I live. Amazon might have a grievous up but it’ll prob be a bit more expensive
I live in SoCal, but like these folk have said, this figure is an online exclusive. Just order him online!
I really want a black series Count Dooku, but looking at Hasbro's track record. They haven't put out a lot of Dooku figures for the 3.75 inch line. We didn't even get an updated vintage collection Dooku figure. We got one for Maul, Vader,Grievous, and Sidious but not for Dooku :(
We really do need a Dooku. He’ll continue to be on my list every time I make a list for sure until we get one.
I can't wait to get one of my own. I pre-ordered one for me and my kid but they haven't come in yet.
I hope you get it soon!
So pumped !!! I can’t wait to get mine!
Hope you get it soon!
Shoulda come with one of those staffs with the purple electricity
That would have been a good accessory too
Grievous is my favorite Star Wars Character. I’m soooo glad that there’s a 6 in scale figure now.
yeah and im happy he's pretty good
The comments on getting him to stand are so accurate 😂😂😂
Completely agree with you! I actually love this figure and versatility with posing. But yeah he falls over once a day, sometimes twice. And the cape does have room for improvement. I’m sure they’ll be some custom cape options out there. And I’m fairly certain my cape is seen at the bottom. You have the worst luck with two left feet or weird hands on your figures!!!
I do have bad luck! But an open bottom of the cape isn’t the worst thing.
I read it in some Star Wars book, General Grievous has electromagnets in his hips that keep the lightsabers on his hips.
that would make sense
He looks as imposing as you would expect. They did a great job.
Agreed!
Great vid as always MK. I paid $32 & change plus shipping on BBTS. There must be something wrong with me, I would have been happy paying that much for the four laser swords. How would you feel about a Black Series accessory pack? What would you want to be included? Inquiring minds want to know. 👍🙏
We 100% need accessory packs. Cloaks. Hands. Alternate heads. Blasters. Lightsabers. We need them all.
Where it's avaiable? I'm searching it and can't find. It's exclusive from a store?
Yeah I actually mention that in the review. It’s an online exclusive. So any online retailer.
Hello There....Great review as always.If you received your figure why haven't I ??? They may have left his Cape open at the bottom to keep it from bunching up? EPISODE 1 was just on TNT Monday.They should of added his enternal guts. BYE

I like what i'm seeing...thanks for this! I do, however, dislike that soft goods cape...mine will be displayed off!
Fair enough!
I still totally gotta pick this figure up...👌🏼💯✔
he's worth picking up!
Great review! 😄 The figure looks really good, I'm glad Hasbro have been improving the quality of their figures. Revenge of the Sith was the first Star Wars movie I saw, my brother loved Grievous and I still think the Grievous fight scenes are very well done. I'll stop there to keep this comment positive 😉

You are totally right if Hasbro is gonna charge us more for big figures then we should get a price cut on smaller figs. Amen brother !!
It just makes sense!
Cool unocron shirt👍
Thanks!
Hey mike, it was good meeting you at rocket con this month!! -Kevin
Hey! Kevin! It was cool meeting you too!
Love the review man. Nice job.
Thanks!
Best thing is you can mix and match lightsabers to make up senarios
So true!
That blaster is actually a exessory because he killed jedi with a gun before he had a light saber just felt I should say..
Great call out :)
@@MikeKaess your welcome
Thought you should know
Also sucks that he doesn’t have wrist rotation because his most iconic move literally has him rotating his wrists really fast making a giant saber fan.
He has... forearm rotation that I missed
Mike Kaess that is so but I do feel like his wrists need some sort of movement
The cape is left open at the bottom to allow you to easily add wire, if you so please.
Oh snap, that makes sense
In all seriousness though, I NEED THIS!!!
I hope you get it!
great review i think this one is your best ever
Thank you!
I didn’t see an emblem in the movie
Yeah I don’t think there was one
There was. It was kind of easy to miss, but it was there. Its the separatist logo.
Now I want a Prequel Obi Wan Kenobi to be re-released with the face print tech because the old one demands a pretty high price! Just got my Grievous from a LCS yesterday and he looks fantastic... I'm slowly stretching my Black Series beyond just Rebels figures... my wallet cries out Mike... do you hear it? Do you?
BYE!
Epsiode 3 obiwan was definitely on my list! The face on the old one is pretty awful, especially by today’s standards.
A pro review as always.
Much appreciated!
I WANT ONE!!!
I hope you get one!
We honestly have no idea who’s lightsabers come with Grievous because they reuse lightsabers on Jedi all the time in TCW and the movies.
Jedi who shares lightsabers:
- Ki-Adi Mundi
- Ayala Secura
- Eeth Koth
- Seasee Tin
- Kit Fisto
- Agen Kolar
- Shaak Ti
- Plo Koon
- Luminara Unduli
- etc.
Basically every single Jedi except main character use and reuse the four lightsaber hilts that grievous comes with, really odd - I know. I guess it makes sense. Why put in the effort to make individual lightsaber when they’re gonna be cameos in the movies for 5 seconds, right?
Kinda backfired on them when these Jedi became recurring character in TCW show and such. Well, thanks to anyone who read my mini novel.
It’s so weird!
Nice figure & great review
Thanks!
Great Video, I cant wait to get mine in the mail.
Thanks! I hope you get it soon!
By the way the hilts are wrong lol
Lol thank you!
Hey Mike did you get that package I sent?
I did! Sorry I meant to message you! I haven’t opened it yet. I’m getting another package or two soon so I’m gonna do a full video.
Mike Kaess no worries, it’s nothing spectacular just some small things I thought you might enjoy
Glad but sad to hear that I’m not the only one dealing with the problem of him constantly falling over😂😂
Yeah he likes to fall and it’s sad!
I think I’m going to add a wash to mine
I think a wash will make it look even better for sure!
