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.

@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?
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
@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?
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.
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
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
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.
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 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
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.

Awesome Review! I like the paint job but I'll stick to MP-08
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

I am blown away by the production value of this video.
i really like watching tfsource reviews, they're really relaxing

"Me, Grimlock not bozo, me king!"
Was that a tiny black and gold Grimlock towards the end of the vid transformable? Where can I get it!?

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

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
@goog96

@goog96

I wanna see a Cliffjumper MP
@JonesSpirius I think the colors are incredible
Someone do know how many pieces are produced in this Limited Edition\Version of This King Grimlock the Sleep Convoy and Ghost Starscream??
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
Another good review. I like both MP-08's. Hard to chose one over the other.
@TheNotru Link to a review?

great great figure. love the colors and crown too.
will they make a rodimus prime ?
that would be EPIC
Just great!
AWESOME!
Thanks a lot, this was a fun one. Who doesn't like dinosaurs??
is there a theory of a masterpiece galvitron
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!
you can leave the crown on when transforming
can somone please tell me the difference between mp3 grimlock and mp8?
@goog96
really? now i gotta see rodimus!!! which Grimlock do u have?
@SEANxLONG Thanks Sean. It's definitely a figure for those that missed out on the first run of MP-08
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.
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
looks cool
I believe it's the original Gundam's head that's based off a samurai mask, actually...
i saw a human in the grimlock collection shot
Great review.
MP-08X looks very nice but certainly not $100 nicer than MP-08 I don't care how blinged out he is.
i need to get this
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
wow, im getting this one in stead of the 'normal' one
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.

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
@Halostar22 king grimlock is out but its not this. its the frist paint job with a crown
I wish I could find a grimlock
ive seen this at my local toys r us in NY in different, clear, packaging for $70
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
@OmegaDragon588 they should make all G1 Transformers MP's
my normal masterpice grimlock came with a crown blaster and soward
Egad, I think I had the original one when I was little.
I need this
@OmegaDallen They already made one.
@OmegaDragon588 Grimlock does need servants to boss around.....
I hope the next masterpiece will be galvatron
@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
"Fuck up" in what sense? this toy is everything Grimlock should be!
They should ... but they should have been bigger than Megatron and Prime Masterpiece
get the hasbro vertion then custom paint it to king grimlock
They need to mastepiece all of the Dinobots
Worth a million on amazon
That remind me of me grimlock & grimlock
Nice. :D
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
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.
Or A Masterpiece Galvatron!
@OmegaDallen Just search up Masterpiece Rodimus Prime Review
the grimlock upgrade kit kind of makes this useless
i have the mp-o8
I would gladly pay $200 for that.......even more!
@YuGiOhPlanet thats the hasbro masterpiece grimlock
me gusta mas la vercion que tiene negro que la azul
It´s a very nice repaint yet WAY TOO OVERPRICED!
That was you lol
Its a nice repaint but 200 BUCKS and comes with less accessories than the first release!?
I pass it.
AHaha you customized an MP Grimlock!?!
lol from waitress to king
lol just buy the toys r us exclusive it comes with a GOLD crown and looks legit
Hobos? lol, Nah Kidding everyone Does and
ME GRIMLOCK SAY PEOPLE LOVE ME MORE!
Not for an extra hundred dollars it's not!
Beast wars a transformer rat? What where they thinking
Wait I mean me grimlock grimlock & grimlock
I agree. $230 for this, GTFO!
5:48 that is not true, what a liar. XD
Beast machines was a fail,
