Re: New Masterpiece Grimlock MP-08x
Takara has caught the hot toys disease. everybody run for your lives!!!
(for those of you who don't know, hot toys produces 1/6th scale figures and have revently been doing a lot of batman figures. First there was the joker, then the bank robber joker (a second, much better version), and then they announced an mms-dx line of "deluxe" figures (as opposed to the mms line). There first and second releases are new verisons of batman and the joker which have rolling eyes for added realism, new heads, etc... Hence with this being the mp-08X version, it is like the 'dx' version of the batman figures. Similarly, the new box for this one reminds me of the bank robber joker box compared to the original V1 joker box. )
Also, for me this is an easy pass I think. As much as I like Grimlock, I'm not going to rebuy him just for the crown, and to be honest I'm not a big fan of the new box art. It's a nice touch, but it's definitley not a masterpecie line box imo. There's something classy about the current mp line boxes that is missing with the walmart starscream and now this box. It's not that it's a bad box by any means, but it's just not what I would have gone with
