I just bought FOC Optimus prime last week. I was initially excited until i removed him from the bubble. Boy was a disappointed. He felt sooo freakin' cheap! Flimsy, and lightweight. Is it safe (yt sorrowful) to assume Grimlock will be the same way when hes released next year? Seeing as how hes from the same line?

Adam,
It's worth noting that Soundwave/blaster is pretty awesome. If anything it's reasonably to assume FoC Grimlock will be awesome (if a tad on the light side). And with
some ratchet joints at least.

I don't have it, but from what I've heard it's not -that- bad. The aesthetic is nice, but yeah it is pretty small. Jazz on the other hand has no excuses for being as bad as it is.

Just because it's in the same line doesn't mean every toy in the line will suck. PRiD gave us awful figures like Airachnid, yet they gave us incredible ones like Vehicon & Soundwave too.

In the sense of the transformation its self, its not terrible. But damn does it feel cheap! I honestly thought someone swapped out with a KO version. Don't buy it!

TFs in general are "cheaper" quality-wise than they were in years before, so it's almost guaranteed that Grimlock will suffer from thinner parts, hollow sections, lighter plastic, smaller size, minimal paint aps, etc..

IKR!...Seems like the way to go is just collect older figures.
