Masterpiece Grimlock Concerns

i have a few concerns/questions about MP Grimlock. So as some of you know who frequent the B/S/T forum, i've been looking for Grimlock for some time now. A few things come to mind that make me kinda on the edge about saving up and buying him. Here they are in numerical order.

1. Does he feel cheap? Like does the plastic feel like it will last awhile?
2. Does he have alot of hollow spaces?
3. Are there any particular ''points of stress''?


Thats it. Please tell of any problems you've had with yours.


thanks!

I've got the Tak version and he certainly doesn't feel cheap. After many transformations he has no stress marks and it never feels like I will break him.

The only hollow space in in the upper torso of the T-Rex mode, but that is rather show accurate when you watch him transform in the cartoon.

The only problem I have with him is that they didn't design his weapons to fold up to take advantage of that space :D

Overall he is a very nice figure IMHO.

MP Grimlock is like MP Prime (01 and 10, both) - a serious tank compared to Starscream and Megatron. Tough as nails, and utterly awesome.

I was wondering the exact same thing the other day, AdamFett. Really glad to hear that MP Grimlock's as solid as they come.

Ain't nothin wrong with MP Grimlock. They nailed it with him. You can get some pretty dynamic poses with him too. I've had him balancing on one leg no problem.
I would like him to be tighter in the chest area but the slack is so minimal that it really is of little consequence.
I have the Hasbro version.
