I just recently got the AOE leader class Grimlock and was noticing that the feet on my figure are on opposite of what they should be ( so the the foot with the small L on the bottom is on te right of his body). What I'm wondering is this on all the Grimlock figures, or did I just happen to get a bad copie? If it is a bad copie is there a way I can fix it or should I just take it back for another one? Any helpful answers would be great.

I just checked, and mine's like that too. It doesn't seem to cause any problems, though, so I wouldn't worry about it.

The whole "L" and "R" thing on parts gets kind of weird at times, especially when they "switch orientation" in alt mode. Leader Grimlock, for all purposes, flips over in Dino Mode, so the markings may actually be correct for alt mode.

I keep staring at this guy on the shelf, but I can't pull the trigger. Trying to avoid movie toys, although Hound looks pretty sweet.

In that case, I'd recommend the Voyager version. It's still a good figure at less than half the price. (And, IMO, a better-looking alt mode.)

Now, if you said you were collecting the movie figures, I'd say get the Leader version. I got the Voyager, but seeing him displayed with the Deluxe dinobots, I kind of wish I had the larger Leader version so he towered over the others more.

Honestly, i love the dinobots as they appeared in G1. It's just too much of a divergence for me. MP Grimlock is fantastic. The AOE Grimlock is like an ugly cousin with nice chrome. I'm thinking i might save my cash and just buy the rest of the G1 dinobots to go with MP Grimlock.

Thanks for the help on this. I decided to just keep him as he does stand just fine.

The Rescue Bots dinobots must be giving you conniptions, then. :grin:
