As mentioned before, just shrink him down a tad. He's just far to big.

Even though they came up with an inovative solution to fix the height difference, they could have thought about scale prior to design.

I'm certain they did. They probably wanted them (including Grimlock) to not just scale with one another, but also properly with the new MP line (since MP-08 is technically too small to be in scale with the new MPs).

For that the should have just made their own Grimlock. Anybody who is willing to pay $800 plus shipping for the other 4 dinobots wont mind buying a properly scaled Grimlock.

Yep, agreed. I'm guessing they figured most people wouldn't go for a new Grimlock though since they already paid for MP-08, but they didn't want to piss off those collectors by having a Slag that doesn't scale with him so this is the best and most cost effective solution they could come up with. Who knows? Maybe this is just a stop-gap measure and they will end up doing their own Grimlock and the shoes are just for the collectors who already have MP-08 and won't want to replace him. Of course, if they do their own Grimlock it's likely to be a much smaller production run because of MP-08.

It's FunPub. It's their specialty.

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

And Grimlock looks hilariously bad with those new shoes. If they wanted this to work properly, and still go with upgrading MP 08, they should have included new larger lower legs, larger arms, and a larger head for Grimlock. That way it wouldn't look so ridicules and still be cheaper than doing a full figure.
They should make MPs of things that won't be officially made, like the weird Japan only cassettes, Alpha Trion, the Quintesons etc. Damn I would love an MP Alpha Trion, or Quintesson.

Do you have inside info about the official MP Dinobots coming soon?
