Japanese online store, Maruzen-toy.com now has higher resolution pictures of Masterpiece Grimlock, which show greater detail. Click here to see them.

Also, you can view more detailed pictures of the Mickey Mouse
Transformer here.

These figures will be released in March, 2009.

starting to look like a masterpiece.
if hasbro will sell it for a price similar to 20th anni dvd prime, i'm buying it for certain. can't justify 120$ though.

oh my. I'm far from a Grimlock fanboy (in fact I detest the character) but that's starting to look like one impressive figure.

*Burn does not acknowledge the other THING in this news story*

Aha. Grimlock is sitting down in that picture with G1 Prime. That alleviates the height worries a little.

MP Grimlock is looking awesome so far...

News Credits: 409 · by **Stormrider** » Thu Nov 06, 2008 4:20 am

It doesn't seem like MP Grimlock will have much die-cast. Looking at the pictures and seeing the weight description, my guess is that he will only have a metal internal frame like MP Starscream & Megatron.

I'm sold, he's looking much better. I don't think his robot shoulders will be any better than Megatron but the rest looks great - I@m impressed with the articulation of dinmode.

As for Mickey - no knees, no elbows, no hands, no way.

I agree the shoulder will have limitations. The leg transformation is looking more complex. Question - how is the sword attaching to the wrist? Is it being held in the hand or does it lock directly onto the wrist?

I'm guessing there's a slot in there to facilitate the light gimmick.

I can't to see pics of this guy when they put in color. the prototype is looking to be a true masterpiece

Blue...err..not for me. Would rather see SunStorm as a repaint.

However, Grimlock looks marvelous. Can't wait for this one.

Ok, I missed it. Why in the motherfather does he have a drink tray?

I really hope they haven't left out his double-barrelled gun in favour of a feckin' drinks tray.

That Mickeyformer looks tiny, like a scout size or smaller.

Who better to serve important diplomatic guests drinks than a large, excessively clumsy Dinobot with a hair-trigger temper (and in dinosaur mode no less)?

That set of features looks quite impressive. He is starting to look like a very nice figure!

It's all part of the Autobot's plan to piss off every race in the galaxy. Decepticons used to be nice people before they met Autobots.

Mickey's looking better every time I see him. I especially love the slightly crazed look in the smaller Mickey's eyes.

As for Grimlock, nice party hat. Really couldn't care otherwise.
