Grimlock is pure win.

I can't wait for this to come out. I know it's a dream, but just imagine 4 other MP Dinobots beside him.

Keep in mind that March is right in the middle of the tax season in the US. If you get your return in early you should get your refund check back before any of these figures come out. Unless you make a butt load of money and actually have to pay. But if that's the case why the heck are you worried about $150?

A must buy - regardless of the height issue. I'm surprised i haven't seen more complaints on here that he should be taller than MP Prime in robot mode. On another forum more that half the posts complained about it -make or break it with the height. I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that he'll be slightly taller than SS, but shorter than Prime. I'm cool with that. Although in the g1 cartoon Grimlock was huge in alt mode. I'm foggy about the drink tray - it was used in a g1 episode i think - which one? Love the rest of the accessories although i can't remember what this new blaster looks like.

I just noticed that Grimlock's right hand in Robot Mode does not have a pin in the knuckles like the left hand. It doesn't look like it open and closes, probably for the light up sword.

Just think of the crossover doors Mickimus is opening, we're one step closer to a transforming nine-tailed bowl of ramen!

By "THIS" do you mean Grimmy or Mickey?

If you mean Grimmy, I doubt you've much to worry about as I'm sure Sunstorm will be next in the MP Seeker line. Also as awesome as SS might be, this Grimlock kicks.

If you mean Mickey....

Uh..

That isn't in the Masterpeice range and has nothing to do with the line at all, it just happens to be getting produced at the same time.

Either way I would not be surprized to see a MP Sunstorm release announced before this time next year.

I'm predicting an e-Hobby exclusive.

I would rather have a new Masterpiece mold over a seeker repaint any day of the week. Sunstorm may be pretty cool, But I'm glad that they made Grimlock first.

My comment was intended to be sarcastic, there's legions of loyal dinobot fans out there and I love slagging in their proverbial cereal.
I'd be surprised to see a Sunstorm repaint, but I wouldn't pass up the opportunity to get one.

I don't see the fuss about Mickimus. I think it's impressive how well they reached a compromise with his body shape and Prime's. I can stomach shameless crossovers better than I can stomach intrusive product placement.

Ah sarcasm on the net isn't always easy to see...

As for why I would pick-up Mickey, I think the truck mode for Mickey is spot on and really matches the idea of an alt-form for blending into ToonTown.

Plus now that with better images we can see Minney driving and Mickey hanging on in 'bot mode, I'm thinking this will be under the "crossover" banner which is developing into quite the line in itself.

SW TF was pushing it. Mildly cool. Wouldn't spend $ on em though. Too expensive. Marvel TF - really pushing it. Don't care for em. Mickey Prime? Sick and wrong - get the *(&%^ outta here. 2 franchises not meant to be put together. And all the other crossovers are a real stretch & pretty weak as i already mentioned. I despise Mighty Muggs too - i can't believe sw people were army building the Stormtrooper MM - they should be dragged out in the street and shot. MM are the worst collectible i've ever seen. Terrible.
