ML Grimlock would cost me way above 200$can. That's insane. It's the same price as ML Optimus Prime and he came with his trailer!

Hard skip.

Other websites like AmiAmi or Anime Export may offer lower prices and better shipping costs.

You may want to look into those.

Are the dimensions of the ML figures the same as the originals, or do the new joints make them taller?

I'm looking for a G1-acceptable Grimlock that's bigger than the PoTP voyager but smaller than the SS86 leader.

I am very excited for Grimlock. I am trying to stick to 1 per mold (except Arcee, I don't really care for either), even if I am currently planning to double dip on Magnus. I wonder what repaint they will do with him.

Also, for fun, here is ML Sunstreaker with other contemporary Streakers, an "Ego" if you will

Meant to say repaint of Grimlock, I think these are the only 2 Magnus they do, and if they do a 3rd, it'll be like Sentinel and be a hard to get exclusive

[quote="Kanrabat"]Diaclone Magnus is already on pre-order. But for a 2nd repaint of him? Appart the e-Hobby lemon-yellow clear version, I have no idea.

What's even the lore behind this one? :-?

Following the teaser announcement of Missing Link Grimlock, official product shots have been released along with preorders from many overseas retailers. The photos show off how Takara was able to implement today's expected articulation on yester-years toy as we expected from Missing Link. The photos also reveal that the Dino-Mode also gains some extra elbow articulation, as well as the ability to turn the dino-head and possibly some tail articulation as well. The articulation is incredibly integrated into the new design as highlighted by the side-by-side image shown below.
For accessories, all of the G1 parts are back, including the missal launcher and a now chromed out sword for Grimlock to wield. Grimlock also follows Ultra Magnus in paying homage to his DiaClone roots and includes a Diaclone Driver to finally utilize the cockpit that has always been present on the spine of the T-Rex.

I haven’t bought a Missing Link figure yet but this might be my first.

From some photos, it also looks like the Grimlock robot head is more forward, and doesn't sit back behind the shoulders like with the original toy. It would be fun touch if the head is made to slide forward or back, so you could have the choice looking better, or emulating the original design.
