FansToys FT-08 Grinder (MP Grimlock)

[Maz]

It’s been almost three years since the first release of FansToys’ first Iron Dibot, Scoria, but the series is finally completed with Iron Dibot No.5, FT-08 Grinder. The leader of the group has been probably the most contentious as there already exist a few options that collectors have been using to display a full collection of five heroic transforming dinosaur robots. The original Takara Masterpiece is still a beauty and has been reissued a number of times. Then there’s the oversized and arguably improved 3rd party re-tool of it called Reximus Prime. Is there still a place for a $200 figure that’s so close to what’s already on the market?

Thanks Maz.
This May, I will pick the whole line up in metallic colors.
I have Scoria and red and blue versions of Swoop (for sale gentlemen) but the metallic finish is bringing a better balance imo.
Only the T-Rex Head is bugging me a bit... It's fine but Takara mold digg better the old feelings from the cartoon.
I will finally get the dinobot I always wanted (lurking the G1 when I was kid... Too expensive)
