This is a TF Source video review of Takara Tomy Masterpiece MP-8X King Grimlock
When Masterpiece Grimlock reached the hands of collectors in mid 2009, choirs of praise rang forth from all who were lucky enough to possess him. However, one accessory that was initially promised was not present: Grimlock's crown. The Grimlock crown was featured in the Generation 1 Transformers comic series when Grimlock took over leadership of the Autobots and to many Grimlock fans is a quintessential moment for the character. TakaraTomy has finally legitimized this facet of Grimlock's history by releasing a brand new deco of MP-08 with a new designation of MP-08X. This, along with Black Ehobby Convoy and the upcoming Ghost Masterpiece Starscream, represent a new trend in creating Masterpiece line exclusives as variations of initial releases.
Dubbed "King Grimlock", MP-08X is a perplexing repaint that many collectors have considered an un-necessary addition to the line, especially with an asking price of over $200! After this review, you may be thinking twice about questioning he who wears the crown
The Transformers fan community has a lot of trouble agreeing on anything, but if you looked at various top-tens of the year, Masterpiece Grimlock topped almost all of the lists and with good reason. The Masterpiece line has been making our childhood dreams come true by creating incredibly detailed and posable renditions of classic characters. It seemed impossible to improve upon Masterpiece Grimlock, but this wild repaint does just that. Take what is debatably the best new figure of the year and give it a shiny premium paint job, add a crowd, and you now have the greatest example of everyone's favorite Dinobot head honcho ever. King Grimlock took a lot of collectors by surprise and with the initial pricetag, Many will never even get a chance to compare King Grimlock to the original. Comic book fashioned redecos are a new concept to Transformers that seemed a bit off at first, but after seeing the first execution, it will be interesting to see if comic book versions of Megatron or Starscream may see the light of day. King Grimlock will not be for everyone but those that are willing to pay a little extra to check out a very unique version will not be disappointed.
