It feels like we've been waiting far too long for a good General Grievous action figure. And while the Bandai Star Wars model has it's limitations, mostly in just how much you can crank on it, I find myself thinking that we may never see a better version in 6 inch form. Bold words? Maybe...

Aw, thanks guys, it's just something that's kind of developed over the years, most of the time it comes out by accident. Ironically they go on the shelf in mostly vanilla poses but that's mostly to save space. Someday....Robo Compound.

I was all for this kit until I saw the price on Amazon. $60? That's more than a Gundam Master Grade, models with full inner frames, bigger, and with way more intricate parts than this. That's an insane price Bandai. But I would be lying if I said I didn't want it still.

Great job on the review, you captured all the stuff that blew me away that I've been trying to explain! First model kit with an action feature, that feature, standing!! I have that Disney elite figure too, took a bandai action stand to get him to stand in just a basic static stance, and the bastard still fell over! This thing stands almost like a Weeble! Its hard to find a pose you can't make work. I painted up his organs, few different base colors, some blood wash and gloss, came out nice! I almost cried when I got the torso together and couldn't see the slightest bit of them. I took a picture at least to prove I wasted my time. A little weathering and the saber hilts painted, it looks like a shrunk down Hot Toys figure, I can't stop staring/posing/playing. Now we gotta convince Rickhor 409 to tackle that cloak lol

Pretty awesome model-kit. I think it scales better with the SHF SW figures than initially expected because I don't see Bandai releasing this as an SHF for a decent price. Grievous was one of my favorite characters in the prequels...which may be faint praise but like Darth Maul, I think everytime he was on screen the movies were better for it. I think the cape is actually quite good, but it's in serious need of some weathering. To anyone that has ever built a MG Gundam model kit, it's no surprise this turned out this cool.

My dad actually got this for my birthday, and I remember getting so stressed and frustrated about putting the pieces together. I tried to follow the instructions, but it was a bit hard for me. It also didn’t help that the language was in Japanese/Chinese and that only some sentences had English in it. Even though I’m part Japanese and understand how to speak some simple words in that language. Like, I know how to speak dog, cat, car, etc in Japanese. I used to speak Japanese pretty well when I was younger, I think. But I forgot how to speak most Japanese words as I got older (I’m 14 now). I think it’s because I was exposed to English a lot more. I only know a few Japanese words now, for some reason. Anyway, I ended up with a not-so-good Grievous. I was starting off good, but soon, the instructions was becoming a bit challenging. My dad was at work and my mom left to go shopping, so I didn’t have anyone to help me. Eventually, after some time struggling, I broke a few pieces in a fit of rage and started crying. I had anger issues, but I’m good now. I was like, 11 or 12 when this happened, I think. I felt guilty since my dad brought it and he basically wasted the money for nothing. One of Grievous’ ear pieces broke off eventually since those pieces were pretty fragile and could break easily.

I just got this figure and finished it and yea, that part with the neck was a pain to put together. But nothing will compare to putting the lego technic bugatti together, which involved putting the front chassis and back chassis together after being built. Also the figure is awesome with or without paint. Great video!!!!!

I watched your video and bought this. Took 2 months to arrive. The neck/collar piece peg you talked about took me about a half hour to get and I had to take it apart twice. Outside of that I love this! He looks great on the shelf. I’m curious to see how Figuarts and BS ones look like when they finally come out.

It's been a while since I shot this so I don't remember if I mentioned it, but I had pretty much the same experience with that dang neck. Once that fell into place, love!

Visually Grievous is IMO one of the best, if not the best, looking character in the whole Star Wars Universe. The whole concept of his character is just awesome. I have the Hasbro Black Series. My sole complaint is there aren't ball joints at the ankles like this one has. Other than that it's one of my favorite figures.

If you guys are looking for tips on building the figure you can always use nail clippers they worked so well when I built my Bandai grievous and I’m just 11 years old none of the pieces even broke

So excited to get mine. I had that one part of my mind when starting the review that it might be horrible but im glad that I was wrong. Btw how is the stand that comes with him?
@TheFwoosh
@TheFwoosh 7 жыл бұрын
It's not that great. It doesn't actually clip to him, from what I can tell. He just kind of leans back into it. I didn't need it for any of my poses except the stretched out running and the mid-air, and I have a better stand for that. The figure stands great.

Great review buddy, Im not overly sold on it though, something about model kits puts me off and I don't know why, I'm really hoping S.H. Figuarts brings a decent version out, thank you for the Battle Droid comparison that makes me think I should get him as a 'Just in case' figure.... P.s love that your committed to the models with ur 5am curfew i actually ran over my dinner at work because I was watching this review lol

You know, all Bandai model plastic is polystyrene, so if you buy a bottle of Tamiya Ultra-Thin Plastic Cement, you can easily apply it to the finicky parts that pop off so that they never do so again! The stuff works better than any glue since it dissolves and welds the plastic parts together on contact, thus making a better, more long-lasting bond.
