    It'd be amazing if Hot Toys not only did the Grievous from ROTS and the 2008 Clone Wars series, but also the Grievous from the 2003 Clone Wars series.

    Felt like I was holding my breath throughout the video, seems like such an urban myth the issues collectors seem to have had with this figure😮 delighted that it has arrived safe and well with no issues…touch wood, I honestly think now that you have him in a pose you like you should just leave him alone as is and enjoy his undoubted shelf presence! I know that you will be careful around about him, like yo say he looks so delicate and prone to breakage , but left alone in a detolf with no bumps he does look wicked and imposing, well done on getting him safely set up👍 even though I was in fear of mishaps I did enjoy the video😂and as always I am looking forward to whatever may be up next on the channel, stay well👍

      I was quite tentative with the figure just in a case it wasn’t as robust as I thought it would/should be! But yeah a safe arrival with no issues!! Was careful not to belittle other collectors complaints about this figure as I know there have been some horror stories but for me it was pretty much perfect 😊 Apols for putting you through the stress of potential mishaps! Must admit when he was free-standing I was thinking if he topples over here something well *definitely* break!! 😬🤪 Thanks for watching Andrew, much appreciated as always!! 😀👍🏻

    Had the exclusive original release with battle damage portrait. Four arms were fine but two arms never would hold a pose at all. This is the updated version so I think things got fixed. Yes Hot Toys will definitely do one. Sold mine so will be ready when that bad boy goes up for pre order!

    I bought the 2.0 version when it came out. I understand the complains on this figure. Since it is a 2.0 version and Sideshow did almost nothing to improve it, although they had so much feedback and complaints on the first version. But having said that and seeing the first reviews and complaints during release, I must say i still love this figure!! Yes he is not sturdy and could definitely use some metal parts but when you take your time posing him up this guy definitely rocks and has major shelve precense!
    I got him next to Dooku, Jango and CW Maul and they look awesome together! Cant wait to add the battle droids on that shelve !!
    Great review

    • @TK421Collectibles
      @TK421Collectibles  Před rokem +1

      Yeah agreed, would be better to have used some diecast parts for the legs and to add a bit of weight and balance. And you’re totally correct I think it just takes a bit patience to pose him right and then he does look super imposing on the shelf! I like the sound of how you have him displayed👍🏻 Thanks for watching mate! 😅

    Well this is our only option for a 1/6 Grevious.
    I've heard some horror storied about extremely loose joints. Vids of Grevious figures that can't lift their arms because of loose joints.
    He's a nice looking figure but I don't want to risk being unlucky and getting a bad one. Glad this one worked out for you mate.

    Wow, and lately I've been looking at taking the risk on getting this guy, what excellent timing!
    Grevious is one of my favorite star wars characters so seeing him in sixth scale form to go with the rest of my collection is immensely tempting. I just wish it wasn't plagued with issues or at least have a higher likelyhood of something being wrong with it.

      Yeah like you he’s one of my favourite villains so really wanted him represented in my sixth scale collection!

    I wonder if there are things inside that translucent organ sac. It looks like there are actual internal organs inside that thing which is both cool and creepy at the same time. I haven't seen people take apart this figure to remove the organ sac and then see what's in there.🟢

    I got the version 1.0 as someone sold it cheap after getting version 2. I believe the initial release of the 2,0 still had a lot of joint issues and then Sideshow gave additional joints to replace them. I believe yours is the improved one mate which came later . The version 1.0 had issues with articulation but I strengthen the joints to mitigate it. They do look good in the shelf ,that's true. . But sincerely I believe Sideshow cheeped out on the 2.0. The could have made the figure bottom heavy like the K2so of hot toys. Anyhow, a Star Wars display without Grevious for me just lacks something...Another awesome video mate ! Cheers

    • @TK421Collectibles

      Aaanyway! Yeah I understand the reluctance to get this figure tbh! It’s not perfect by any stretch, and I’m guessing I lucked out a bit considering it had no issues or floppy limbs (at the moment anyway!) which a lot of other collectors seem to experience, even with this 2.0 release. You’ll have to let me know if you do go for it!! Thanks for watching 😀👍🏻

  • @OdinAnon
    @OdinAnon Před rokem

    Got a few thoughts on this one, First of all, thanks for taking the time to make the video, I know it can be hard work making youtube vids. I saw this figure twice on display in a store, the first time was the original issue and the second time was the re-issue. The first one I saw was a mess, it was just floppy joints hanging on a stand like a drunk spider and it looked so plasticy, I also remember seeing way less weathering than yours. The second time I looked and the new one said "Re-issue" so I took a loser look, assuming it was more stable and was intrigued to see if it was any different, as I remember the weathering was better and it looked more stable but still slumped and looked like it would easily fall down without a stand. I was surprised to see the chrome lightsabers on that and again with yours because I can't think of another figure I've seen with them. I think if you love this character the re-issue is a great buy from what i've seen.... if it stays stable over time. Me, personally though, I feel this suffers from a fatal flaw aside from the potential for the floppy limbs, I think, inherently it will always look very toy-like because they are using plastic to create bone or whatever he's made out of and that design looks plasticy in it's self so no matter what figure people make of Grievous it will always look more like a toy than any human or metal looking droid character. That's just my opinion but I'm also of the opinion that high quality 1/6 scale figures like hot toys, sideshow, three zero and so on. The goal of those figures is to recreate a character in 1/6 scale in the most life like and realistic portrayal as possible and certain characters unfortunately don't lend them selves to that very well.

    • @TK421Collectibles
      @TK421Collectibles  Před rokem

      “…. hanging on a stand like a drunk spider…” haha love it! 🤣 Yeah I can see what you’re saying tho, I’ve seen photos where he does look super plasticy and likes you say this does make him look very “toy-like” rather than a mid-to-high end collectible. I think the weathering on this one just about saves it for me, plus again like you say I really loved the character so i admit it makes me a little biased 😅 But yeah you make some great points and can see why the figure is not for everyone. Thanks for watching mate, really appreciate your comment 😀👍🏻

      @@TK421Collectibles Something I was curious about too, in the ball joints, are they screws? Because if they are then I don't see why you couldn't just tighten them if it gets loose. Yeah the one I saw was so loosey goosey it was like skeleton with a pearl necklace for arms. Glad you like the revision version though, maybe that's all it needed was a little update to get it right. I think if I was a big fan of the character I would be pretty made up with it. I will give it this though, it definitely has shelf presence.

    Well thank you for sharing bud, when I heard Sideshow were to release him I was quite happy. But when I found out there was no improved body with the joints I did not bother with a order. Then started seeing Reviews and it turned me right off. I love Grievous and was even thinking of getting a statue. Looking at your one it dont seem to bad, and even so there are ways to stiffen up joints. ( not that should be the case considering how much figures cost these days). Well I think the boat has passed for me with this figure what with the preorders I have to pay off lol.
