Well after waiting forever these finally showed up. Thanks to a friend I also got Hordak. They really need to just let people buy what ever ones they want over at Super 7. The whole " Have to buy a set before you can buy singles" is not a good practice in my opinion.

^^^
at first i was like....oh that's cool
then i saw it was actually Grievous...that's bad ass right there.

Does this\he have a story someplace?? or is this just like a one off concept art type thing.
He was one of several "bad-guy" characters that were either underutilized or never reached their full potential

From what I know of this figure it was based off artwork for General Grevious in his original special body.

There was a backstory as to the Separatists deliberately organising for him to be so injured he'd need the surgery and mechanical body to survive.

Grievous, the most over hyped, underwhelming Star Wars character of all time. He made Darth Maul look like Darth Vader.

plus he suffered from emphysema...

If only Grevious was portrayed in ROTS like he was in the Genndy Tartakovsky Clone Wars series. He was an actual threat in that instead of a joke.

Totally agree. Grevious was very well done in the cartoon and comics. The ROTS movie made him look lame.

En Sabah Nerd · 03-09-2018, 05:50 PM

Man back before RotS came out I was totally aboard the Grievous hype train. He was badass in the GT cartoon, he looked pretty cool, the comics also made him seem like he would be a scary dude. Then the movie came out and I hopped off the train so hard that it broke something. He was such a cartoon-like villain in the movie and then it only got turned to 11 when the Filoni Clone Wars made him a literal Saturday morning cartoon villain (or Friday night, whatever). I do think that his updated origin for the new canon makes more sense though.

Red Requiem arrived today:

Also, they put an English dub on the BD.

**Sports figure

NY METS pitcher Noah Syndergaard, his nickname is Thor. (Mets fan)
This is huge cause they never made Sports figures with articulation and finally this comes out. when i saw the articulation it was an instant buy. before this you had to settle for bobbleheads or small statues only. should be here next week. pics coming soon and with a good camera from now on

SpasticPlastic · 03-10-2018, 07:27 AM

Hopefully his joints are tight. Would hate for even the plastic version of him to have to spend half the season on the DL.

Tomax · 03-10-2018, 09:18 AM

haha, very true. are you a Mets fan? if so, thats Awesome!

SpasticPlastic · 03-10-2018, 11:37 AM

No, I'm not. Have disliked them since the Gooden/ Strawberry era.

Tomax · 03-10-2018, 12:03 PM

ohh ok, never mind, you seemed like you knew about them

I've never understood this whole culture, I only ever saw him in the movie and am pretty indifferent towards it.

I remember in the 90’s when Boba Fett was everyone’s favorite, I asked a friends brother why, he went on to explain what a bad ass he was and all this stuf he he had done and this long back story, and some tale of how he got out of the pit after Jedi.... all I ever knew was he looked cool, appeared for like 3total minutes on film, had like two lines, and screamed like a little girl when his jet pack malfunctioned... it’s hard to keep track of what’s “official” now days. I stick to screen myself, if I didn’t see it it didn’t happen.

redfox · 03-10-2018, 01:24 PM

Got a nice little haul for all under 15 dollars. Picked up the vintage Black Widow for $5 at Walgreen's, and then scored Spider-woman for $7 at Books-A-Million.

I can relate to that somewhat. Although some of the expanded universe stuff comforted me after the Sarlacc incident. They did Boba dirty in that movie.

Supposedly the reason George Lucas had Boba go out like a weenie is because he originally wanted the trilogy to be nine movies, and Boba would've been the big bad of the second 3-parter. Once he realized he wouldn't be able to do that he wrote him off (very poorly I might add!)

LordMudd · 03-10-2018, 03:32 PM

I found this guy yesterday. Not impressed with the rest of the line, but he will make a cool child ghost. One more for Monster Mash 2018.

CCC.

Dreadnox · 03-10-2018, 07:15 PM

Away for awhile so catching up here by posting mail drops and finds for the last month - looking through the posts missed and want to say congrats to all on some very nice stuff - sadly its been slim finding anything here in my area since Christmas - the toy aisles are looking dismal but seeing all these new items such as Marvel legends posted has me hopeful

Passed on this before but $15 bucks at TRU decided to bite

Cant find Spider Punk or Mysterio anywhere

For $4 bucks on TRU clearance I thought this made a good display piece
