Directly from third-party manufacturer GigaPower’s Facebook page, we’ve got brand new, fully-painted shots of the Masterpiece-styled GigaPower Grassor, their take on the venerated Dinobot Slag.
These pictures depict the upcoming chrome version of the figure, but as with their previous release, they will have both a metallic and chrome version of this figure available for purchase. We also have a look at some of the accessories available with Grassor, including both a black and red-colored head with different facial expressions, his iconic sword and blaster, along with dual missile launchers and clear plastic covers for his dino-mode head and tail to replicate the look of the original G1 figure. Lastly, the entire figure features chrome parts and is almost completely painted from head to toe with one of the most impressive paint jobs ever available.
Click through to see all of the amazing pictures they have provided for us. This guy is a true beast and as you can see, he is massive and undeniably a worthy addition to anyone’s Masterpiece collection.

I have the chrome HQ-02R version I'd part with, BUT only in trade for the non-chrome HQ-02 version, with the caveat that mine has also suffered a BSF tail break. I would be happy to throw cash on top of the deal to offset that, on the off chance anyone is interested. Definitely not interested in selling outright.

That's unfortunate. I thought them putting a price meant that these were finally about to release

This was Abby's response when I asked about it very recently.

I really, really, REALLY wish the metallic reissue came with the silver horns.

It seems the reissue might actually be coming this year, as stores changed the price from unknown to a set amount. Showz is even sold out, but you can still get it from Bombusbee.

Looking for a metallic Grassor if anyone is looking to move one

I have one with a finger in backwards. I’m guessing their assembly team is not up to Fanstoys standards. That said, I thing Giga Dinobots are still the best looking MP version out there.

I ordered a used Chrome Grassor from Ebay a few months ago, only to discover that his upper thighs were assembled incorrectly in the factory. (They were switched.) I had to take apart the upper legs from the hip joint to the knee joint and switch the thighs to the correct positions. (I'm not sure the seller even noticed this. The lower half was in alt mode when it arrived.) Fortunately, all the ratchets and joints survived the surgery perfectly intact. Has anyone else come across this manufacturing error?

Got a full chrome giga dinobots set, all new only opened to inspect. DM me if interested!

I don't suppose anyone have the clear covers on the gold circle on the hindlegs, they are willing to part with?

sold mine months ago. they had some scratches and still got a decent price for them and there was tons of interest.

Do we think there'll be a reissue of the metallic versions since slag and snarl are up for preorder on showz? I have those 2 preordered, but my OCD demands I have a set that matches.
Edit: Made this comment before refreshing and seeing the comment above me. Reissues seem unlikely at this point then and I gotta bite the after market bullet it seems
If anyone is willing to sell their HQ-02R and HQ-03R (looking for like new condition) feel free to DM me.

Not sure of any reissues. They're pretty old and have already been reissued a couple of times. Gigapower doesn't even make any transformers related products anymore and they don't offer aftersales services anymore.

they have been very pricey for a long time. i don't know if there is a reissue planned or not.

I've been living under a rock for years and wasn't aware of the GigaPower Dinobots. (I mostly just collect beast wars, but love anything dino). I was able to snag Grimlock(HQ-01R) and Swoop(HQ-05R) on ebay this morning for very fair prices, and thinking of getting sludge(HQ-04R) on BBTS. Currently trying to find Slag(HQ-02R) and Snarl(HQ-03R), but they are PRICEY. Is it safe to assume well get a reissue of the chrome versions of those 2?
What I'd really love is have them all in the weathered versions, but not sure if the other 3 will ever come out.
magmatron
I heard how beautiful these were, but finally holding it in hand I'm blown away.

Has anyone here tried painting the alternative red face silver?
StrangeAeons
you could just paint the knees silver yourself. man i want Grassor with chrome thighs like in that pic, would have been awsome

I stand corrected. I thought the upper legs were full silver
