The new XM Studios Premium Collectibles Grimlock 1/10 Statue brings a very detailed and impressive design that we are sure will please your optics. While being easily recognizable as G1 Grimlock, the design and proportions are very stylized, bringing a fresh modern look to the powerful Dinobot leader.
Now, XM Studios has shown a full color sample of their Grimlock statue at the Singapore Toy, Game & Comic Convention SGCC 2019. Via TransFans we can share for you a nice set of views of the body and details, the base, weapons and the T-Rex Grimlock mini-statue that will be included with this impressive release.
We still have no information on price or release date, but you can check all the images after the jump. Don’t forget to share your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Just finished watching and chatting and here are my highlights.
Alex Thomas, XM Studios' Social Media Manager said if Optimus is big, Grimlock is HUGE.
He's shown with two right arms, for a sword and a mace each, and two left arms, one with his double-barrel blaster.
Size and weight: 105 × 80 × 80 cm, 47 kg. Mini T.rex is 25 × 38 × 17 cm, 1.5 kg.
He's got huge claws on his "wing" in robot mode.
Alex is reading Grimlock's TFWiki intro! Sweet.
If you pause the video at 8:12, there appears to be a face on the lower jaw of his T.rex head which is flipped over his back. Of course it may be just due to the lighting.
Batteries not included due to customs opening boxes if batteries are present.
It will ship in three boxes:
box 1: 82 x 72 cm x 32, 34 kg
box 2: 82 x 62 × 39 cm, 29 kg
box 3: 82 × 52 x 57 cm, 27 kg
Only light up is the eyes. But this is still the prototype and not final.
Someone asked about smaller Transformers statues but Alex said it was not cost-efficient.
Soundwave with his cassettes down the line is also mentioned.
Starscream will have a cape and crown.

I want this so badly but I can't justify paying that much even for something this high quality. I'll just have to admire it in pictures.
er4smiths
man it’s SO tempting. The wait would be murder
Bob 121
I've showed it to quite a few people who don't even know who Grimlock is and they think it would be quite the centerpiece.
er4smiths
Ok cool I see those now. Man you’re making me want to do the same! This thing is titanically awesome
It would be the center piece of any Grimlock fan collection

Just a quick Google search for "xm studios grimlock" and the first 3 results for me are:
gemmint.store for $1709+$320 shipping
specfictionshop for $1709 but shipping isn't estimated
heroes-collectibles for $1699 and either $300 or $680 shipping depending on if you want economy or not.
I'm thinking of pulling the trigger at the last one tonight.

Every site I’ve seen is around what I quoted.
Which sites are you finding it for $2000?
Albeit $2000 or $2400 is still a lot of dough

So I just watched a review for Optimus and I'm so disappointed, purely because of one thing that makes no sense.
Why the HELL are we still popping in tinyass button batteries on a $1700 product? Could they seriously not include a goddamn adapter for an outlet? Do they honestly expect people to go reach around and flip like 8 tiny switches for every statue with LEDs? What a travesty.

Where are you getting this price from? There's like 3 or 4 sites that have him for just around $1700 with $300 for shipping to the US.

I\'m not digging this, but as a chug collector this also isn\'t for me, and I\'m glad the dedicated audience seems to be enjoying it! my main gripe is it doesn\'t scream grimlock to me, grim had a very iconic…. shape? he always sort of looked like a banana with a very square dinosaur head. I\'m not saying we can\'t have realistic designs, my description is very much g1 oriented, and i will say the colors are spot frickin on, but personally unless this was set beside other TF statues id assume it was just a robot dinosaur, not specifically Grim. he seems like a complimentary piece, not one I think you\'d get by itself.
