Thanks to 2005 Board member Barricade34 for sharing in our boards our first in-hand images of the recently revealed Studio Series SS-76 Leader Class Grindor & Ravage.
Grindor is a redeco and slight remold of Studio Series SS-08 Leader Class Blackout now featuring some extra rusty/battle damage and tampographs. Blackout has now articulated hands (with double hinge for the fingers and wrist swivel) and a new Ravage figurine. The extra rusty helps to notice some sculpting and details that were not so noticeable in Blackout. Of course, there a side by side comparison pic of the two figures.

My Grindor's arm panels had problems staying tabbed together – sloppy mess – if that's what you're asking.

Mine didn't have loose arms. He was solid

As of late my molds arms have become loose as well, clear nail polish on the shoulder joints should hopefully fix the issue
VVa
Mine aren't loose but they aren't super stable. Besides, floor polish should fix that.

I've gotten a 2nd grindor to see if he had loose limbs and he did , i returned it because i didnt want another loose grindor.

Obvious trolling bump to this thread aside, but I am curious if it is a widespread problem for the Grindor/Blackout mold to have loose arms?

MPM Blackout is $160.
Commanders are $90.

Otherwise.
VVa
No.
Shut up.

Reviving this thread to point out the recently revealed MPM Blackout was definitely a scrapped commander class Grindor lol tell me otherwise
VVa
Fair enough. Lol
I just thought more people would have posed action shots with their copies like with other figures.
And honestly? I'm kind of burnt out on Oversized figures. I'll just use my 07 Voyager Blackout to scale with this guy. And I missed out on the OG SS-BO, and after market prices are a pain. Lmao

Well, I think everything that should have been said about him has already been said.
I guess we came to the conclusion that if you want a properly scaled Grindor with the SS line, go for the OS KO ver. of Blackout. If the scale doesn't bother you, it's still a very good mold, and it comes with a little Ravage and don't have to buy an upgrade kit to fix the hands.
If you didn't get Blackout and/or 2009 legends Ravage , these are good alternatives for both.

Personally, I'm considering buying it just for Ravage and reselling Grindor after, 'cause I already have Blackout with the DNA kit, and for the scale I prefer the OS KO, for the same reason I still don't have a AOE Grimlock xd
VVa
Honestly shocked there's nothing that's been posted about this guy in over 3 weeks. I'm stoked for him, he may have only been in the movie for less than a minute but he's done enough for me to remember him.

Did anyone else order the Grindor from the listing? Did your tracking number work? I think I was given the wrong tracking info
Galaxius84
I ordered one for myself as well a couple days ago (6/23). Lmk when you get yours and which general area you’re in. I’m in the Cincinnati area
OZsket
he's only out at toyworld's and they charge $100 for leaders. Not worth it.
