The toy, that will be released on the 1st July 2011, has a retail price of 3800? and is 140mm tall, has 19 joints and was sculpted by Yuki Ohshima. The site confirms that the gun is made from five parts, that he comes with four optional hands, 1 blade and a name plate. Its also confirmed that the figure will have a metallic coating and will be built with a heavy / solid feel in mind to help reproduce being a giant robot.
TFormers are running a story they picked up on at the SDCC involving a possible Revoltech release for Grimlock and Soundwave.
When asked about any future Transformers characters in Kaiyodo's
Revoltech line, Organic Hobby hinted Soundwave
and Grimlock in a casual conversation at this past
weekend's San Diego Comic-Con 2008.
OF cause this could just be characters they'd like to do, but stay tuned for more information when it comes in.
