Before I get to the last two mystery figures that arrived recently In a trade I completed with Orniphus ,lets go over this gem of an extra!Orniphus was kind enough to throw this Transformers Robots In Disguise Grimlock figure in with the rest of the agreed figures ,and I'm really digging It.He must have read my post on the  smaller Grimlock that I picked up a while back. I was pretty disappointed with that one ,so Orniphus really looked out here !Now,I've read some reviews and seen some videos on Grims here,  and the figure gets mixed reactions.I for one am not big on the Robots In Disguise series or line of figures ,but this one I love.I believe this Is a deluxe sized figure ,but In no way does he fit into scale with others In his same size class.I didn't catch It at first,but Orniphus pointed out to me that this version would actually look better next to my Generations Optimus and smaller scaled TF's in my collection.And,to coin the great Ned Flanders "Hey-Diddly...

Then I thought about It a little more and decided,hey what the heck,he does have the G1 color going for him,so I changed my tune and ultimately snagged him up.It was  also on sale for like three bucks so why not.The big disappointment came after taking him out of his packaging and seeing how dinky he looke...
