Transformers Henkei - Deluxe Grimlock

By LobotMan • October 27, 2008

Before the release of the masterpiece Grimlock, lets take a look at the Henkei Grimlock. The Henkei Grimlock is very similar to the Classics Grimlock in terms of sculpt and articulation. The obvious difference is that the Grimlock from the Henkei series is chrome plated while the Classics line is not.

Lets take a look at some of the Henkei Grimlock pictures:

Original Henkei Grimlock

Alternate Mode

As you can see, the Henkei Grimlock looks pretty plain as the panel lines are not inked at all. On to of that, there are certain parts of the figure that contain plastic flashes which sort of hinders transformation and also spoils the look overall look of the figure. Below is an example of the plastic flash.

Before

Thus, I set out to make some minor modification on the figure myself. I inked the panel lines of the figure using both gundam marker and enamel wash. The flashes were removed using my hobby knife, needle file and Tamiya polishing compound.

After

Will try to include some pictures of the modification process in the future if I am doing another Transformers modification.

As Grimlock is pretty busy, Wheeljack decides to help pick up the mess that Grimlock has left behind.

Accessories and Weapon

The Henkei Grimlock comes with a character card, a blade shaped projectile launcher, a projectile, a manual and lastly, a mini comic.

Overall, I love this kit except that there are minor flaws here and there which can be fixed very easily. The articulation for this kit is also pretty decent although the ball joints at the hip area is a little loose. Had an enjoyable time customizing this figure too.

You can check out this amazing figure over at Amazon. Well till the next Transformer review, cya!
