Ehhhhhhhhh..... It's okay.... wrong shade of green though.

I also get a weird leatherboy leprechaun vibe.

Gristle was never a favorite character of mine. He seemed like a Dreadnok wannabee to me.

S'funny you say that, since I do have a Dreadnok with that head... :lol:

As for this figure I wish he didn't have a sun-tan and he might've looked better in black with silver highlights.

The more I look at this figure, the less impressed I am.

When was Gristle's hair ever pink? He was a blonde.

I guess at least it's not Master Collector gray.

Kind of a dirty blonde, could be brown I guess.

Still, the new one needs a headswap.

Gristle was blonde in his animated appearance, but the original figure very definitely had brown hair.

Here he is in the DiC cartoon "The Greatest Evil"

Can't say I'm a huge fan of his toon look. The head looks nothing like him...

Hmmm... like say the rumored "CLAW Mech" that was supposed to come out?

what the hell?

that looks friggin' awesome! I'd have bought one. :-/

why'd that get canned when there were a couple other mechs in the line? (or was it planned later release thing?)

P.S. That Gristle is not an improvement over the original.

It was a later release thing...most of it was going to utilize the Pulverizer tooling, possibly with just a new arm, but it was slated for the Robot Rebellion line, which never came to fruition.

edit: by that i mean other unreleased robot rebellion stuff (not in the 2.5" sigma six scale)

If I recall correctly, there was also supposed to be a Defense Mech redeco/retool in tan w/Dusty as the pack in.
