"Your light sabers will make a fine addition to my collection."
―General Grievous
KSZ “ultra build” figure of General Grievous (GG) really do make a fine addition to my bootleg toy collection. The box is much bigger than the similar ultra builds of Jango Fett, Comm. Cody and even Vader. Price is also “bigger”.
GG is completely cybernetic except for his brain, some vital organs, and parts of his head, As George Lucas says, GG is sort of 20% alien and 80% robot, hence this actually makes the build almost resembles the actual character as GG is skeletal like with armor pads as body.
The figure is close to a foot tall (30cm), to match this Kaleesh cyborg's real physical form which towers at 2.16 meters and weigh 159 kg. With piece count at over 200 pcs, it is an interesting build. Comes with four “glow in the dark” light sabers

Due to the heavy top portion of the figure, it is quite hard to stand the figure in certain poses as some of the joints are quite loose. I believe ori Lego will have better ball joints, but still due to the figure’s center of gravity, it can easily toppled. With a high price tag, KSZ should include more “body pads” to cover the back portion to make it look better when viewed from the back. No cape included for us to cover up the back either.(GG in combat mode do not wear any cape). Anyway, still an Awesome figure - for display, not for play!
Previous Grievous is not so fabulous
ReplyDeleteI read from other reviews that the ball joint for this set is bad. Is it really very loose?
ReplyDeleteHave encounter worse ball joints. The joints still can support the weight, but believe if we keep on moving the joints for different poses during play, it will get loose. The internet have a few tricks that teaches us how to fix loose ball joints. Actually, it is the other non ball C or U joints that is loose. Just be careful when we twist those joints.
DeleteJust got the set. The arm joints are ok. Those C or U joints directly after the ball joints at the legs are the one getting loose rather than the ball joints. Can live with this as mainly for display purpose. Original may be good, but "Money Not Enough"
