It only took a few series, but now we have a tiny super-deformed dinosaur. Grimlock Tyrannosaurus Rex from Blokees is not their first dino kit- the Galaxy series has had several. Dumping out the sack of parts felt like I was getting away with something, thanks to multi-part legs, tiny arms, and internal supports that made this one a wholly different build than your normal humanoid android.
I got the regular one. There are also two chase versions - one has an apron! I'm happy with the standard release, a 2 1/2-inch tall guy that shows they could probably do a lot more monster toys. I don't know if this is a tooling investment that will necessarily pay off, but I suppose there are other versions of Grimlock they could do in future series as well.

Despite all the parts, he has about 10 points of articulation plus an opening jaw. The pivot waist joint gives him some personality, and the ball-jointed ankles work really well at this scale. His arms were somewhat hard to install - they click in place. One of them was extremely challenging to get to click, while the other was pretty simple. The waist joint also easily pops off, so be careful with that too.
Deco matches the cartoon with bright yellows and blue eyes. I'm a little unsure why his back is red - but hey, it looks fine. The tail is all one color, a departure from the cartoon, and he has a tampo on his robot chest/dinosaur lower waist that is specific to the Studio Series smoky dark chest window. It's an odd choice when it could have been left smooth and blank - perhaps we're being set up for yet another combiner later somehow. It feels like they took a lot more liberties with the design, and while it doesn't look bad it does lead me to wonder what the Hasbro approval process is like and when do they say "hey, change this one color will you?"
He has no accessories, but who cares? It's a cheap off-model robot t-rex from a beloved 1980s toy line/cartoon/pajama property. Blokees Defender figures have been turning out well and this is a great sign they might have a lot of waves of goodies left before they run out of good ideas. Plus I assume Shattered Glass, a few G2 recolors, and maybe some other ideas might be on the horizon for the mold. It would be a shame if we didn't get "Big Grim," after all.
