The undisputed king of the Dinobots is stomping his way back into the vinyl collectible arena and this time, he’s staying in his favorite form. Funko has officially opened pre-orders for the brilliant Funko Pop! Retro Toys #179: The Transformers: The Movie – Grimlock (Dino Mode) vinyl figure!
While old-school collectors will fondly remember the humanoids from their older convention drops, this gorgeous 40th-anniversary celebration wave features an entirely brand-new mold that lets Grimlock proudly display his prehistoric power.
A Screen-Accurate Tribute to the 1986 Animated Classic
Standing at the classic Pop! vinyl height of approximately 3.75 inches tall, this figure steps entirely out of robot mode to capture Grimlock’s full Tyrannosaurus Rex silhouette. The sculpt functions as a gorgeous love letter to the original Sunbow animation cel layouts and classic Generation One toy ethics.
The attention to G1 detail is exceptionally satisfying for longtime fans:
- The Chrome Dinosaur Shell: Features his unmistakable metallic silver-grey armored dinosaur head, complete with black nostril stamps and rows of sharp mechanical teeth.
- The Translucent Amber Torso: His front chest plate is molded in a beautiful, rich amber-gold shade that proudly showcases the internal mechanical detailing and a pristine Autobot insignia printed squarely right in the center.
- Chunky Retractable Wings: The rear of the figure flawlessly incorporates his split robot-mode chest plates, folded back beautifully to resemble short dinosaur wings.
- Classic Cartoon Deco: From his thick black cybernetic thighs down to the red waist trim and custom tech decals stamped on his feet, the paintwork is completely optimized to match the 1986 cinematic color palette.
Part of an Unmissable 40th Anniversary Wave
As unveiled by the team at TFW2005, the dinosaur king does not drop alone. Grimlock anchors a massive, nostalgic anniversary wave designed entirely to honor the characters who held down the frontlines of the classic movie, allowing Autobot fans to collect the full vintage crew:
- Optimus Prime (Dynamic jumping pose with Ion Blaster)
- Grimlock (Dino Mode)
- Prowl
- Wheeljack
- Mirage
