Author	Topic: Official General Grievous Fanclub

	By gods, people throughout the internet are talking about our boy Grievous again!! HE LIVES!! I am really hoping for some jedi/Grievous smackdown in this new Clone Wars movie and series. And perhaps a little Asajj/ Grievous smackdown as well. Please ,please please, at least one tiny kaleesh flashback...for me George?? Biddybot, thanks for the links. I just got through scrutinizing the new figure and I have to say that I am half pleased. Of course, I will plunk down my sheckles at the local WAL-mart when it comes out because I collect Grievous, but something about this figure looks off. Hopefully you are correct and it is a prototype, cause that paint job looks a bit rushed.And the chest looks squished, and the neck has extra bits that dont belong... -----signature----- Slave of General Grievous, his fan club, and washer of the soulless one.

	Thanks for the links, Biddybot! I agree, something does seem a little off on the figure...his eyes seem blank to me, there's no life to them, see, I like when they have the close ups like in the movie where they show his eyes and you can see the anger and the rage(I know it's probably hard to capture that in a figure, but it has always bothered me...oh well, I'm probably over analyzing it again. ) I personally think the figure looks good, it captures the cartoon version well plus they tried to make it look live action realistic...I might buy it. And that thread said that there might not be alot of Grievous in it, that they are going to focus on Ventress more(I'm not a big Ventress fan, but she is a good character though), I want to see more Grievous and like karabbackilla said I think they should do like a flashback to his earlier life and his transformation. There is alot of potential for this to do well and and alot of potential for this to fail as well...I'm optimistic that it will do well and I hope it lives up to oue expectations. -----signature----- ~hopeless member of the Official General Grievous fanclub~ VP of the Chewie fanclub Be thankful, Viceroy...you have not found yourself in my grip!

	Bah, Ventress. She has roles in several comics and on top of that, novels. Grievous needs the extra character developement...and so does that Devlikk hobo in the corner. And the dolphin mumsy with a bouffant. Hey Kara, don't you have new Grievous art up on deviantart? karabbackilla posted: extra bits that dont belong...

	Well, the trailer for the Clone Wars movie came out today. You can watch it here There's lots of Asajj Ventress, but I didn't see any Grievous at all. Maybe somebody with quicker eyes can correct me, but the General seemed to be absent -----signature----- "Are my eyes really that far apart?

	Yeah, I didn't see Grievous either, but it still looks good so I'll probably go see it...I wonder though, Anakin's hair looks a bit shorter than it did in ROTS, maybe this takes place a few years before those events and Grievous hasn't been really involved yet(just a speculation on my part)...I'm sure we'll see him later on when the series comes out(although it would have been awesome to see him on the big screen again!) -----signature----- ~hopeless member of the Official General Grievous fanclub~ VP of the Chewie fanclub Be thankful, Viceroy...you have not found yourself in my grip!

	I spotted Grievous! He's around the 1:00 mark, in the background nearly. How disappointing. -----signature----- A member of the Official General Grievous Fanclub since 6/04/06 Also a member of the Official Anakin Skywalker fanclub And a member of the Official Darth Vader fanclub

	Just a quick heads-up for toy collectors... 1. The Star Wars characters keychain collection that Walmart was selling back around Christmas is back in our local stores right now, this time available as individual figures! $2.92 in Canada...are being sold out of one of those special-fit display cases they tend to stick at the end of aisles to tempt impulse buyers. The case I saw looked to be freshly opened and had at least two Grievous figures in it. Still one of the cutest versions of Grievous out there IMO and is so base-heavy and stable that he makes for a perfect little car buddy figurine to stand in your recessed instrument well or other similar shelf-like nook. (Yes, I bought another one just for the car, I admit it.) Or you can hang him from the mirror...your choice! 2. The first of the new Clone Wars figurines are being readied for sale soon and the following link has a pic of what to look for in the stores, including the new CW/Grievous. I'd have to see this figure in person first before deciding whether I like it or not...still looks a tad odd to me, but then, so did the first CW/Grievous figure. http://www.potf2.com/potj/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=13377 More about the movie...preview stuff about it is now appearing over at the rottentomatoes.com site. One line in the little synopsis provided made me smile: 'Sinister villains – led by Palpatine, Count Dooku and General Grievous – are poised to rule the galaxy.' Heh! Grievous referred to as a leader right up there with Dooku and Palpatine...gotta love it!

	I lost my mini Grievous over a year ago D: I say one for 10 (!!!) dollars at CIV. I hope they stock Grievous keychains around here. In other words, I found this fanart of Qymaen that is very well-done. -----signature----- "It might destroy me, but I'd sacrifice my body If it meant I'd get the Utaj part out!"

	Here's another Grievous figurine now out especially for you Lego-lovers (scroll down through the entire thread for pics)... http://threads.rebelscum.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=3168638&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=93&fpart=1#3168638 Lego figures aren't really to my taste, but I must admit it's one of the more impressive ones I've seen. Even more impressive are some of the custom creations Lego builders come up, including the really gorgeous Invisible Hand in the following thread (one that's fun to read as well as look at...the builder in this case seems to be quite the card)... http://mocpages.com/moc.php/45623 Y'know, Grievous might not have been portrayed in the most flattering way in ROTS, but you've gotta admit that "Dracula-droid" nonetheless got to play with some pretty cool technology. Not too many SW characters come equipped with a flagship, a personal ground vehicle and a personal fighter that they can call all their own.

	July 26th is when the figurines (and probably a lot of other movie stuff) go on sale.
