Well there you go then. Good news for the huge throng of Grievous fans I guess. I imagine most will likely be very happy with this news.
You know, I find it interesting to see just how hugely popular Grievous has become far in advance to people even seeing the character in action in the film proper, seems his popularity is largely based on the
idea of the character more than anything else at this point. Me, I'm still waiting to see how well, or not, the actual character works in the context of the film, but for whatever reason I've just never fallen for the Grievous hype thus far.
I mean for me the design is fine, but it doesn't blow me away or anything, the idea of the character is fine, but again it doesn't strike me special or overly excite me particularly, so ultimately whether or not I really get into this particular character will come down solely based upon the characterization and how the character works in the final context of the film itself, and nothing else. Wonder if I'll end up being converted in a little under a month...hmm, should be fun finding out anyways.
In the meantime, this is cool news for the fans, and I'm sure will prove a very popular piece for all those fans who seem to know more than I do when it comes to this character, but right now not too interested in this one (as far as buying it goes anyway) myself. Then again because of my limited budget I'm going to be very, very picky about which Sideshow pieces I get anyway, limiting myself only to my most favourite characters from the saga. Anyways I'm rambling so I'll shut up now...
Sev.
