This is a pretty solid rendition of the General Grievous. He is very well-sculpted and has good articulation, including knees. His four arms can spread out to increase his range of mayhem. He has an action feature where you can press down on his head and make the right and left arm pairs swing up and down. Though it may seem stupidly simple, it is actully a lot of fun to play around with! The one drawback to the figure is that there is no elbow articulation. Because of this, I gave the figure four stars instead of five. The lack of elbow joints limits movement of the arms and makes their positioning a little messy. In certain arm positions, his lightsabers start crossing onto each other and he will also hit himself on the head with them when using the action feature. The figure would have been 100% perfect if he had come with elbow joints. There is a Deluxe version of Grievous that does have them, but his rear arms cannot spread out at the shoulders. Oh well, I guess you can't have it all! Other than that, this is still a very fun General Grievous figure especially with the action feature. Overall I definitely recommend this figure.

General Grievous is the leader of Count Dooku's Seperatist Army, and was personally trained by Dooku in the art of lightsaber combat. Marketing wise, Grievous made his debut in the Cartoon Network Clone Wars series, and fills the role of uber-cool disposable villain that was previously held by Darth Maul and Jango Fett. Definitely a stunning character design, every collector, parent, and scalper is going to be after this guy. Grab him if you see him, you'll definitely want to add him to your Star Wars collection.

Grievous comes with a very good paint job, and a nice lightsaber slashing attack that, as others have mentioned, is fun without hurting the figure's overall posability. However, I do have a nitpick in that Grievous isn't quite as dynamic and posable as one would expect him to be. He looks great in the packaging, but once you take him out he's kinda stiff. In the Clone Wars cartoon he was jumping and flipping and doing all kinds of weird tricks with his body, which you really can't do here. The joints in his arms are a bendable rubber and not real articulation, which is slightly disappointing.

Still, overall Grievous is an authentic toy with a very good sculpt, and after the movie opens demand for this guy will probably skyrocket. Purchase on sight.

General Grievous is a very cool figure. He has 11 points of articulation and has a very cool lightsaber attack that unlike previous "attack action" figures ACTUALLY WORKS and does not impeade the articulation of the figure. GG is very detailed and is a must have for any Star Wars lover.
Oh, and MAF "MAF", Lucus does not make the toys. Hasbro does and makes them well made thank you. Buy the toy before you make a statement about it.

I just got this toy a couple of hours ago in KB because I couldnt find it in Target. Its really cool to play with. You can move almost every part of him. The lightsaber attack is real cool. Im really excited about the movie and General Grievous. This figure is going to be real rare and wont be in stores for long so you better buy it quick!

This is a great looking Grievous figure. The four lightsabers are a nice touch, but the "attack" action is a little clumsy. Grievous hits his head fairly regularly when the "attack" feature is used. Other than that, the figure's mold is great. I just wish it had a few more articulation points.

This is definitely a display figure more than a legitimate toy. Its durability is somewhat lacking, but that is more than made up for by the accuracy of the figure's look.

In short, buy this figure to add to a collection for display. I have a feeling that Grievous will have quite a little cult going after the film has run its course, so if you collect these toys for profit, you may want to snag this one quickly.

I had seen grievous since the clone wars on cartoon network
and I thought it would make a preety good toy after all.I got him
the very first day the ROTS toys came out I was going to get the
clone trooper with quick draw attack, but I saw Grievous and I
decided to buy him instead it is one of the best toys besides
Darth Vader which i'm planing to get I really recomend this toy.

My son really wanted this and we had a hard time finding one in the stores. Overall has held up well. It is easy to loose the light sabers but other than that we have been pleased.

it's a good toy and all,good body,great legs and awsome lightsabers.it's just his arms can get annoeying.but besides that,he is my favorite toy.

thi toy is great the lightsaber attack tho 4 arms and lightsabers. there a exploding body one.
but this one is great.
flying of the shelvs quick so get one today

this is a great figure much better than the other grievous's. I really love getting out my obi-wan kenobi and re-anacting the scene of the battle. one problem is he kinda hit's himslef in the head alot with the slashing attack.but I really do enjoy him so by him if you see him by him because soon he'll be gone.l
