...Couldn't put General Grievous back together again.

I liked Star Wars III, and especially liked General Grievous. So When my kids saw the exploding Grievous figure, I thought, Sure, what the heck.

The action figure looks very cool, but good luck putting the pieces of General Grievous back together again once you push that tempting little "explode" button.

You might have some luck assembling him, but after two or three explosions, he'll never be same. The pieces just don't hold the same and tend to fall off at the slightest provocation.

So if you like General Grievous, get it, but be aware of how delicate this action figure is. If anything, get it, and save it as a collectible.

Please don't buy this for your child. I wish I had read the reviews before I bought one for my son. He was beyond excited when I gave it to him, but 5 minutes after he took it apart (the plastic band), he couldn't get it to stay back together. He was so disappointed he cried. I returned it today.

this toy sucks! all the falling apart and apart is sooo anoying! if you had 5$ and this was the only toy and the toy cost exactly 5$ DONT i repeat DONT get this toy!

I was pretty excited to pick up this toy. General Grievous looks to be a pretty cool and interesting new character in the final Star Wars film, and I wanted to get a new figure, rather than yet another Yoda or Anakin or Vader. (Ok, I DID get the Vader fig., but how could I not?) I took him out of the package and took off the rubber robe that comes with the caracter so I could check out the "exploding" feature. There was a rubberband around him to keep him together while packaged- fine. Well, once that rubber band comes off, there's no keeping him put back together. It wasn't necessary to include a button to make him explode- he does it on his own any time you take your hands off. After 15 minutes of trying to get him to stay together, I put the rubberband back on, and the robe to cover it up. (The robe is also frustrating, as it completely covers his right arm, meaning he can only hold the blaster or lightsaber- not both.) So, my new General Grievous will sit on my shelf with the rest of my Star Wars figs., but not see very much play. (On a bright note, at least he stands on his own, unlike the new Vader...)

This toy was great fun for the first explosion. He never went back together. Amazon should bundle this with super glue "buy together and save." My six year old hates this toy it is so frustrating. I did finally super glue it and now he can at least hold it without it falling apart.

I read all off these guys reivews and i figured i take there advice but i have all the other figures so i told my self i would by this last and i did. i was smart though because i kept the rubber band that wraps him together.so he is just like a regular action figure so my advice to you is to return it then by it again. and when you wrap him cross the band around his neck about 4-7 times. But i really do love this toy

ok, this toy has caused me a lot of trouble. first, when I try to move the lightsaber, his arm falls off, second, his legs don't even bend, and I don't recomend taking off the rubber band that holds him together, or general greivous wont' be the only one exploding!

Why. This toy was supose to be good! Actauly it sucks. This toy really does not even blow up itjust falls apart. Then it does not stay together. Once you take off the ruber band it falls apart. Save your money and buy the and buy the other general gris toy.

This figure is strange. I saw the movie and Grievous doesnt explode. I ordered it here on thi site and everyone thinks it breaks easily. I should have ordered the four armed variant.

I got this toy late last night and could hardly wait to play with it. The next day when I got home from school to try it out, and it was a very frustrating experience. Grievious has a exploding button on his back, but I don't think it is necessary.

He will fall apart if you move him. I spent one hour trying to keep him together using rubberbands, tape, etc. As soon as I get a chance, Grievious is going back to the store. I'll try out the four-armed figure instead.
