Stalker is also on sale for 5.65. I wish Grunt would go that cheap.

Welp, looks like the Cobra Troopers are sold out at the clearance price. Now, it's scalpers listing them for $24+. Good luck with that buddy! LOL!

So, I ordered three grunts and a cobra officer a few weeks ago. They arrived, two grunts and two cobra officers. Not to happy, but I figured the price was the same. I opened one grunt, and the ball on the t-bar twisted off. I can't decide if I want to order another one. I like the headsculpt but frankly, for customizing, I might as well use Stalkers which are cheaper and more plentiful.

I just got my Grunt and man, that dude is ugly. Weird lip color, uneven face like he had bad acne in his teens, massive bulby drinkers nose, eyebrows that would make a cromagnon proud. Now that they can sculpt int eh computer with infinite detail, they think they have to make faces more topologically complex than Hawaii. Really ugly. Doesn't help the tampos they use instead of paint for eye and brow detail glisten, so the light can reflect off all those horrid bumps.
Don't get me started about what he looks like in his helmet, but it resembles a bit what's in my pants. Question: What's with these retro head pegs? I can't twist 'em off. Do they fit the older 25th and 50th heads still, if I was to heat em up a bit and get it off? Is there an extra barbell in there like Bossfight now, or what? I really want to swap out this pig-head of a Grunt. |

I think Grunt is supposed to be ugly. The Walmart Retro is like a high def version. I like it.
I think the customizing section of the forum has a breakdown showing MTF head fits on Stalker body, etc. |

I like it. Mostly just an issue with the facial paints, needing to wipe off the lipstick and thin the eyebrows a little.

Agree with this. The '82 Vintage Grunt was butt-ugly, like a neanderthal. The retro version is similar, but not exactly the same. In any case, I strongly prefer the retro version to the original.

Maybe it's just my imagination, but I think the sculptor was attempting to capture some facial features of the original 1982 Grunt (v.1) when designing the 2021 Robert "Grunt" Graves (v.15) Infantry Trooper figure (nose, lips, chin, etc.).

anyone know if the old 25th Anniversary Rock and Roll figure's head fit on fine on the new Grunt figure body or not?
