You can now have your Separatist commander hard-boiled or deep fried. Hasbro retooled the previous TCW versions and gave him additional articulation (especially in the legs), interchangeable battle damage parts, new head sculpt, but alas, less ambidexterity and fire power. CW10 General Grievous may be the best TCW version yet, but if there's one complaint, it's that his shoulder plates do not stay on and we recommend keeping the rubber bands on the hands because they are not sculpted well enough to grip those sabers.
What's your take on the new Grievous? Post your comments!

CW10 - General Grievous
I happily passed on this figure. Since I don't open what I buy, I didn't need it. The 2008 version (and its corresponding hologram) was perfectly satisfactory.

I for one love the updated Grievous and he was the first figure I opened in addition to Pre Vizla..... he's amazing with the battle damage features and a much needed update. Love It.
