Lego Ultra Build General Grievous by KSZ

Guys, have you seen this set released by Lego?



Most of the ultra-build model released by Lego are buildable figure from Super Heroes (for example Batman, Joker, Green Lantern, Iron Man, Hulk and Captain America) and Legends of Chima theme. The style is very similar to Hero Factory and Ben 10 themed set. The build has superb articulation and for some set, you can combine 2 set together.

Example of Joker and Green Lantern combiner model:

About this ultrabuild of General Grievous, this set never made by Lego. Starwars Ultrabuild series is one of Pekko project on Lego Ideas (previously CUUSOO). Lego decided not to proceed with the project because licensing  issues (Hasbro is the one who own the license for Star Wars action figures)

Pekko also suggest other ultrabuild characters from Star Wars such as Storm Trooper, Darth Vader, Boba Fett, C-3PO and Jango Fett. You can watch video made by him about these ultrabuild on youtube here.

How awesome is that! Now i cannot wait to assemble mine =)



Assembled figure:
Baymax minifigure next to him in the picture below is just for comparison purposes. 



Posable Mr.GG above is about 21cm tall and he look gorgeous. The plastic is great and the bricks stick well too. I found another figure on aliexpress but the price is not that attractive. I got my GG around RM12 (USD4) so i won't pay more than that for the other figure lol.

  1. Lego is making figures, and one is even based on this same character, though Lego's doesn't have a cape, so that's cool about this one. This set seems to even have some characters that Lego doesn't make, though maybe they will in the future, who knows. Here's the link to some that Lego is going to come out with: http://brickset.com/sets/theme-Star-Wars/subtheme-Battle-Figures
