MP-08X Masterpiece King Grimlock - with Throne Accessory
Takara is selling the accessory separately, it's not included as a free bonus accessory like in past releases so we have created a new listing for King Grimlock & this accessory. As you can imagine if it's his throne it is quite large, and there is a cost to both it and to ship it to the US. If you've already preordered and want to change to this version, we are happy to update your preorder and we'll reach out directly to all customers that preordered, or if you stacked simply cancel and re-add this version. Although not confirmed, the mystery accessory could be something else, and even if it's a throne no official picture has been released yet. This image is just a placeholder.
