I want one.
An '86 TF Movie fig of the little Sharkticon fella. I saw some pics on Allspark and he looks cool.
Does anyone know the current market value or have an opinion on them? If he is of the same standard of production as Rodimus and Galvatron, I'm cool with that.

Gnaw is really cool, but chunky and huge. There are KOs of the G1 toy at the moment, and it looks like a company is going to produce smaller KOs which would be more in scale.

That's where I saw the pics. From the promo shots with MP Grimlock.

Well the official one is huge. Also pretty expensive last I checked, since his detachable parts (arms, tail) are all important. And people want more than one. He also doesn't really match the aesthetic of a lot of the other figures of that time. But I've owned one, and his shark mode at least is super. The small KO might be your best bet if it comes out.

I would love a Gnaw but it goes for silly money.

I'm sure he was skipped over in the UK, not sure about other countries.

Gnever get all of poor Bertie's questions answered at this rate!
Gnaw is well worth owning. He's a fun toy in his own right and is probably the best out of all the movie figures in terms of animation model accuracy in both modes due to his simple transformation and the final animation model not undergoing that much in the way of tweaking between the pre-production Floro Dery design that the toy was based on and the final version used in the movie. He completely fails in being at all menacing but makes up for that by being adorable! I love his big green frog eyes and he has a very cute pudgy robot face. His shiny rows of teeth also look especially nice if you find one with good chrome.
Gnaw wasn't released in the UK (I believe he came packed in the same case as the Predacons) and like most of the G1 figures that were not released over here he normally goes for *much* more money when he shows up on eBay UK than he would on the US version (see the UK-based Iguanus linked to the the Pretenders thread? Insanity!) so it's well worth finding an American seller with reasonable postage rates rather than waiting around for one to come up for sale here. I paid about £40 including postage five years ago which was a pretty good price at the time I think.

Then you've only got to worry about wether youre buying a knock-off or a top quality bit of Gnaw action!
