The dreaded Supreme Commander of the Separatist droid armies struck the premium tier of The Vintage Collection in 2010 as part of the initial Wave 2 launch. This "Foil" variant of General Grievous features the same masterfully engineered Revenge of the Sith sculpt as the standard release but is elevated by the limited-edition silver foil packaging. Released as a chase subset to celebrate the return of the Kenner-style branding, this variant became an immediate holy grail for carded collectors due to the sheer size of the figure straining against the shimmering, reflective bubble.

Technical Details & Sculpt

• Design & Cyborg Silhouette: The sculpt is a marvel of 3.75-inch engineering, capturing the spindly, skeletal frame and the reinforced white armor plates that shield his organic remains. Standing taller than the average figure, Grievous is captured in his signature predatory, hunched-over stance, perfectly mirroring his menacing presence on the Invisible Hand.
• Deco & Mechanical Complexity: The 2010 release is defined by its bone-white and industrial grey palette. The paint application features a subtle yellowing of the armor to simulate age, while the mechanical joints are treated with a dark wash to emphasize the intricate hydraulics. His cold, reptilian eyes are precisely painted within the mask, ensuring his murderous intent is visible even at a small scale.
• Articulation: Featuring advanced TVC articulation specifically designed for his unique frame, including ball-jointed shoulders, elbows, and knees. The definitive feature of this sculpt is the split-arm capability, allowing the figure to transition from two primary arms to four separate limbs for a multi-lightsaber assault.
• Display Utility: While the foil carding often dictates a "sealed" display, the figure itself is the mandatory "villain" for any Utapau or Invisible Hand Bridge diorama. He is best positioned alongside his MagnaGuards (VC18).

Accessories & Equipment

General Grievous comes prepared to expand his collection of Jedi trophies. He includes four unique lightsabers (two blue, two green) with distinct hilt designs that fit securely into his mechanical hands. A standout feature of the 2010 release is the premium soft-goods cape, featuring a grey exterior, a deep red lining, and internal pockets specifically designed to hold his stolen lightsaber hilts. Additionally, he comes equipped with his signature DT-57 heavy blaster pistol, allowing for diverse display options ranging from a tactical commander to a four-armed whirlwind of destruction.
