Grim : Monster Jam Creatures

Grim is what happens when you take a monster truck and turn it into an action figure.

These new Monster Jam Creatures figures are made in 2020 by Spin Master Toys as part of the 1:64 scale monster trucks that they make.

I found this guy at Target. I would assume he’ll show up at Wal-Mart as well at some point. He is also available from Amazon.

Sculpt:

Grim seems to be a cross between Skeletor and Phantom Skykiller.

Paint:

His paint applications are pretty basic with solid colors for most of the figure.

Articulation:

Unfortunately this figure does not have much in the way of articulation.

  • Swivel neck
  • Swivel peg and hinge shoulders
  • Swivel T-hips
Accessories:

Grim does come with a 1:64 version of the Monster Truck Grave Digger he was comes from. I don’t collect mini cars so that is going straight to the store.

Not really an accessory per se but he has some killer boots.

Size and scale:

Just like the other figures in this line Grim stands right around the 5″ mark. This whole line is a little larger than typical 1:18 scale figures I feature here but could work as a larger type character. Similar to how I use Ninja Turtle Villains and some 2K Masters of the Universe figures.

Final thoughts:

This figure is also very reminiscent to Chap Mei figures that I love. It was an easy decision to add all 3 figures of this line (so far) to my collection even if they are a little larger than I usually collect.
