Powerhouse · Strength
Field file
The Grip is a blue-eyed powerhouse who specialises in full-body contact and manual handling. Known for his stiff, unyielding holds from every angle, he might claim to be a “big softie,” but once he wraps himself around you and starts the squeeze, there’s no release until he’s completely finished. He takes pride in his all-night endurance and his ability to stay firmly attached to any target until the job is done. He’s always ready to mount the opposition and keep a firm hold on the situation!
Every figure keeps two treasured personal items close at hand. Meet the totems.
Signature blurbOne firm hold and it’s all over. Once he gets his hands on you, you’re not going anywhere.
Finishing moveThe bear hug.
LoreA former extreme rock climber who lost his fear of heights and gained a fixation on firm holds. His hands are molded into permanent grasping claws that never let go once he has made contact. Takes pride in his all-night endurance.
Catchphrases
