Griffin is one of the discontinued "unseen" mechs. The original artwork for it came from the Anime series Dougram: Fang of the Sun, where it was aptly known as the "Soltic Roundfacer". It also made an appearance in the Revell © line of Robotech models, where it was called "Thorin." There are two Ral Partha castings, both from the mid 1980s. The more rare version is larger and has less detail. Note that this mech is often misspelled as "Griffen." In 2003, a "reseen" version was released with non-anime art.
