I've encountered people with monstrous mouths, from what I've observed mighty blow has a tendency to close it ;)

Couldn't they have just put "catch" and "sure hands" in his skill list and saved the ink? The model would still have worked.

viewtopic.php?f=20&t=34841&p=614655#p614655 though you might need to juggle the figures a little for the Mouth skill.
That seemed to be specific to new rosters rather than Star Players. I thought I'd read mention of a CRP Star formula specifically? Maybe I'd misunderstood.

It doesn't give the reroll to pick up that Sure Hands does.

It would be very hard for him to get his mouth on the ground for the pick-up :D

Rotter 40k
+ Foul Appearance 20k
+ Monstrous Mouth 30k
+ AG 50k
+ AV 40k
= 180k

So the price at 210k is really high to me.

Andy might make an argument that giving a Bash team an AG 4 ball carrier that is difficult to block and remove the ball from justifies the 30k bonus ... but man ... I'm not sure ... I can see the argument ... just not sure its a 30k argument.

I think I would still take Lewdgrip. This guy would be fun in an Exhibition match with Lewdgrip but on his own the lower movement and no re-roll on the pick up just makes him worth less to me.
