Ultra Act Thunder Gridman Pictorial Review

ZeoRangerV · 02-03-2013, 10:53 AM

Courtesy of Gamu-Toys we bring you an extensive pictorial review of the recently released Ultra Act Thunder Gridman figure, also known as Synchro from Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad!

This review includes images of the figure using both the previously released Ultra Act Gridman figure, and the unpainted dummy body included with this release. In order to accommodate Ultra Act Gridman's head under the armour, a larger helmet is also included.

Check out a selection of full-sized images from the review after the jump!

That is pretty cool... but I am concerned with getting Gridman because of the fragility issues I have read about. But I would hate to just get the Thunder Gridman set and not have the regular Gridman. Hrrn.

I wonder if they will make the robot that is formed from just this upgrade? I forget his name, but the three vehicles could combine into their own robo as well as the upgrade. Very Godbomber.

If you look closely, even the reviewer has broken the hands on his Gridman

Agreed, but I was talking in concept if not execution -- armored upgrade for main hero which turns into a robo itself, but rarely shows up in robo form on it's own on the show. That's like the definition of Godbomber.

Wow, that's freaking hilarious!

I am tempted to just buy this one because he does look so fantastic... the sad thing is for the price of this I could get a whole lot of Playmates SSSS toys to just stand on the shelf,

Damn, so you can't fully form the drill tank or the jet?

Resolve to buy... fading.

Well, these kinds of figures are designed to exist solely as a combined whole. Playability sacrificed for detail and articulation. It's interactivity with the standalone Gridman is nothing more than a novelty, born from keeping continuity of scale.
