Yeah, I prefer Zangetsu's regular suit much more. It just evokes more of that badass samurai image compared to Shin-Zangetsu. Plus the Melon Defender > Sonic Arrow by far.


But I absolutely love the idea of Shin-Zangetsu being this dark form where whoever seems to be wearing it at the time has become a corrupted and twisted version of themselves.

Zangetsu Jimba Melon Arms please.

I apologise if this has already been discussed and I missed it, but did anyone else notice Gridon has different wrist joints to the rest of Gaim Figuarts?

Okay... Those look really really weird.

But I'd probably prefer them to the obnoxiously thin and tiny wrists the rest have.

Gridon's wrist peg is better than the normal Gaim releases because of its thickness. It never felt to me that the peg would snap off during hand swaps. It feels sturdy.

While I agree that thickness = better, I never really felt that the Gaim pegs were as fragile as the usual wrist pegs Figuarts use. In fact I'd rate them as sturdier than normal despite the size.

The problem before was there was next to no support between the two balls, but with the Gaim figures they added that wide base that surrounds them.

Maybe... Exclusives get a better treatment...? :p

But being TOO strudy is also a bad thing.

Kyoryu Red is as a prime example.

That's not being too sturdy, that's being too tight.

The connection between the peg holes on Kyoryu Red's wrists and the actual ball joint were too tight, so put too much pressure on either side without being careful and they rip right off.

Gridon's don't feel that way. The hands pop off without too much force and I don't feel like the ball joint is straining in the process. I agree that the wrist joints on the other Gaim releases have felt pretty good and not as cautious as other releases (Though my Zangetsu's left wrist joint was shoddy and tends to pop apart when swapping certain hands), I'm just saying Gridon's feel more-so.

Yeah, I think they're using the thicker joint for exclusives. Odd choice, but whatever. I don't have Gridon in hand, but I haven't been scared that my current Gaim figures' joints would break.
