Gridman X Diaclone Crossover
 

Here's something fun: Takara will release a crossover toy, featuring the anime Gridman wearing armor inspired by the classic Diaclone mecha, Diabattles.

Diaclone is Takara's original transforming vehicle toyline which was adapted into the well-known Transformers.

We should get more info on "Battlesgridman", as this combination is called, soon-ish.

Huh. Neat! Will definitely keep an eye out for reviews whenever it releases.

That's promising. I can see how that might look cool. It already fits into the Gridman aesthetic.

It will be interesting to see how this turns out. Only problem IMO is that Takara's reboot Diaclone toys are hilariously expensive.

Yeah that is 100% because they are not aimed at kids. They are squarely made for adults with more nostalgia than disposable income!

Baby Dan Dan Diaclone.

My god its beautiful.

That's cool and weird! I hope it's not super expensive like the Diaclone stuff.

*Ahem*

DIA~CLOOOOOOONE!!!

- Dumb question, but what is the official Diaclone website?

- Is there a pre-order up for this yet?

- What's the probability that this was inspired by the multitude of Transformers references in the Gridman anime, given how Diaclone is forever tied to Transformers for obvious reasons?

They're so cool.

New info on the Gridman.

Gridman himself is 14cm tall and the combined mode is 21cm. So... Grid himself isn't big enough to look nice next to SHF, I feel. Next to gunpla won't look bad , though.

24,200 yen

The second figure in the line is a standalone Gridman release without the ship, preorders will be up March 11th.

So Diaclone Gridman without the Diaclone?

Wonder if they will release a tribute to King Gridman as well after this for the fans. Can't complain, looks good. :rock:

This looks awesome. I'm scared of what the price will be though.

edit:

Spoke too soon, I missed the price in this comment when I posted this. Anyways...yeah, that's a bit too much for me. I would have done around $100 maybe (not that I expected it to be that cheap) but this is roughly $230. Eesh.

I hope the people that do grab it enjoy it though.

Fug.

I might be interested in the standalone figure. It's probably the best looking Anime Gridman figure we've got. Maybe.

Yeah, I admit the Diaclone product is in general great, but whoo boy, that price tag.

Here is a shot of the two different Gridman releases, with BattlesGridman on the left. The main difference is the additional paint on the single release.

The lone Gridman is up for pre-order. He's $70, I think? His colors seem a bit more washed out too. What's this guy's height? 70 dollary-doos seems a lot if he'd be small.

I really love how the Gridsuit more resembles the accepter due to its size and form.
